[[File:TS4 Servo.png|left|40px]]'''Servo''' is a robot, first introduced in ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'', later re-introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]], ''and ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]''. Servo is purchased as an object in ''Livin' Large'', but is built in ''Open for Business'' and ''Discover University''. In the latter two games, Servo is effectively treated as a member of the household; it is playable, has motives, and is counted against a family's maximum number of members.
 
In a sense, ''[[The Sims 2 (PSP)]]'' has Servos in the game, though the Sim-built AIs may just be referred to as "robots" built by one of the NPC Sims in the storyline. While playing through the game with the main character, the player may encounter one. As the game is mission based, and doesn't much involve the aspect of sandbox gameplay, a [[workbench]] and the game mechanic of [[Robotics]] isn't present. This may be the only console port of ''The Sims 2'' that includes Servo.{{confirm}}
 
Servo does not return in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' base game. ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' introduces the [[SimBot]] in its place; since the original worlds of ''The Sims 3'' were placed before either ''The Sims'' or ''The Sims 2'' (in the [[Timeline of events in The Sims series|in-game timeline]]), the SimBot could be considered the predecessor to Servo. ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'' includes a customizable robot called a [[Plumbot]]. Since [[Oasis Landing]] is placed in the future relative to ''The Sims 2''—and most worlds in ''The Sims 3'', it is conceivable that the Plumbot could be considered the distant successor to Servo.

}}Servos are bought from the Electronics->Other section of [[Buy mode]], and cost a whopping [[Simoleons|§]]15,000, but will walk around the house cleaning up messes and repairing broken items, replacing the [[gardener]], [[maid]], and [[repairman]] services for a one-time cost. While Servos will clean messes and repair broken objects whenever they are activated, they only appear to do the gardening on the gardener's every-three-days schedule. Normally, Servos do not interact with Sims, but a Servo that has nothing else to do may attempt to converse with or entertain visitors. A Servo may also attempt to give backrubs to Sims in the active household when their [[comfort]] motive is low.

A Servo will change hats depending on whether it's "cooking", cleaning, repairing, or gardening. When "cooking", a Servo will wear a chef's hat; when cleaning, it will wear a maid's hat; when repairing, it will wear a repairman's cap; and when gardening, it will wear a straw sun-hat. (This may be a play on the idea that someone who does many different jobs "wears many hats".)

[[File:TS4 Servo Hovering.png|250px|thumb]]
Servos can clean, garden, repair broken objects, and provide entertainment upon request and chase away unwanted trespassers like Vampires and Paparazzi by Zapping them. They can also scan Sims to learn their traits and their current [[emotion|emotional state]], and WooHoo with them.
 
Servos have special chat interactions with electronic devices and kitchen appliances as well as the ability to flirt with them. Servos only have four needs and do not age. Getting electric shocks or being struck by the lightning (''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]'') will only energize them for 2 hours and fill their charge need, though the Zipzap spell from the ''[[The_Sims_4:_Realm_of_Magic|Realm of Magic]]'' game pack does not.
 
Servos also have the ability to engage hover mode as an alternative way of running.
