Plumbot
Plumbot is the life state that will be included with The Sims 3: Into the Future. There will be a "Create-A-Bot" feature, which will allow Plumbots to be customizable to some extent, and they will be able to have up to seven "trait chips".[1] 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.
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.[2]
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.
Basics
The very first of the five tabs is Basics. This is where the player chooses the Plumbot's name and gender. [2]
