The concept of the pack was refined over the year, and was finally released on October 22, 2013.

 

 

;Time Travel

*Sims can travel to a normal, dystopian, or utopian future. Only one of these future events may occur, as the players can only choose one of them at a time.

*Players can use the time almanac to trigger any of the events. Alternatively, Sims can convince other Sims in the main world to manually trigger the future event.

**Achieving a legacy statue will give unique rewards to the Sim, and a Sim can achieve multiple legacy statues at once. Future Sims will also applaud the Sim when they are in the future.

 

*Plumbots can be created in a bot workshop with [[Create a Bot]] if the Bot Building skill is high enough. They can also be purchased from the bot emporium in Oasis Landing.

*Regular plumbots by default don't have any specialties. Sims with high Bot Building skills however can create trait chips for the plumbots to give more advanced functionality. The capacity of a plumbot's trait chips can be increased by upgrading the plumbot's trait chip slots.

*It is possible to create Plumbots resembling Servos.

 

 

*[[Bot Fan]]

:''The boom in Bot technology has left many Sims fascinated and intrigued by these complex machines. While many Sims are at home with their organic bodies, some would prefer to be a Bot instead.''

:''When a pile of disjointed components rattle around a Sim's head, they tend to be called "Unstable." Their traits are in a constant unpredictable flux and delusional episodes are just around the corner.''

 

 

*[[Advanced Technology]]

*[[Bot Building]]

 

*'''High Tech Collector''' - Most Sims use technology and some may understand it, but few truly appreciate it the way you do. By amassing a vast collection of your most beloved hardware, you might build a living museum to the machines you love!

**Reach Level 10 in Advanced Technology Skill

**Be Honored with a Legacy Statue

 

*'''Portal Immunity''' - ''Never suffer from the effects of Time Travel Sickness while traveling through time again!'' (5,000 points)

*'''Future Sim''' - ''Become the Sim of the Future, today! Receive an upgraded phone and fit in better while in Oasis Landing.'' (10,000 points)

*'''Trait Chip Bundle''' - ''Get a bundle of assorted Trait Chips for your Plumbots without having to design or create them!'' (10,000 points)

*'''Time Remote Control''' - ''The power to control time! Allows for Oasis Landing Utopian, Dystopian, and Normal states to be selected at the click of a button.'' (30,000 points)

 

*[[Astronomer]] (rabbit hole career)

**Astrophysicist and Space Explorer branches

*Bot Builder (skill career)

 

**Three Eyed Fish (common)

**Rainbow Snail (uncommon)

**Pill Bug (common)

**Honeypot Ant (uncommon)

*The time portal used in-game is called the '''Wellsian Time Portal'''. This could be a reference to H.G. Wells's sci-fi novel ''"The Time Machine"''.

* When looking closely inside an All-In-One Bathroom, there are three seashells on a shelf. This is a reference to the movie, ''Demolition Man''.
