Hello! I loved the new update, mainly because of ladders and the new inventory, but there's ont thing annoying me: My Sims can't take trash or clothes from the upper floor if I use ladders. I need them to put the trash or clothes in the inventory, climb down the ladders and then do the proper actions. Was it meant to be like this?

Was it meant to be like this?Sims probably have to use two hands when climbing - but they should be able to make it so sims put the stuff in their inventories automatically. The sims do it all the time when they do other stuff. Maybe they just didn't have time - we could ask the gurus to see if they can update it.

I ran into the same issue. And while it doesn't work with the current animations used for these actions, I agree that they should make it so Sims will temporarily put this stuff in their inventory while going up or down ladders. I mean, the inventory is bottomless, so a bit of additonal trash or laundry isn't going to break their backs you know.

Well, it does make sense. It would be pretty cumbersome having to carry laundry/garbage down a ladder, haha.

How do you climb down a ladder carrying any of those things????I will just have to plan my builds around these limitations I guess.

What I tend to do is that I only put a hamper in the laundry room, and I don't put it anywhere else, this way the dirty laundry will automatically go to the hamper right next the washing machine and sims won't have to carry it for long distances. I used to put hampers in bedrooms and bathrooms, but once I found out about this, I only put it in the laundry room.

That’s a really good solution!! Thanks for sharing :).

OH SAME!! This has been the key to playing with laundry without frustration. I used to have laundry baskets in every bedroom of the house when the laundry room was downstairs and it was a mess. putting a couple of baskets in the laundry room changed everything and I'll never go back. haha

My a animals are stuck. I switched out the stairs to ladder in the underground bunker in Sulani. I had a dog and didn't think about it. When I switched back to them later to check on them, I noticed the dog was stuck there. I didn't think about that. He can't even runaway because he's unhappy.

The weird thing is - I'm sure my Sim can carry a book up and down the ladder with one hand. Anyone else seen this happening? So why not everything else?
