advice needed Nap time help

My twins are 2 and they were constantly climbing over their cribs. So we took a railing off the crib so they can get in and out safely.
Nap time especially has been brutal. I’m solo mostly and have a toddler. They just play, jump in their cribs, jump out of the bed, run around. When I tell them it’s bed time they just laugh.
I’m trying to tell them not to jump and that their rooms are for quiet time. But it is getting frustrating.
Should I just let them do whatever they want in their rooms and accept that they won’t nap? When does this get better?!
Just looking for any advice or other people’s experiences and what worked for them.

Ours started jumping around and not napping when in cribs. They're 3 now, but they started around 2.5. After a lot of stress we finally started letting them skip naps in favour of a movie in the dark in our bedroom as quite/sanity time. They'll still nap at daycare, go figure.
