Energy: Difference between revisions

While Sims will not [[death|die]] from exhaustion, thoughthey can [[Drowning|drown]] if they become extremely tired while in a pool, they can [[Drowning|drownswimming pool]]. They will normally get out of the pool autonomously before this happens unless they are prevented from doing so, such as by removing the pool ladder.

For [[Servo]]s{{Vgversion|TS2:OFB}}, the equivalent of Energyenergy is '''Power'''. Servos can replenish this by sleeping or napping, the same as Sims can. If it's daylight, they can use the "Recharge" self-interaction to go outside and stand in the sun until their Powerpower is replenished. If they are in gold or platinum [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]], they can also restore their Powerpower by using [[The Eclectic and Enigmatic Energizer]] or drinking the [[Elixir of Life]]. If the Powerpower need gets too low, a Servo will either go outside to recharge, or go berserk and require repairs by a Sim with high [[Mechanicalmechanical]] skill, preferably one with a gold [[talent badge]] in [[Roboticsrobotics]].

For [[PlantSim]]s{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}, the need for sunlight has many aspects of the Energyenergy motive. If a PlantSim's Sunlightsunlight need becomes too low during the day, the PlantSim will go outside to be in the sun. If the Sunlightsunlight need becomes critically low at night, the PlantSim will go outside and collapse, and will revive after dawn the next day.

|The MaxMotives cheat will not restore a Servo's Powerpower motive or a PlantSim's Sunlightsunlight motive.

For [[SimBot]]s{{Vgversion|TS3:A}}, the equivalent of Energyenergy is '''Charge'''. SimBots recharge while sleeping, but can also recharge if they get electrocuted.

Mummies{{Vgversion|TS3:WA}} do not have an Energyenergy motive at all, but move very slowly.

At night, a [[Vampire (The Sims 3)|vampire's]]{{Vgversion|TS3:LN}} Energyenergy decays much much slower between 6:00 pm (18:00) and 6:00 am (6:00).

For [[Alien#The Sims 3: Seasons|Aliens]]{{Vgversion|TS3:S}}, Energyenergy is replaced with '''Brain Power''' when they become teens.

For [[Plumbotplumbot]]s{{Vgversion|TS3:ITF}}, the equivalent of Energyenergy is '''Battery Power'''. A Plumbotplumbot recharging station is available in Buy mode, and Plumbotsplumbots will recharge while shutturned downoff. Charging at a recharging station does not appear to be that pleasant however., Theas Plumbotthe plumbot will repeatedly twitch and sometimes bend down and put its hand to the side of its head as if in pain while charging. If a Plumbotplumbot's Batterybattery Powerpower is completely drained, it will shut down. A Plumbotplumbot with the [[Solar Powered]] [[Plumbot#Trait Chips|trait chip]] will gain Batterybattery Powerpower while outdoors in daylight. Unlike Servos, Plumbotsplumbots can remain active while using solar power, but the chip may not always provide enough power to completely offset the power drain caused by whatever the bot is doing. Plumbots can syphon power from appliances, but at a cost to their Maintenancemaintenance need.

For [[Vampirevampire]]s ,{{Vgversion|TS4:V}}, the equivalent of Energyenergy is '''Vampire Energy,'''. Vampires recharge Vampirevampire Energyenergy by sleeping in a normal bed, sleeping in a [[coffin]], or dark meditating. Vampire Energyenergy is also used for Vampire[[vampire Powerspowers]].
