SimBot: Difference between revisions

Unlike the Servos of ''[[The Sims 2]]'', SimBots possess no ability to shut down to conserve power, or use solar power to recharge, and may sleep in a bed as any other Sim does. Sleeping SimBots emit ones and zeros instead of Z symbols as a reference to binary code. Other Sims, and even other SimBots,<ref name="carlsguide">[http://www.carls-sims-3-forum.com/index.php/topic,1206.0.html Thread "Simbots - The Way to Live" at Carl's Sims 3 Guide]</ref> will react to SimBots with revulsion if the SimbotSimBot is close enough to the said Sim, in the same way as they might react to [[ghost]]s and [[Mummy|mummies]], although those with traits such as [[Party Animal]] or [[Brave]] will cheer instead. This will make them interrupt what they were doing and cancel the whole action queue, and they won't be able to get back to what they were doing by themselves: this is not limited to the first meeting with the SimBot: any time a SimBot leaves the Sim and return to the range of the Sim, this reaction is triggered.

While SimBots can eat food, they prefer scrap, and a single piece will completely restore their hunger and provide the Great Meal moodlet. SimBots also receive a variety of unique interactions, such as Show Off Features, Discuss Oil Brands, Insult Puny Human Brain, etc. They can also converse with inanimate machines such as food processors to regain their social need. Not having a Hygiene need, they don't need to shower, and will short out if they do. They can spin their arms like helicopter blades to smash objects for scrap metal, although they can be fined for doing such on public property, except in [[junkyard]]s. If they keep destroying objects after getting fined, they'll temporarily have to go to jail. They can also [[WooHoo]], but cannot have children from interaction with Sims or other SimBots.<ref>A mod exists which allows a SimBot to have the "Try for Baby" interaction with a normal Sim.</ref> They can "reproduce" by inventing new SimBots, but this requires them to go through the extended process of getting this ability. They also get a special SimBot only special moodlet from Inventing. Like all summoned Mummies, SimBots are classed as [[elder]]s by the game. SimBots come online with automatic ranks in both the Handiness and Inventing skills.
