'''SimBots''' are a [[life state]] introduced to ''The Sims 3'' in ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]''. They harken back to [[Servo]]s, however they differ in many important aspects. In the game code, they are identified as "FrankenSims" and "Frankensteins".

Line 87:
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. 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. 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.
All SimBots are created with the [[Hydrophobic]] [[trait]]. If a SimBot gets wet, for example by forcing them to shower or swim, they will shut down and get a "Short Out" moodlet which lasts for four hours (it has also been reported that a SimBot may short out for no apparent reason). During this time, other Sims can repair the SimBot, or can choose to Reprogram them, which allows a reselection of their traits. 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
Even though SimBots are Hydrophobic, they have no problem mopping up puddles of water, exploring dive pools, being caught in a steam trap or being sprayed by a sprinkler. However, they will short circuit if commanded to play with the sprinkler.
