Does anyone know if theres speculation that we'll have elevators? I don't really want to build a four floor walk up :s

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.

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.

It's on a 64x64 and I still have a lot of space for outdoor greenery! yikesThey will need to teleport or leave early.

Elevators would be useful. I know of a few 3 or 4 story buildings without elevators and we can't build any higher. But most apartments with 2 or 3 floors have one."DeadFishy;c-18326007" wrote:I didn't even think of how long it would take them to get out of the building to get to work.

A cheat to build higher? Never heard of that one before.

no- there is a limit.
I have dropped a room on a 4th floor from the gallery with luck but It was hard to do anything with it. @Atreya33

That's what I thought as well. I just wanted to ask because @Freckles1971 mentions a cheat for it.

If they don't and you can (or want to) use mods - https://ravasheen.com/download/uplifting-elevators/

^That looks like a good mod, I personally haven't tried it though.^

----------

As @Atreya33 mentioned, the "Realm of Magic" portals would work. This excellent mod uses that teleporter coding to make functional elevators. It's not that difficult to figure out. I've made both elevators and "beaming transporters", (like in star trek) using this mod. B)

It'll be interesting to see how long it takes our sims to go down 4 flights of stairs to get outside...

Nothing was said about elevators.

So far elevators in sims 4 are only used in apartments and penthouse lots. We obviously can't use apartments with the new pack. but now that the team has confirmed that they won't let us use penthouses for the new lot type there is no reason to add elevators in the for rent pack. Unfortunately.

Hopefully we'll get some functioning elevators in a Hotels Pack.

Let's hope so. I'd love to get a hotels pack

that’s what i was thinking too, functional elevators might be a “feature” they’re waiting to use for hotels
