Well I have looked and looked and didnt find an answer to this question so I hope at least someone will be able to tell me whats wrong! I put an elevator in my mall. It wouldnt work and I tried everything I could think of so I came online and found a site that showed you how to put an elevator in right. Well I tried the way it showed to do it, by putting an elevator on the bottom floor and the top in the same place and it still wont work. My man just throws a fit and has some little blue dots in his bubble that look like water drops and he wont use the elevator. There is nothing blocking it and I have no clue what it wrong! Ive tried other spots in my mall and none of them work. Anyone know whats wrong??

Oh and another thing I have a question about is how can you make bread for your bakery? I saw it on a website that they had bread loaves in their bakery but I wasnt sure if it was just a download or you really could make them.


And another question, sorry OFB has me confused to no end! If you have a home business how do you keep them out of your fridge and out of your things except the room you are selling things in?

Uh one more...How do I turn on servo it wont let me do anything with him...

Okay I believe thats all...The first question is just the one I am most concerned because I would really like to use the elevator in my mall! Thank you so much in advance anyone who can help!

1) Make sure you have moveobjects off and also objects snapped to grid. Make sure you don't have anything blocking the entrance or exit of the elevator. You should have floor tiles on the upper floors to correctly place the elevator.
2) The bread must be a custom object, there are many sites with decorative food items.
3) Click on the doors and lock them.
4) You can only activate a servo on a residential lot. If you still cannot activate him try it with your downloads removed.

Okay great! Those were all simple except the elevator. Both move objects and snap objects to grid were both untouched I hadnt messed with either. The elevator places perfectly and it even says go to this floor when I click it but then it just qeues out of action when he reaches the elevator. I have no idea why its doing this. I guess I will just keep using stairs and hope that the next lot I try it on it will work...Thank you for your help.

It's worth trying it with your downloads folder removed, in case something is conflicting. It's also worth trying with the testing cheats enabled, you may get an error which helps you.
