    @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'm trying to use the EZ escape window from the high school years pack in my build but it's not working (orange frame around the window saying gameplay isn't functional), even though my sim is able to climb through the window and use the ladder trellises pictured. As soon as I place the ladder, the sims refuse to use the window at all and instead just climb down the ladder every time.

Pictured below is the set up:

    @Bluebellflora It does work, though, which is why I'm confused. My sim will choose to climb down the ladder and go around rather than use the window. And there's a second ladder, too, against the wall that my sim is headed towards. both are functional for my sims but somehow not functional with the window...

      Ah yeah, my mistake with the ladder at the front. There are definitely certain criteria for using the window though. I'm going to merge this thread into the one I linked to as it's good to have the same conversation in one place for back and forth discussion 🙂

        So what's going on with this? I'm having the same issue that sims will not climb out of the window and then down the ladder unless I lock the door in the room with that window so that they have no other way out. Please don't tell me this is the intended functionality.. How can I make sims go through the window without locking doors to that room?
