Line 70:
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. Other Sims may react to SimBots with revulsion or fear, in the same way as they might react to [[Ghost]]s and [[Mummy|Mummies]], although some (perhaps Brave Sims{{Confirm}}) may cheer instead. Male and female SimBots differ in the structures of their heads and torsos. Additionally, the piece which connects the torso and pelvis is longer and narrower on female SimBots.
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, Go Berzerk, etc. They can also Converse with inanimate machines such as food processors to regain their social need. Having a sealed Hygiene need, they don't need to shower, and can spin their arms like helicopter blades to smash objects for scrap metal, although they can be fined for doing such on public property outside of home and junkyards much like detonating objects
All SimBots are created with the [[Hydrophobic]] and [[Brave]] [[trait]]s. If a SimBot gets wet, for example by forcing them to shower, they will shut down and get a "Short Out" moodlet which lasts for four hours. During this time, other Sims can repair the SimBot, or can choose to Reprogram them, which allows a reselection of their traits. However there seems to be no lasting damage from shorting out a SimBot, so it can be useful for redesigning the personality of a newly created SimBot (as there is no other opportunity to select traits for them). Even though SimBots are Hydrophobic, they have no problem mopping up puddles of water or being sprayed by a sprinkler. However, they will short circuit if commanded to play with the sprinkler. Making a SimBot sleep in the [[Sarcophagus|Cursed Sarcophagus of the Kings]] for an extended period of time will replace one of the SimBot's traits with the [[Evil]] trait. They do not gain a [[Good]] trait from sleeping in the Blessed Sarcophagus of the Kings.
