- Fallout 4 Tips & Tricks: How to Build a Vault Elevator
A quick tutorial on how to make an elevator inside Vault 88. I originally got the idea from a guy on Twitter (@Bongon69), but it was just the idea, not a tutorial, so I figured out how to build one myself, and I think it turned out pretty nice.

they could at least make a clean version of the elevators that would fit in the vault! but i still like it ty
I wish they had dilapidated vault options so I could have abandoned wings
These really both sound like great ideas for mods...
There's a clean elevator called Institute Elevator if you have "Institute Items Unlocked" and it fits but it is a mother to get the hallways to fit. I have been doing it tonight and will finish it tomorrow hopefully.

to get it to work you need to add a vault floor to the side the conduct is on because vault energy passes through the floor
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be working for me. :-( I've got an atrium floor right next to the wall where the conduit is (which is on the same side the floor buttons are on) and I cannot get the wire to connect to the elevator at all.
yeah so iv been trying this damn glitch for over an hour now. I've tried everything an nothing works. every time I pick the wire it comes with me
Did you watch the videos I have linked in the description? They give a more detailed instruction on how to do it.
Im having the same problem:(
@@beatrizlugo3547 I was just having that problem too-if you click on her second link in her desc, watch until the end and try her last suggestion (changing the location of the power conduits). I just did it and got it to work
On the PC, first place an Atrium floor in the spot where W.D. wants you to construct the elevator. Then follow all of her instructions. It seems that the elevator's infrastructure prevents contact between the vault and the Power Conduit. So, the "Wire Glitch" technique is not the problem; it's the lack of power. BTW, use the spacebar to grab the wire.
For those not getting power to the elevator, place an atrium floor underneath your elevator. Yes it will fit :P
Thank you
Thank you, I was about to give up😭😁
thanks
It dosen't work either.
@@matiasmattera6650 place it to the side
i added an elivator to my vault as well.. realy cool i got my overseer office and workshop at the top and a secret drug lab in the basement
FBI agents are looking for u
I wish they actually added a vault elevator, but either way this is awesome and what I needed thanks for sharing
The way i did was put the conduit thing like she did on the wall and if your struggling to do the glitch, just move the wall rotate and place the wall some where random near the lift then connect the wires so they are all facing each other then simple rotate the wall backwards to the conduits is facing outwars and then is should be still connected
Amazing Idea! although there are some flaws, this includes the "call" button being covered, and any sort of roof or ceiling won't snap to the top of elevators. apart from that, it is a great idea and something that should've been added in the DLC in the first place
Templar the thing is Bethesda is truly lazy sometimes
If anyone else gets stuck on the wire glitch; so basically just pick up the wire attached to the bottom conduit, then reattach it to the conduit using the “attach wire button”, and you should be able to walk into the elevator and for some reason are still holding a wire to attach lol. It took me way too long to logic this one out so maybe this will help someone in the future 😂
Edit: I was wrong but some tinkering helped me out!
The right process is below in the replies :)
I'm stuck in this 😢
@@nicoalvarezp2 yesss I was wrong I’m so glad someone replied.
Try again but this time ignore what I said lol.
Walk up, make sure you’re just highlighting the wire, and click the attach wire button.
It might take a couple tries and your character might jump around, but eventually you’ll hear the electricity sound, then go over and attach your wire to the new structure.
I’m so sorry if I added confusion!!
@@JamiePackmule1 thanks for the reply, I'll try it and see if it works :)
Update: IT WORKED!! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!! :D
@@nicoalvarezp2 awesome, any time 👌🏻
This doesn’t work. It’s glitching through the wall but my elevator won’t power up!
Same.
mauriceh21 same
Y’all ever figure it out?
Same here
Why didn't I think if this?!? My vault is heavily inspired by your vault btw or at least what you had in the first episode rather
THANK YOU!! I've been waiting for someone to figure out how to make this work! You are my hero!
Would be awesome if the elevator was like a structure, allowing you to build and snap to it
Hiya I guess I'm 3 years late to this party 😂 I've watched the wire glitch video and have successfully attached the wire through the wall to the elevator but it's not powering up :( any suggestions on what can be done or should be done?
Have you watched my video about elevator power issues? th-cam.com/video/CIJ0tv4zk5Q/w-d-xo.html
I literally have had this same issue. Quarantine has me playing this game again as I never got this far in the past. I have the total same issue where my wire is fizzing and ready to go after the glitch- but my damn elevator still won’t power . Uggghhh
I can’t get the wire to power the elevator
I got it to go through the wall and connect but the power won’t come on
Me too
There's actually a mod that gives you actual vault elavators on xbox 1
Anybody playing on Xbox one who can’t get the wire to glitch: you need to place a floor tile underneath the elevator for it to work. This glitch wire method works once you place it.
Thanks for the video!
Playstation 4 as well
Thanks
@CyberBattie I know it’s year after you posted this comment - but I’m just now replaying fallout (quarantine boredom) and came across all this . I tried placing a floor tile underneath my 3 floor shaft - The wire glitch worked for my power in itself (I tried the external light hack and it worked ) but my wire is refusing to connect with the elevator . Any help is appreciated
@@nikkityson5987 is the elevator a mod and if so what's it called because nothing is coming up for just elevator
@@seandavies7312 its a different dlc called contraptions workshop
These vids are awesome. I can even describe the amount of failure my vault would have been without these. I am alright building random crap without vault stuff, but these door to hallway nonsense... Forget about it.
That was about how I imagined it might work.. glad to know it will click together. hate that they didn't include an actual elevator that is vault themed.
now the only problem with this design is if you actually put the doors on the doorway the door will clip through the elevator so if the elevator is on the third floor and you're on the first floor you can't get the elevator down because the door is actually clipping through the elevator button.
Yeah, I don't add the doors to mine. If you really, really want the doors, there is a call button on the other side of the elevator shaft. If the elevator is one level below you, you can just walk out onto the top of it and press the button, then run back before it starts moving. If it's two levels below you, or above you, you can jump across the shaft onto the ledge on the other side and press the button. if you stand in the middle of the ledge the elevator won't hit you as it moves to your level and you can just get on. Of course you might miss the jump and fall, lol. I'd just rather not have the door to be honest. I'll keep trying to figure out how to have both. If there's a way I'll find it, lol.
what mod/add-on has elevators?
Contraptions
Or you could just add the vault elevator mod
I am trying very hard yet it is not working I even tried switching the elevator
If you had trouble snapping your walls on after you put the atrium floor under your elevator, try getting your first wall up first, then place the floor tile under the elevator. The rest should snap to that first piece.
I recently did something similar where instead I used the Maintenance wall caps and floors to do the elevator. Also, a floor piece can be snapped into the elevator bottom.
I have a problem i don't have a option for a elevator. What should I do?
Ever figure it out. Same issue here. On ps4
TY for doing these vids on Vault 88. I suck at building in this game...too much of the "sim city" for me, but I still love the game. Even though FO4's combat AI is much improved, the building is a good added thing from just killing stuff and gathering junk to fix junk.
thus is probably a dumb question but...... how do u get the elevators :3
They come with the Contraptions DLC.
cant seem to get power to the elevator and i made it exaclty like you can someone help
There's a link to a video in the description that might help you.
I had the same problem..so i put a generator to the side of the lift and connected it lol
I cant get power even though I did it. the wire went through but power wasn't transfered... and then when I tried it in the same place she did I couldn't get it to glitch through
of course I try one more time and it works fine but I still don't understand why my other one couldn't get power
I had trouble with the PC version. I tried to use the E key to grab the wire. Nothing would catch. Then I tried the spacebar and that did the trick.
DANG I ONLY HAVE VAULT-TEC ADDON!
I HATE THIS BUT SRLY HOW YOU REC!!!
8 years later, still answering questions i NEEDED answers to. Thank you :)
I love your wonderfully clear and concise tutorials. Thank you for showing me how to save some very valuable floor space in my vault builds.
I did a very similar thing, but my NPCs won't use it, I have it going to the overseers office and she can't find the desk..
Build her some stairs until she gets up there, and then take them away. Does she ever have to leave her office if she's got her bed up there? And then just make sure you always have some stairs somewhere for npcs to use. I forgot to mention that in the video.
Yea that's what I did, I just wish the NPCs were smarter, they can steal my power armor...
I know, right?
The wire glitch doesn’t work
Brotado Chiip it doesnt
Great Video, Thanks for making it.
I will say I was unable to do the wire trick on pc version and I tried for long time.
Used 2 pieces of conduit and slipped it thru wall worked good thou small connection on outside has to show to connect wire.
Also I left door off elevator as it covers the external floor buttons on outside of elevator.
Thanks again for making it I learn lots off your vid's.
Now build those elevators people :)
Years late, and I love the videos. The wire glitch was killing me. I kept getting the wire to the elevator but no power. Finally I realized I hadn't attached a floor piece to continue the power to the wall.
Great video, Thanks 🙏
Very helpful in my vault building.
Found something New! Glass elevator w/ warehouse windows. Electric can direct connect via elevator conduit sticking through window. No wire glitch.
-Enjoy everyone.
Bless you!!!! I've so needed this, and you taught me a couple tricks I didn't know existed too!!! THANKS!!!
Fantastic! Now if only I could get my fucking idiot vault dwellers to leave the corner of my Atrium.
thanks for the video series building the vault would have been impossible without them. Currently have the base structure & a nice workshop for myself overseer can wait lol
I couldn't get mine to snap
*HEAD'S UP!!* ⚠️
You probably don't want to build an elevator. The buttons bug out and you'll end up rebuilding your whole damn vault.
Your the best at explaining things and my new favourite fallout builder :)
Subscribed. Huge thank you for this. I wish I was able to build an underground vault elsewhere (other than Vault 88). Such as beneath the Castle or right next to it, and it just leads up into the Castle somehow. But I believe I can build the Vault pieces up above. Thank you again for this :D.
good tips. Going to try and add a rug or something to that immersion breaking elevator. Not your fault, game just left us worst options available with elevators it seems lol
Wire glitch isn't working on my laptop, anyone else having problems?
Thank you soooooo much for this! I watched it a long while ago but never thanked you, so now I am. I used this in my vault 88 build (a couple of times as my vault build is like the entire area).
I’m having trouble getting power to the overseers office now that it’s not connected via floor. The elevator has power and I was able to get that by adding a floor piece under it, as other suggested. But only the very most near corner of the overseers office has power now.
Okay so what am I doing wrong? Finally did the wire glitch and no power to the elevator. Got lights all around the elevator and it's still not working.
Bruh you gotta show people where tf you are. You're like yeah elevator shaft.. here! With no surroundings or anything. I'm lost lady 😂
well the wires kinda bit having little trouble.. but yea i made it , i figure it out by put a few conduit inside the room so the wires goes around the elevator and it works ...thanks a lot !!!
I have trouble with the door frame blocking the elevator call button to bring it down to your level. I just leave the frame off.
Bethesda really needs to hire gamers to playtest their stuff. It's VERY annoying to have to stick floors and columns everywhere to get things to snap.
Strange....here it is showing that one tile equals one floor...but on the blueprint it says on level equals TWO tiles.....that’s kinda BS.
Great build but just an FYI settlers won't use elevators for some Damm reason so while then look nice it's only for personal use. Settlers can still get to shops or whatever there assigned to but they'll teleport to the spot instead of using the elevator.
I find this super useful personally, because I get so damn tired of settlers wandering into my personal space like the overseer office.
When I press attach wire the sparkling cable just stays red over everything and won't connect?
I got it eventually! U need to be looking away from the wire but still have it highlighted, well thats what worked for me
you get a shovel get some steel, copper cables, gears, buttons, lightbulbs, wood, and a bunch of other shit. Or you just download the Build your own Vault Mod.
You should also mention NEVER fast travel around your settlement that has an elevator cause sometimes your buttons will appear above your elevator .
Harder than it should've been ill stick with the stairs and be the "fitness overseer"
I keep have to rewatch because my old brain is crappy.
thanks for the idea , sick of having to put stairs and now that i think about it , im surprised i never thought of this kind of thing and keep up the good videos.
I FIGURED IT OUT ok but now I need to know how you are getting your power because it's not doing that for mine
how do you do that zoom in and out with the building objects im trying to figure out how you did that
same
when I got rid of the room from the security door, all the power stopped working
that's cool i haven't used the elevators yet looks like i'll finely get some use out of em.
Grabbing the cable doesn't work for me

cute. I just wish companions weren't allergic to elevators.
my inner corner mid walls wont snap to the atrium wall mid ive tried all angles and it wont snap right
i can't get the elevator to snap to any of the vault build items, must have a mod that screws that up :/ makes the job infinite harder to build the darn elevator. anyways still a nice vid :D, subbed to your channel, if you keep that calm and nice clear voice and this type of video's going i'm happy.
The elevator won't snap to the bottom atrium pieces. So you need to add a atrium floor, snap the elevator and then add the atrium doorway.
my elevator button floor disapears...
Can you say, "MODPOS?" I knew you could.
How the fuck do you move objects closer and further like that?!
I'm sorry but this doesn't work. I've tried it over and over and I did everything you did.
Sooooo how do you press the button on the outside of the elevator to call for it? The door ways always block them 😔
But how do you call the elevator from a floor when it's waiting at a different floor?
i love you! thank you so much for this i initially had one on the outer perimeter of my atrium that i used only to get to the top where i had placed my reactor this is much more practical and nicer thanks again
You don't make the elevator it's already made you just need a high enough floor for them it either goes up at two floors or three
It’s connecting but the electricity isn’t passing through to the elevator
Don't have contraption dlc hmm stairs I guess
I'm doing this but it's not powering my elevator
Superb ! I never thought of that , Now I can ditch a LOT of the stairways in my vault . Thank you :)
Just be sure to leave enough stairways for the npcs to get around. Because I'm not sure if they can use the elevators. I don't know a whole lot about the elevators to be honest. I've never used them until now.
+Wasteland Dovahkiin no sadly npcs don't use elevators and this way of getting around is best for something like yeah the overseers quarters so then it stops npcs from getting in making the area seem more personal
I've heard npcs can't use elevators, or anything else requiring the pushing of a button, but I've found Clem in my Overseer's office twice now already!
Probably spawning in there. He likes you, a lot, lol.
they use the dlc elevator but not the moded one so if you want a place secure use the moded one
Oddly the wire trick worked but had to put a flloor by the elevator to get power to work
The glitch dosen't work anymore at least not in PC
The wire glitch did not work for me. I did find another way to do it but it looks a bit funny
It'd be nice if the elevators weren't so dang glitchy
Do NPCs use elevators if there are no stairs? Or do they just take the shortest route to their destination?
I had to build a generator (quiet one) to get the elevator working :/
I have no power...!! Why? It says 150..
How was she getting power to the conduit’s without a generator
I cant do the wire glitch
When I do the glitch it highlights my power red can you help?
Can confirm the wire glitch still works
Wire glitch isn't working for me
I cant get the elevator to snap to the doorway
I tried to build my office today in the same area. Mine took up more space than yours. You got it to fit exactly where I wanted it. Mine goes over the wall where the room leading to my elevator is.
The wire glitch isn't working for me :(
how do you get your objects to move around without you moving
won't snap in to fit right with the door unfortunately so I can't use it
im super late but thank you so much for this!!
