}}''This is about the robot, for the in-game Sim Highlighter go to PlumBob.''[[File:Plumbot.png|left]]'''Plumbot''' is a [[life state]] that is introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. Plumbots are shown in the announcement trailer as well in some promotional images, which also suggested that Plumbots would be fully customizable—and they are.

Sims are able to buy pre-made and pre-programmed Plumbots. There is a "Create a Bot" feature, accessed through [[Reventlov's Bot Workshop]], which allows players to create Plumbots and customize existing ones. Plumbots can have up to seven [[Plumbot#Trait Chips|"trait chips"]], which allow them to have a variety of features, abilities and skill sets. The number of trait chips a Plumbot can be equipped with depends upon its creator's [[Bot Building]] skill. Any Sim with high enough skill can upgrade a Plumbot to give it more trait chip slots. Sims are able to buy trait chips, or design and make them; and are able to buy materials needed to make them<ref name="813_blog">[https://www.thesims3.com/community/blog.html?blogid=516041 August 13 blog post by SimGuruBritt].</ref> Sims are able to build a Bot Building skill which allows them to make better Plumbots, upgrade existing ones, and make more advanced trait chips.<ref name="723LiveChat">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7nbqcdTs9A The Sims 3 Live Broadcast - July 23, 2013] on "The Sims" YouTube Channel.
