so dormies don't use the elevators with this fix?

Dormies will effectively make use of elevators when available with this fix.

Does this fix the leaving at 2am because they think they are guests or is this a different problem?

Please feel free to use/clone/copy/share anything I have made in whatever manner you wish. Have fun!

Hmmm... I'm curious. I've used an elevator in a dorm since OFB was released and never experienced such a problem!

OH THANK GOODNESS! *hugs dizzy2*
That bug was driving me crazy. All my dormies kept leaving, I couldn't stand to play my dorm with an elevator but now I can!
*hugs dizzy2 again*

Although... will this still work after Pets or will we have to wait until that's released to see if it does or not?

My mind never wanders, it packs it's backpack, puts on it's boots and goes on a mountain hike.

I'm going out on a limb and saying this will likely still be a bug in Pets (although you will still need Uni and OfB installed to notice this problem).

I had forgot to even add elevators to my dorms after they came out until I saw this fix. Thanks.

You just stack elevators, one floor directly on top of the others. At that point, sims automatically use them unless stairs are closer.

Thank you very much for this fix. Now I can have a smooth flowing dorm.

Some of my dormies use the elevator up to their rooms, stand a moment before their door, then just use the elevator AGAIN back downstairs and leave the lot - just to come back few moments later and repeat the procedure many times. Very funny to see, but there has to be and end to it some time.
I'm not sure what your fix does, but I guess it's against a different issue? Anyway, I give it a try.

Same as 1, but Password request didn't work

Thank you thank you thank you! I've recently put a lift into a dorm and I'm getting sick of the dormies thinking they are guests and leaving during the night just to come back a few minutes later.

I might be stating the obvious, but will there be a Seasons version of this fix (if necessary)?

Once again this hasn't been fixed in Seasons, but the code appears to be the same as what is used in Pets. Ergo, you *should* be able to use the Pets version for Seasons, but I haven't tested it yet.

EDIT: Tested and confirmed. This hack still works and is required in Seasons if you have Uni+OfB and elevators in your dorms.

Yeah, it works perfectly in Seasons. Thanks!

Dormies use elevators in my dorms all the time, in fact they never use the stairs
