Okay, larger Expansion Pack budget but can't create unique animations for worm farm?

Is it true Sims just slide down a ladder? This is something I might expect from custom content (in the older games) where a well known modder said they couldn't get the animations correct and wasn't able to include custom animations with the ladder (from TS2) but not something I would expect from Maxis who has an entire professional team not amateurs and a budget and time to create the animations. It's all like well, it doesn't work like you would expect but here you go, just take it and wait for us to 'someday' animate it properly.
