This article needs a picture to illustrate what it is about. Find an image or upload one and add it.
Elevators were introduced in The Sims 2: Open for Business, and reappeared in The Sims 2: Apartment Life, and The Sims 3: Late Night[1]. 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.
The Sims 2
Elevators have a 2x2 footprint, with the two squares in front of the door being reserved. There is also a doorless 2x2 shaft, which can be used if the player does not want the elevator to stop on a particular floor.
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
This section describes features that are only available in The Sims 3: Late Night.
Elevators are available in The Sims 3: Late Night[1]. Sims can WooHoo in them[2], and there is no risk of the cable snapping. In a new video by EA Germany, it was confirmed that a player can also add an elevator to a house the same way they were able to in TS2:OFB.[3] Judging from this movie, elevators in Late Night have a 2x2 footprint, with a 2x2 square in front of the doors being reserved. Sims with the unlucky and/or clumsy trait often get stuck between the doors, or fall flat out when exiting the elevator. The chances of this happening are raised for Sims who have both traits.
