[[File:PlumBotIconTemp.png|left|40px]]'''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.<ref name="723LiveChat">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7nbqcdTs9A The Sims 3 Live Broadcast - July 23, 2013] on "The Sims" YouTube Channel. Mention of Plumbots starts at around 25:00</ref><ref name="730LiveChat" />

===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.<ref>[http://www.simcookie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/The-Sims-3-Into-the-future162.jpg Screencap at SimCookie] showing "Solar Powered" as a trait chip that can be created.</ref>
===Maintenance===
Unlike Servos and [[SimBot]]s, Plumbots will require maintenance, though it is not yet clear how quickly this need will decay or what will affect how quickly it decays. It appears that Plumbots will be able to maintain themselves, at least to some degree.<ref name="730LiveChat" />
