[[File:Plumbot.png|left]]'''Plumbot''' is a [[life state]] that is introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. Plumbots are shown in the announce trailer as well in some promotional images, which also suggested that Plumbots would be fully customizable -- which they are.
 
Sims are able to buy pre-made and pre-programmed Plumbots. There is a "Create a Bot" feature, 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 have depends on its quality. 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[[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.

Plumbots can also scan Sims or other Plumbots, and will then know their traits or trait chips.

====Battery Power====
This appearsis to be the Plumbot equivalent of [[energy]]. The quality of a Plumbot affects how quickly this decays. The higher a Plumbot's quality is, the longer its battery power will last.
 
Plumbots can recharge at the '''Nexus-9 Non-Organic Charging Station''', which can be bought in Buy mode for §710. They can also siphon power from electrical appliances. Plumbots can be shut down, and will replenish power while shut down.
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.

Line 39 ⟶ 41:
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 requires at least level 2 of Bot Building skill. Customizingcustomizing 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 apparently creates Plumbots with no programming. Trait chips must be bought or made separately and installed after the Plumbot is created.
 
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.
