SimBot

An inventor and SimBot in The Sims 3: Ambitions.

There are two primary methods for gaining a SimBot: buying it or building it.

My Best Friend lifetime reward

If a Sim earns 40,000 lifetime reward points, they can then summon a new SimBot who will automatically have best friend relationship status with the summoning Sim. This method is useful if the player does not want to spend the huge amount of time it takes to invent it. These bought SimBots have a rusty appearance. Bought Simbots are usually male, very rarely female, and there are reports that these SimBots do not live as long as invented ones. [confirmation needed]

Invention

SimBots can be built using the inventing skill, after reaching level 10 and completing an opportunity chain.

At some point after reaching level 10, the inventor will receive an opportunity to build their first SimBot. This requires the following materials:

Item Where to get it
1 unit of palladium

(ore or smelted)

Found on the ground in the base neighborhood. Can be mined using a miner
10 life fruits Need level 7 on gardening skill for sim to be able to plant and harvest this fruit.
1 heart-shaped cut pink diamond
  • Raw pink diamonds are extraordinarily unusual gems found in the base neighborhood or from mining with the miner invention and the heart-shaped cut is from finding 10 different types of gems.
  • Pink diamonds already cut can also sometimes be bought at the consignment store.
  • Pink diamonds are strangely common from breaking space rocks on a Board Breaker.
100 units of scrap.
  • Find it at the junkyard by digging or detonate one of the junk piles there.
  • Detonate any object (more expensive the object price, more scrap you will get).
  • Buy it at the Scraptastic™ Workbench for §550.
  • Can be mined using a miner.
  • Completing an opportunity.

SimBots take a very long time to construct, although they can be constructed in a single day by a dedicated inventor. There is no option to select the gender of this initial SimBot. After the opportunity is complete, the inventor can continue to build more SimBots (as long as they have the required materials), and may choose the gender of additional SimBots when beginning the construction.

Invented SimBots are classed as the inventor's children in the family tree with a single parent. Any children of the inventor will become the SimBot's half-siblings. Invented SimBots have nicer chassis than the ones bought for lifetime reward points.
