Not to be confused with SimBot or Servo.

Plumbot is the life state that will be included with The Sims 3: Into the Future. Plumbots are shown in the announce trailer and in some promotional images, which suggest that several different styles of Plumbbot will be available. The trailer also suggests that Plumbots will be able to scan Sims in some fashion.

Sims will be able to buy pre-made and pre-programmed Plumbots. There will also be a "Create a Bot" feature, which will allow players to create Plumbots and customize existing ones. Plumbots will be able to have up to seven "trait chips", though not all will be able to have that many. Sims will be able to buy trait chips, or design and make them. Sims will be able to build a bot-building skill which will allow them to make better Plumbots, upgrade existing ones, and make more advanced trait chips.

Motives

Like Servos from The Sims 2: Open for Business, Plumbots have 4 needs. Those needs are: Battery Power, Maintenance, Social, and Fun. Whether or not Social and Fun are greyed out depends on which trait chips are installed.

Battery Power

It appears that this will be the Plumbot equivalent of energy. The Live Broadcast on July 30, 2013 mentioned that Plumbots will be able to siphon power from household appliances. It also mentioned that there will be recharging stations for Plumbots, as well as a level 7 trait chip which will allow a Plumbot to use solar power during daylight.

Create a Bot

The announce trailer suggests that it will be possible to create Plumbots inside a special machine. The live broadcast from July 30, 2013 indicates that clicking on the machine will allow the player to enter Create a Bot, which is similar to Create a Sim, but oriented toward building robots. The player will be able to customize the Plumbot by choosing a Head, Body, Arms, and Legs, and will be able to color the parts in a manner similar to Create a Style. There is a "randomize" button, as there is in Create a Sim. The player will also be able to use the machine to customize an existing Plumbot.

Basics

The very first of the five tabs is Basics. This is where the player chooses the Plumbot's name and gender.
