Shun those safe, but repetitive stairways for the excitement of a closed box dangling on a thin wire far above the bottom of a dank shaft. Comes fully equipped with doors and a button.</blockquote>

Elevators are included in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. Formal can be often found and typically are placed in high rises. The '''Deco Elevator''' share similar characteristics that of the elevators in previous game, as well as numerous differences. They can be found in the stairs, railing and elevators category of build mode. Elevators will play neighborhood and build mode music from ''[[The Sims]]'' when used.

In order to built a functional consecutive elevator system, vacant space for the elevator and its entrance path must be ensure clear. Elevators in ''Late Night'' have a 2x2 footprint, with a 2x2 square in front of the doors being reserved. Despite the regulation's minimum, the clear narrow hallway of the elevator pathway must at least stretch 3 tiles away for Sims to successfully use it. Otherwise, the Sim in question will complain of unable to reach the floor when instruct. Every elevator needs to be place above ground or flooring, with the doors penetrating its width wall. Each elevator must be stack above each other, aligned with their above highlighted yellow tiles. These only appear when hovering with the hang-grabbed elevator above the placed elevator and following floor .Like ''The Sims 2'', elevator doors can face any direction, provided that they are all on the same shaft. Just like in the past, individual elevator can be recolored and retextured with the [[Create a Style]] tool.

Like ''The Ultravator Shaft by SchafftCo'' in ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', players can install an '''elevator shaft''' for a floor or more to restrict access for the passengers and have it be skipped.

Unlike elevators in ''The Sims 2'', there is no risk of the cable snapping and can be used by up to 4 Sims at a time. Player can direct their Sim to go to the chosen floor by clicking on any of the elevators of the common shaft. An elevator will be instantly called in the Sim's vicinity, as the object's call button lacks pressing animation. If any Sim is left behind and can't get to the elevator for any reason, they will then be teleported in it. Sims when exiting the elevator may get stuck between the doors and fall flat out on the ground. The chances of this happening are increased for Sims who have the [[Clumsy (The Sims 3)|Clumsy]] or [[Unlucky]] trait.

Tube elevators were introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future|Into the Future]]''. They have a 1x1 footprint, with the space in front of the tube being reserved, and can only be used by one Sim at a time. Using them increases the [[Advanced Technology]] skill, and Sims with higher Advanced Technology skill are more adept at using them.
