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 can host WooHoo, but also carry a slight risk of killing a Sim if the cable snaps. 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 existence of Elevators in The Sims 3: Late Night was confirmed on July 29, 2010 during a "twitterview" with Grant Rodiek; it is confirmed that Sims will be able to WooHoo in the elevator, but it is unknown whether elevator cables will snap in the new expansion pack.
