Elevated to a new level of fury!

Elevators! Yes, those Maxis ones we were given in 'Open For Business'. They're fine as they go - for everyone who makes smart homes. But not for me, and not for people who like the things I like.

So, on behalf of us gutter-dwellers who download the lowest of the low (yes, I'm prattling on about my Urban Renewal series YET AGAIN!), I set about making some suitable elevators...

I had originally planned recolouring the whole thing: the ceiling lighting, the buttons, the floor - these as well as the doors and panels (of course), and that meant cloning a Maxis elevator rather than simply creating recolours.

Alas, cloned elevators don't work. A moment's silence please whilst you all contemplate the total fury THAT caused me. I mean: they look pretty enough, but they're totally unusable by stupid Sims who just stamp and moan outside them. I happily failed my way through several attempts this last weekend, and to show for it, I have the grand total of ZERO working clones.

So, I'm afraid that my purest urbanites amongst you will have to swallow your pride and your tears and try instead to enjoy the new grunge lift doors and wall recolours I've made for your BAAAD lots - and try not to pay too much attention to the unbefitting marble floor, gleaming light and other uncolourable entities. Though I'm sure each time I see them, I shall emit a low growling sound...
