Stairs and ladders can be placed through platforms
In Sims 4, it is possible to place ladders and stairs through platforms. However, the player must be a human Sim in order to use this feature. This means that toddlers, pets, and older humanoid Sims cannot use this feature. Besides, ladders and stairs are only functional building items, and they cannot be used as freestanding furniture modifications. The game does not allow players to place ladders on top of bunk beds.
There are several limitations to placing stairs and ladders through platforms in Sims 4. For instance, if you want to place stairs parallel to each other, you need to build a larger landing area. Additionally, when creating a staircase, Sims must remove floor tiles, which is not possible unless you delete the whole staircase. This video shows the new staircase feature and other build and buy items in Sims 4.
