Re: The new EZ escape window in the highschool years pack doesn't work

@Liam_20605 

Thanks (lovely build!).

The reason it isn't working for you is because you haven't added a floor to where the sim has to get off the ladder. They can't slide from the ladder to the window. The ladder exit is shown in green here:

You will have to edit it slightly to make workable. I did this with the ladder:

then added some decorative trellis to try to blend it in a bit. You can add it above the ladder, the sim will successfully climb up and down the ladder:

This isn't a bug but is working as intended.

    I followed your example for placing a surface for the sim to dismount the ladder and that work. What still doesn't work is the window itself. The (not so) EZ escape window only gives the option to lock for a specific sim or to lock. What gives with this window?? The trellis ladder works but the window still does not!

    I think there are certain situations you use the window in but I'm not clear on what they are. My live mode knowledge is pretty sketchy 🙂

    I had no problem with a sim going up and through the window.  All I had to do is click on the floor inside the room and select go here.  The sim went where I told them by climbing the trellis and going through the window.  Same with using it to go outside except you click on the ground.  There are no options on the window.  The only reason that I can think of that would cause your sim to not do that is there is something blocking the path.  Things like something placed on the tile under the window in the room.  

    I did some testing when we first got the pack and had some trouble getting them to do that in some builds.  They kept using the doors and stairs but found that if you locked the door to the room with the window, they would then use the trellis and window to enter and exit the room.  So, you can try that.

    Hope this helps.
