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.



It has been confirmed that elevators will be available in The Sims 3: Late Night and that Sims can WooHoo in them, but it is unknown if they also carry the risk of cable snapping.
