To Woohoo in the treehouse, an adult Sim has to select the Enclosure option when interacting with the treehouse, and it’ll appear within that section if the Sim has any potential partners nearby.

Once the treehouse is fully customized and built, Sims can enjoy their time with it by sitting on top, watching nature, or simply chatting. Inside the enclosure, they can sleep, nap, relax, and play.
