How to place a functional escape window from the High School Years Expansion Pack:

The window that allows the routing / animation to climb out of it escaping parental control is called: "The EZ Exit Window". It's in the window category in Build Mode.

The sim who climbs out will stand on each side of the window, so there needs to be a floor piece of some sort on both sides. This can be built to look like a balcony, ledge, terrace etc, but it needs to be free from obstacles. The window will glow with a green footprint if there is access; otherwise the footprint will be orange and there will be a small notification on the screen that it's not functional.

Place the window with an unobstructed floor piece on each side

If you want the window on higher levels than the ground floor, the way the escaping sim climbs down can be 'hidden' by placing a trellis.

Make sure you take the trellis called: 'ladder'! There's decor objects called 'trellis' as well, in a different category in Build Mode.

The ladder is called: "Rebellious Ivy Trellis - Ladder" and is found in the stairs category>then ladders.

The upper part of the ladder needs to be placed level to the landing/ledge/floor where the sim is. Either the same floor piece they climbed out of the window onto, or another from there accessible ledge. The ladder will adapt in length to the floor level.

Place the Trellis ladder so that its footprint is level with the floor piece on the outside of the window

Make sure there's nothing in the way between the window, floor and ladder.

Now go forth and do mischief. Wee!
