How does the sneak out window actually work?

Hi simmers <3

My friend asked me to please build her a house in Moonwood Mill but she wants the teen's bedroom to have one of those sneak out windows. I build the lot and I always playtest my lots before uploading them and the teen never wanted to use the window to get out, even when I placed a bench and microscope outside her window, I would have her stand right at the window and direct her to it and she would just walk all the way down to the first floor, out the door and then climb up the lattice to go the microscope or bench. There is only a lock for option on the window if I click on it. For those of you who use it, how does it actually work?

For me to get it to work for the playtest I had to lock my teen inside her bedroom and then she happily used the window to get in and out as you can see in these pics ;)

My friend wanted the house uploaded as it is now, but I would love to know what the correct way is to use the sneak out window, does it have to be past a certain time? Please any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

    idk I find sims can sometimes be tad dumb about the routing stuff

    for example my goths keep choosing to use ladder that goes from first floor to third floor outside just to then use another ladder to go to second floor when they get inside

    all meanwhile theres perfectly good staircase from 1st floor to second floor right in front of their nose and nothing is blocking them from using it :sweat_smile:

    guess they just like to live dangerously

    could have almost sworn though that you could click the window to use it


    Hahaha your Goths do not trust stair cases. I also thought you could click on the window, but unless you get the invite you can't, the only option is to lock it like you can doors ;)


    I love having them slide down that ridiculously long ladder as if it isn't about same as jumping off a building :lol: they also have more ladder from the attic down the chimney all the way to the spooky basement where urns and cornelias magic stuff is
  • Hahaha @Simmingal I can just imagine seeing that. Wish I could be a fly on the wall in your game, sounds very AweSim in there ;) Sorry for the late reply been very busy in real life ;)
