I really wish sims could cancel an animation instead of having to go through the full animation. If a sim half way up the stairs or ladder and I cancel the climbing they should climb back down to do the input instead of climbing all the way to the top, climb back down and then do the action.

I’m not saying this IS how it’s done but it COULD be
Ladder \/
| - | A
| - |
| - |
| - |
| - |
| - | B
The program is probably something like, sim move from a to b
If you cancel the action, the sim can’t be like a.5 it would have to continue and then reverse
Down the ladder : sim move from a to b
Cancel : reverse (so you end up where you started because you clearly didn’t want the sim to go up the stairs)
It’s already actually quite cleaver if you think about it. You cancel the sim from going up the ladder or stairs so it makes the sim stay at the bottom, they could’ve just made it stop at the top but they didn’t.
Try and appreciate the sims team & their work more, it isn’t so easy

Canceling on a straight line stairs or ladder is likely be much harder to program and why we don't have it. I would love to have it though!
> I love the ladders but I still want spiral stairs.
Spiral stairs are #1 on my wish list too.
