This tutorial is for The Sims 3: Into the Future only.

There is a glitch that Plumbots cannot age up using the birthday cake but they can either aged up by activating the cheat testingcheatsenabled true, shift-click the plumbot that you wish to age up, and click "Trigger Age Transition" or a message shows that it's their birthday. However, once they are aged up, although they don't die but rather they will become invisible (See the screencaps to the right). This is harmless in your game however it is not recommended to do this action.

This tutorial will help you on how to restore your glitchy invisible Plumbot.

How to restore your Plumbot
'''Step 1. Click Customize Plumbot (or Self)'''

Either a Sim will customize their Plumbot or Plumbot will customize themselves. The price is much the same. Just wait until the Create-a-Bot loading screen will appear. Plumbots with hover bottom or selecting them are easily identify.

Method 1
'''Step 2. Click the Pre-made Plumbots icon'''

Even you are trying to re-customize your Plumbot, there is no way to re-customize them for the thumbmails are empty.

Once you clicked the icon, you will see pre-made male and female plumbots. This includes your Create-a-Bot Plumbot. In this method, if you don't like you plumbot then pick one of the pre-made plumbots you prefer.

Or if you still want to prefer or missed your own, click any of the pre-made plumbots and customize it. You will notice the thumbnails are reappear.

'''Step 3. Exit the CAB''' Once you are done picking or customize, click accept (the check button) and exit the CAB. But before that, name your plumbot and select its voice. After the glitch occurs, it seems that it has been reset.

Method 2
'''Step 2. Click the Pre-made Plumbots icon'''

Even you are trying to re-customize your Plumbot, there is no way to re-customize them for the thumbmails are empty.

(picture here)

Once you clicked the icon, you will see pre-made male and female plumbots. This includes your Create-a-Bot Plumbot. In this method, take a note that before your Sim has been glitched, make sure you pressed "Save Sim" at the bottom, an icon with a plumbot (or empty) thumbnail (See picture to the right).

(picture right)

At the pre-made plumbots, you will see a small symbol pointed at the upper-right of it. That's called the "custom content". Click it and you will see your CAB plumbot. Click that plumbot.

'''Step 3. Exit the CAB'''

Once you are done, click accept (the check button) and exit the CAB. But before that, name your plumbot and select its voice. Again, after the glitch occurs, it seems that it has been reset.

Afterwords
You can do this tutorial when you accidentally click the trigger age transition at the plumbot or just for fun. However, again, it is not recommended to do this kind of action through your Plumbot
