Servo

A Servo is a robot that was introduced in Livin' Large. the name possibly refers to "servus", which is latin for slave.

The Sims
Servos are bought at the cost of a whopping §15,000, but will walk around the house cleaning up messes and repairing broken items, so Sims don't have to. Servos will also do gardening, but appear to do so on the gardener's every-three-days schedule. A Servo that has nothing else to do may attempt to converse with or entertain visitors. A Servo can be told to make a group meal for your Sims. Since Servo literally makes the food, without using a fridge or stove, these meals aren't very fulfilling, but they are free, and a child can tell Servo to make food.

Servo comes with its own charging chamber, and will return to it and turn itself off when it has nothing more to do. Servo's charging chamber also has the control panel that's used to turn it on, and can be used to turn it off or tell it to serve food.

The Sims 2
When The Sims 2: Open for Business Expansion Pack came out, he returned with many upgrades including: complete control, relationships, female versions, being able to "WooHoo", having the needs, etc.

Building
To build a Servo you need a Robot Crafting Station and a Gold Talent Badge in Robotics.

Spawn Servo Cheat
You can Also Unlock the Servo by using the boolprop testingcheatsenabled true and shift left clicking on any of your Sims and click Spawn/More and then Click Servo.

Activation
When built, Servo is switched off and can be activated by any Sim. The gender of Servo can be decided upon activation. The servo takes on the personality of the Sim who activates it.

Features
Servo comes with 10 points in Cooking, Mechanical and Cleaning. Servo also comes with a random Gold Talent badge and has all other skill points of the person that activated it. It also takes on the aspiration, turn ons and turn offs and personality of the person that activates it.

Needs
Servo has only 4 Needs: Power, Social, Fun and Environment. Power can be restored either through Recharging, which Servo goes under the sun to recharge or he can sleep to recharge it at the same pace a Sim replenishes their energy.

Dangers
Water to Servo is like fire to Sims except the effects are much more. Water will drain all of Servo's needs extremely fast, especially Power. When broken, Servo will run amok and cause havoc. Nearby Sims can be electrocuted by Servo at this time. Eventually he will power down, allowing someone to repair him. If nobody is on the lot at that time the repairman will automatically come to repair the broken Servo.

Other life states
Servos can be combined with the Vampire, Zombie, Werewolf, and Witch life states. Vampire Servos rapidly lose power in sunlight, and recharge in coffins (or beds, if none are available).

Age/Relationships
Servos never age and thus can live with a family for generations. They can be de-activated making them un-playable. Like human Sims they can fall in love and marry to other Servos and even human Sims they can not reproduce but they can adopt and become parents and even get jobs.

Player Tips

 * Servos needs are little and easy to deal with, so its better to start a business with them.--Touen 20:09, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Servos never age, so they can live forever. It is a good idea to create a Servo to watch over the family for generations if you plan on making a legacy family or a big family.
