Sims will beare able to buy pre-made and pre-programmed Plumbots. There will also beis a "Create a Bot" feature, which will allowallows players to create Plumbots and customize existing ones. Plumbots will be able tocan have up to seven "trait chips", thoughand notthis allcan willchange bethe ablerobotics toskill haveof thatthe sim/Plumbot which manychanges the trait chips. Trait chips will allow Plumbots to have a variety of features, abilities and skill sets.

This appears to be the Plumbot equivalent of [[energy]]. The Live Broadcast on July 30, 2013 mentioned that Plumbots would be able to siphon power from household appliances. It also mentioned that there would be recharging stations for Plumbots. The Solar Powered trait chip allows a Plumbot to use solar power during daylight, and the Efficient trait chip lets them use power more efficiently. The higher the quality of the plumbot, the slower the battery will decay.

Unlike Servos and [[SimBot]]s, Plumbots will require maintenance, thoughand itthe isquality notwill yet clearaffect how quicklyfast this needdecays will(the decayhigher orthe whatquality willthe affect how quicklyslower it decays). It appears that Plumbots will beare able to maintain themselves, at least to some degree.theirselves<ref name="730LiveChat" />, and there is a possible change when a sim/plumbot with a medium or high robotics skill tunes a plumbot, their quality will rise.
