You could just get a dragon to fly your furniture up for you. Get the best of both worlds.

She would have absolutely loved this! She has a collection of dragons :D

In reality, she hired movers.

My real-life daughter lives on the fourth floor in a four-floor walk-up. She gets a rent discount compared to lower floors. That should be a thing.

Whoa I should have asked for that back in the day @luthienrising !

This discussion is taking me back to some of my TS2 university sims who would spend their whole class period walking across the dorm to leave for class!

I think if there were elevators, they would have shown them in the trailer in some way. I'm going to guess they're not included.

They may be saving that for the Livestream. Even if there are no new ones the City Living elevators will work.

They don't work as elevators and you can only have one on the lot.

That reminds me when my brother last year and his wife help me moved out of a college dorm .The stairs were four flights and well it was torture.

I lived once in a 5 story walk up. I wish it on no one. I had a friend who lived in a 7 story walk up.
I build a lot of housing complex when I first started playing but I was not shy to used mods. Ravasheen has elevators. https://ravasheen.com/download/uplifting-elevators/

Alternatively, I saw a streamer on twitch, Pugowned, who made an "elevator shoot" without cc. Not sure if she put it up on the gallery, but it was basically a small elevator size room, with debuged items. It looked like an official elevator, but once you get in you would go up with ladder. I dont know how that works with groceries, but it's nice so you can build more an more modern style building complex, if that's what you like.

I'm building fake elevators (+stairs) on my lots because I doubt there will be working ones in game. If there are real working ones I'll add them when we get the pack, and when I play myself I'll likely add the modded ones, but I generally never share modded content. I do quite like the look of the ones I've made so far though.

I am 4th floor apartment and our elevator is usually not working so have to use stairs. Luckily I can still do that although coming up is a bit slow now. Thank goodness when i moved in it was working as I have a piano.

Old photos of big cities showing them having to physically hoist a piano up to those walkups/fire escape entrances are crazy scary. Good thing our sims wont have that problem. :-)

We once did that for my sister's sofa, but at least it was only to the 2nd floor! There's a reason Victorian sofas weren't as big as a lot of modern ones, it turns out. Don't fit up the stairs.

LOL @ the friends gif

That was my bestie girlfriend and I when we were 18 years old and I was helping her move into her first apartment on the 3rd floor of a three-story walkup (cheaper rent). The two of us lugged everything up those dang tight-cornered back stairwells in her apartment building.... her hand-me-down granny couch weighed a ton because it had a foldout bed built inside of it. Needless to say, we treated ourselves to plenty of beer and pizza at the end of it all.

Good times. :D
