Elevator

Elevators are objects introduced in The Sims 2: Open for Business, The Sims 2: Apartment Life, and The Sims 3: Late Night. They allow quick travel between floors and Sims can WooHoo in them.

They are added in Build Mode; only elevators added in a vertical "elevator shaft" will be usable, so all elevators in a particular shaft must be above or below the others in the same shaft.

Elevators can sometimes be dangerous to Sims traveling in them. Especially in lower-grade elevators, the cable may sometimes snap, plummeting the elevator to the lowest level - this drop may kill any Sims riding inside, or it may simply shock the rider, who will step out unharmed. After a cable snap, the elevator will need to be repaired before it can be used.

The Sims 3: Late Night


It has been confirmed that elevators will be available in The Sims 3: Late Night and that Sims can WooHoo in them, and will not carry the risk of cable snapping. In a new video by EA Germany, it is confirmed that a player can also add an elevator to a house the same way they were able to in TS2:OFB. Sims with the unlucky and/or clumsy trait often get stuck between the doors, or fall flat out when exiting the elevator.
