Line 39:
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, 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. 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.

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, including the ability to remove all 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, as the only other opportunity to select traits without using [[testingcheatsenabled|cheats]] is the Mid-life Crisis [[Lifetime reward|reward]]. It has been reported<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> that reprogramming a SimBot will reset its relationships.
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. Even though they do not like swimming it is still possible to drown a SimBot.
In addition, SimBots will generally have the [[Brave]] trait, though it appears that some do not. However, it is noted that almost all (if not all) invented SimBots will have the Brave trait.

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. It is currently not possible to create a SimBot-Mummy hybrid, although SimBot Ghosts are possible. They can die by Old Age, drowning and starvation. (Base game)
Since they do not have malleable skin and (technically) do not wear clothes, SimBots are unable to receive tattoos or makeovers. They do not receive the "Completely at Ease" moodlet when opting for spa packages, though they do retain an "Energized" moodlet of the same magnitude, but not the duration.
