'''Elevators''' were introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'',<ref name="available">[https://twitter.com/TheSims3/status/19862430014 Tweet] ''@TheSims3 will there be elevators?!! @eduardog3000 Yes!''</ref> ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]''. They allow quick travel between floors. In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', they can also be used for [[WooHoo]]

Line 17:
Elevators have a 2x2 footprint, with the two squares in front of the door being reserved. Elevator doors act like other doors—they penetrate walls, and wall coverings will wrap around them. The lowest part of an elevator must be placed on terrain or a floor; all other parts must be placed on a floor. It is possible to place flooring on the top of a door or shaft section, which allows an elevator to be built against an exterior wall. Elevator doors do not need to face the same direction on all floors; as long as the shafts align vertically, the doors can face any direction. It is also possible to omit certain floors from service by placing '''The Ultravator Shaft by SchafftCo''' instead of an elevator door on the selected floors; this allows elevators to skip floors while still servicing floors above or below it.
Unlike [[staircase]]s, elevators can only be used by one Sim at a time. Sims will usually prefer taking the elevator over the stairs. A player can manually direct a Sim to use an elevator by clicking on the door and selecting "Go To This Floor".
Elevators can sometimes be dangerous to Sims traveling in them, especially in lower-grade, cheaper elevators. Occasionally, the cable may snap, plummeting the elevator to the lowest level, and will lower the comfort, bladder, energy, fun and hygiene motives of the Sim inside. Sims on lots with elevators may have a [[Wants and Fears|fear]] of a cable snapping. After a cable snap, the elevator will need to be repaired before it can be used. If a Sim went through a plummet in a bad mood, they might die.

Elevators are included in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. They can be found in the stairs, railing and elevators category of build mode. Unlike elevators in ''The Sims 2'', there is no risk of the cable snapping.

The '''Deco Elevator''' can be found in [[penthouse]]s in [[Bridgeport]], although they can be placed on regular residential lots as well. They have a 2x2 footprint, with a 2x2 square in front of the doors being reserved. There should be at least three additional tiles in front of this square to give Sims room to route to the elevator. Elevators need to be placed on flooring or on empty terrain, and the doors need to be placed over a wall. Like ''The Sims 2'', elevator doors can face any direction, provided that they are all on the same shaft. Individual elevators can be recolored and retextured with the [[Create a Style]] tool. Players can use elevator shafts instead of doors to skip floors.
Elevators function similarly to those in ''The Sims 2'', with a number of changes. Elevators can be used by multiple Sims at a time, and players can direct Sims to go to any floor from any door. Sims may get stuck between the doors while exiting; the chances of this happening are increased for Sims who have the [[Clumsy (The Sims 3)|clumsy]] or [[unlucky]] traits. Elevators will play neighborhood and build mode music from ''[[The Sims]]'' when used.

Elevators returned in ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]''.
Elevators do not need to be surrounded by a wall, and they do not need to be placed in a shaft in order to function.<ref>https://youtu.be/EZazTcpPvAE?t=243</ref>
