Disappointment - No Elevators in Build Mode in City Living.

According @SimGuruEugi , apparently, the elevators are NOT available in build mode. Let's think together, if there are no elevators in build mode, it's very possible that there's not the possibility of using them in homes up to 5 floors or less. If this really is confirmed, basically another resource that the community is asking and they had the perfect opportunity to add, but don't has added.
The Sims 2 had functional elevators in build mode. The Sims 3 had functional elevators in build mode. The Sims 4, as always, is missing something.
Honestly, I don't know if this is an expansion pack or a limitation pack.

The worst part is that in The Sims 3 also you could not build a real apartment building, and even this way, had elevators.
The term "Limited Edition" takes a whole new meaning in The Sims 4.

What actually surprises me is that the devs even manage to get the people that were positive before angry. In the beginning we got a full list of expectations and right now we are in the middle of lining out every feature that was wanted by the community but left out by the devs. I am really surprised how this pack has not been made and shaped by the opinions and feedback of the community. So much for proper game development. I'm not sure if there is a saying in English like the one in my language: Customer is king. #gamestudio101 #communication #wearethecustomers.
Im expecting them to turn around and say its too difficult to make animations.
Sadly I think so too... (Wow, I'm really not used to myself being such a Negative Nelly, but I'm just so disappointed...)
wow, more sad information about this EP. Thanks for screwing up this game EA! This is getting ridiculous and more disappointing as the EP approaches!
They could add them as build objects in Universities since it will also come with apartments and dorms so maybe they will.
My Mood:
Why is it so? If I want a mansión with three stories and I want to place an elevator in it and I can´t, what has this to do with building an apartment building?
What is this about not being able to build apartment buildings in TS3? I´ve built hundreds (not kidding but really)... I´m playing now in a custom world (Versailles) not my own, though it was unfinished and I have finished it, where almost all the lots are custom apartment buildings (if not almost all at least the majority of them)
Or this other one by Nilxis "Barcelona", where every residential lot is an apartment building but three and a couple of boathouses
We can build apartments in TS3, we can customize everything in TS3, we can edit the world or even créate one from scratch in TS3, all the "we cannot so and so and so..." are from TS4
We can´t build apartments in TS4 we can´t even place the premades by EA in other worlds just play them in the new one, OMG that has ruinned this EP for me!
I can play at last TS2 TS3 and TS4 So great that toddlers are here!!!
SimGuruEugi didn't mention whether or not sims would be able to interact with the elevator, so there's still hope for placement and use of elevators in other worlds. The objects which are referenced within the world data are no different from those which are listed within the build/buy catalog, therefore, if a functional instance can be created then we should be able to use it anywhere. The references within the world data only serve to ensure that the class and location of the objects remain persistent, and to reduce consumption of memory and CPU bandwidth for collections of objects which should not be treated as manageable in live mode.
There's still hope so be patient.
I was hoping to build an apartment like the ones we could in TS2.
They really are messing this up.
This lack of control as been a problem with each pack from the sims4
I was expecting
New staircases
Elevators
Intercom for in/out of apartment
Apartment doors
Trash shut
Still like the pack but yeah this still lack of control is making a bigger problem up each pack.
It's like that ain't got any tools for us to work woth anymore.
Why are they not giving us the tools anymore
They took the time to create an elevator, and implement it into the game but they didn't make it an object we could use. Instead they suggest modders might be able to do something with it, but fail to acknowledge that they chose not to do that work themselves for a product we are expected to pay for.
This game isn't free. The DLC for this game isnt free, and for this being the top tier DLC I find it absolutely disgusting that they feel they can leave out elements and then casually suggest that *maybe* modders can work with it.
Don't even get me started with the "this is city living not apartment making EP" - that is the most ignorant, disrespectful thing I have ever heard. TS2 Apartment life wasn't about making an apartment either, but they made the OPTIONS to do so available in the game instead of throwing out some lazy, half baked excuse as to why they can't deliver a quality product.
