THIS IS SOOOOOOOOO NICE, definitely better than shaklin's!!! Thanks for this!!!

Bloody BRILLANT!!!! I am amazed at the work you did! I could never do this myself!

Just what I have been looking for thanks

wow thank u very much..i now can get rid of all those staircases in my homes..again thank you.

Thank you!

Yay! Thanx!

hi, how to tell my simmies to go up elevator? i tried clicking on the elevator and my simmies go to it....and just stand.

however when they do their own things, they managed to go to elevator and teleport to other floors WITHOUT me doing for them.

i'm puzzled!

thank you sooooooo much, this is what I wanted sience day one when sims2 was out

i made some re-colours! it wasn't that hard to see where the textures go :D

Ooh thankies thankies! *hugs*

Super Fantastico and all that stuff. Thank you.

You are marvellous, and your works useful and unforgettable.....!!!!!! :nod:

Very cool indeed... thanks. :salute:

I had already downloaded Shaklins elevator but hadnt got around to doing anything with it because I could not get the tutorial that came with it because of download probs. sooooooo thank you for putting this one here,where I can get it, in a form I can get quite readily. I will most definatly put it in my things to keep basket and go play with it.

wow, that is so neat!!!!!!

This is totally Great! I had to announce this on my groups, because keeping good finds to yourself is not nice! LOL
I have been waiting for this. I hate those darn stairs that are so huge and you practically have to build a room around. This is so perfect for me. Thanks for figuring it out and for making it only one tile.
I cannot wait to try it out!

Oh, and GO WHITE SOX!!!!!

How do we get those recolors Tornado?

after an average of 150 hours designing, creating and preparing a lot for upload and then typing up a list of credits with links for all files and taking pics etc.....and now you expect uploaders in addition to type out a detailed description of where exactly it is to be placed along with the link redirecting them back to this thread and expect the downloaders to go hunt down this object and install it hopefully in the proper place? I'd rather not thanx.

Love this thing!!!
Thank you!!!
im bored of stairs!!!

targa your super thank you so much i love this

Like any other game stairs, the Sims use it on their own and there are no pie menu commands to "go use the stairs".



After an average of 250 hours of working on stairs and learning the many various things I needed to learn to bring this object to the Sims 2 Community, the least that people can do is come visit my thread to get my object. I think that's a fair request. As for "typing out a detailed description of where exactly it is to be placed", you don't need to do that as far as I know. The user installs the custom objects, installs your lot, and everything is right where it should be. Also, your comment is redundant so I don't understand the problem with "After...typing up a list of credits with links for all the files .... now you expect in addition ...to provide a link back to this thread" (you just said you already did that).

Also, having the user browse to the original thread for downloading a custom object allows them the opportunity to read about the object, as well as read any important instructions or warnings as far as use/placement/compatibility/etc...

As for the recolors, I've asked Tornado to hold off on those to prevent confusion. I'm releasing a recolorable version today that has much more user-friendly texture mapping, and I will also be providing a UVW map template for the recolorers.

Targa - you have been on fire lately. Your mods rock and I am so in love with you.
I can hardly wait for the glass recolor - thanks 100 times!

because of having to save the lot seperately from the contents due to file size when packaging, the custom objects do not show up automatically.

OK, someone's going to need to explain this to me, because I don't know anything about making lots and packaging them. It sounds to me like you're saying that you save your lot w/o custom content, because it makes the filesize too big? It's my understanding (now, thanks to a PM from Greenlea), that when you package a lot that contains custom objects, the game doesn't even ask if you want to include the custom objects, it simply automatically includes them in the lot package, is this true? How do you then remove the custom content?

My understanding (or rather lack thereof) was as I stated earlier, that you could simply package the lot and point people to the objects/custom content. If this means that there is no object placement, and therefore doing it this way "messes up" your house, and it also makes it a pain to package, since the game includes custom content in the file, I will consider re-thinking my policy. My intent was not to purposely create hassles for lot-builders. So... could someone explain this in detail? Thanks!

shaklin's elevator is also warp-stackable with moveobjects, which I have often used.
