Elevator Shaft

Could someone please tell me where the shafts are.

I want to place an elevator in my Sim's home.

I know people are going to say it isn't possible and only on apartments, but I have done it before but I removed the elevator and now I want it back.

I know it's possible because I had one. Now it seems that only the elevators show in buy mode and the shafts are nowhere to be seen.

Or was it originally a bug that allowed me to place them?

Thanks,
Michael.
  • There are no elevator shafts like in previous versions of the Sims. You have to create your own (2x2 tile) elevator shaft and place an elevator in it. I believe you need to switch the lot category to Apartments in order to access the elevators. After placing it, you can switch back to Residential and the elevator should still be there. ? I hope this is correct, if not, someone please correct me.
  • Not only there is no elevator shaft, but you can only place on elevator per lot. They are not really functional elevators, just spawn points for paparazzi (at least that's what they spawned when I placed them on one of my lots).

    I see elevators popping up whenever I go to lot specific category in Generic lot.
    So try clicking on the magnifying glass.
  • Thanks for the info guys.

    I do remember placing shafts and then elevators on this specific home lot. Maybe I used a mod or something.

    Thanks anyway.
  • There are CC elevators
