How can I add or include a working elevator to a three or four level building?

Hello PC Sims4 players,

Is there a way to add working elevators on Sims4 using a PC, to my three and four level buildings. Is there a build mode item I 'am overlooking? I have the FOR RENT expansion. I wanted to include elevators like the ones in City Living apartments, but to my own builds. Remember I'm using PC Sims4.

Thank you in advance for your insight.

    Sugarless22​  Elevators in Sims 4 are basically paired site to site teleporters.  Out of the box, you can't use them like in a RL building with a separate elevator on each floor.   AS you've probably found out already, the game won't even let you place that many on the lot.   So, the short answer to your question is no.  You might be able to create or find a mod to let them be used the way you want but Idk of nor have I searched for any.  

    Hope this helps.

    Edit: A friend pointed out that the City Living elevators actually show up if you search for "elevator" even without debug cheats. They're just in a usually hidden "penthouse items" category.

    [Original response: They should have them in debug anyway, since they exist in the worlds. I don’t think any pack has them available in build mode without the debug cheat.]

    That would be nice. No more stairs to adjust. PipManace  said City Living, Lovestruck and Eco lifestyle  have elevators  in build mode.. I'll check it out.

    As an aside... I would LOVE if they added the ability to just pop in our own elevators in basegame... so we could add them on a rental, large residence, business, etc. Wherever made sense to us in the lot we're building and the intent we have in mind for it. I would love for them to work without any funny-business - easy and user-friendly. Plus that ladders and stairs can also work on the lot.

    For Rent doesn’t have elevators. Do you have any of the packs that come with the apartment lot type? City Living, Eco Lifestyle, Lovestruck? If so, you should be able to find those elevators in debug. Otherwise you’ll need a mod.

    I know it's a portal but how do I include one in a build. Can I purchase a elevator in build mode? PC Sims4 player with For Rent expansion.
