Since [[Oasis Landing]] is set in a future world, relative to the other worlds in [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]], they can be considered as the successors of [[Servo#The Sims 2|Servos]] and [[SimBot]]s.

A Plumbot can gain [[Lifetime happiness|Lifetime Happiness]] points from high Mood if the Simulated Emotions or Sentience trait chips are installed.<ref>[http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/intothefuture/traitchips.php The Sims 3 Into the Future: Trait Chips] at Carl's Sims 3 Guide.</ref> They may also have wishes, even without specific trait chips, which can be promised and fulfilled for happiness as normal.
In the Q&A on July 30, 2013, it was mentioned that Plumbots do not age, but can have accidents. It was implied that Plumbots that are kept maintained will [[Immortality|last indefinitely]],<ref name="730LiveChat" /> which is true, as a Plumbot can only die by being crushed by a meteor or falling from the sky. A bug causes some Plumbots to actually have a birthday and age up, causing their bodies to disappear. A guide for restoring them if this happens is [[Game guide:Restoring an invisible plumbot|here]].
===Robot Quality===
Line 68:

Plumbots have a quality rating that ranges from 0 to 10. Skilled bot-builders can increase a Plumbot's quality by tuning it up or by upgrading its trait chip slots. Increasing a Plumbot's quality increases the amount it can be sold for, and higher quality Plumbots lose Battery Power and Maintenance more slowly.
A Plumbot is unable to increase its own quality level, though with sufficient skill in Bot Building, it is able to randomly increase the quality of other Plumbots just as a normal Sim can.

====Maintenance====
Unlike Servos and [[SimBot]]s, Plumbots will require maintenance. The quality of a Plumbot affects how fast this decays (the higher the quality the slower it decays). If a Plumbot's maintenance bar is empty, it will begin to malfunction. Plumbots are able to maintain themselves.<ref name="730LiveChat" /> When a Sim or Plumbot with a medium or high Bot Building skill tunes a Plumbot, its quality may rise. The Plumbot's quality can only increase if it was lower than the tuner's Bot Building skill. A Plumbot that accrues 15,000 Lifetime Happiness Points can purchase the ''Maintenance Master'' reward, which

The announce trailer suggested that it would be possible to create Plumbots inside a special machine. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3H-Y9zYafQ live broadcast] from July 30, 2013 indicated that clicking on the machine would allow the player to enter Create a Bot, which is similar to [[Create a Sim#The Sims 3|Create a Sim]], but oriented toward building robots.
This machine is '''[[Reventlov's Bot Workshop]]'''. It can be purchased in [[Buy mode]] for §1,750. In addition, the Bot Emporium in [[Oasis Landing]] has a Bot Workshop that Sims can use. Access to Create a Bot requires at least level 2 of Bot Building skill, and is not free. Creating a Plumbot costs §250, and customizing an existing Plumbot costs §100.<ref>[http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/skills/intothefuture/botmaking/ The Sims 3 Into the Future: Bot Making] at Carl's Sims 3 Guide</ref> Create a Bot
Create a Bot allows the player to customize the Plumbot by choosing a head, body, arms, and legs. The player can color the parts with [[Create a Style]]. There is a "randomize" button, as there is in Create a Sim.
Line 125 ⟶ 127:
===Legs===
The player can choose legs or a hover bottom from the collection. The legs is used for walking and running while hover bottom is used for floating in the air, however the movements are much more like the legs. The color and pattern of the parts can be chosen by the player with the Create a Style tool.

*Some of the parts are from Servo in ''The Sims 2: Open for Business''.
*Plumbots' voices are just like regular Sim voices, but robotized.
*One of the Plumbot heads looks similar to a [[w:c:masseffect:Geth|Geth]] head. This could be a possible reference to another game published by EA, ''[[wikipedia:Mass Effect|Mass Effect]]''.
**Another head looks like [[w:c:masseffect:EDI|EDI]], from the same game.
*The name "Reventlov's Bot Workshop" may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:List of Robot series characters#R. Giskard Reventlov|R. Giskard Reventlov]], a robot character from Isaac Asimov's ''Robot'' series.
*There is a Plumbot by the name of KH-48, this is likely a reference to
* Some pre-made Plumbot models at the Bot Emporium will have the name Elita, which could be a reference to a female robot named Elita-One from The Transformers: Generation One cartoon.
* Plumbots may have Sim-like names (for example, 4NN4 for Anna) if the randomizer is used.
*Plumbots have their own [[gravestone]] and urn. The gravestone has a holographic plaque of spinning gears.
*The name of the "Steel Chef" trait chip may be a reference to the ''[[Wikipedia:Iron Chef|Iron Chef]]'' cooking shows.
==Notes==
Line 158 ⟶ 160:
*When a Sim is doing a tune-up on a Plumbot, the Sim has a chance of saying "Time for buzip!", hinting that "buzip" could be the Simlish word for tune-up.
*If the player kicks a Plumbot out of the household, they will automatically have the Limitless Learning trait chip.{{Confirm}}
*The duration of the Power-Down function for plumbots can be modified with Nraas Retuner. Plumbots will by default boot-up by themselves after 480 minutes of being turned off. You can change this editing the value found in the route General-XML-Sims3.Gameplay.Actors-Sim-Powerdown
