Re: No elevator in an apartment

@Bluebellflora From the pics it looks like the Chic Street Apartments where Penny Pizzazz lives and the two vacant apartments on that floor. That's really weird because I've never had any problems with those apartments.

@HyperMan808 Are you playing on a PC or a Mac? If you are on a PC have you tried repairing your game through Origin?

    @HyperMan808 A few of us are having some discussions on the best way for you to get the elevator back in your game. One option is to use Twisted Mexi's T.O.O.L. mod which would allow you to replace the elevator while in Live mode. We'll try to get some more detailed instructions posted here as soon we can but if you'd like to look into this in the meantime here is a link for a video tutorial on the T.O.O.L. mod:

    There is one other method we are discussing that we know would work for a Mac but we want to verify it also works for Windows before I say any more on this for now.

    More to come :D

    @HyperMan808 Here are some detailed instructions on how to place a new elevator using the T.O.O.L. mod, courtesy of @Bluebellflora 

    1. Go into Build mode and place a lift in the active household's apartment anywhere, doesn't matter where. This is to get the lift back into the world.

    2. In Live mode, Shift + click on the lift > Tool > Toggle Active Object, it will highlight green, then click on the section of wall in the communal area where the lift doors would be. This should place the lift correctly in the right spot. When you are done you should have a functional elevator again.

    Good luck & if you have any questions please do ask :D
