SimBots are robots, reminiscent of the Servos in The Sims and The Sims 2. Simbots can be either gender, and they come with a small range of metallic finishes. Newly invented SimBots have a smooth metallic finish, and SimBots ordered through the New Best Friend lifetime wish look rusted and banged up. SimBots cannot be edited in Create-a-Sim without mods. All SimBots come with the [[Game Help:Sims 3 Traits|Hydrophobic trait]], which means they don't shower and can't swim. If a SimBot gets wet it will breakdown for several hours. SimBots also come with the [[Game Help:Sims 3 Inventing|Inventing]] and [[Game Help:Sims 3 Upgrades|Handiness]] skills. Simbots have little jets on their soles and will hover along instead of running.

There are several ways to acquire a SimBot, or even to make your active sim into a SimBot.
There are two ways you can acquire a Sim Bot.

==Mystery Invention==
+
'''My Best Friend''' - This 40,000 point [[Game Help:Sims 3 Lifetime Rewards|lifetime reward]] automatically gives the household a SimBot with the best friend relationship status. However, these SimBots have rusty skins and seem to live less long compared with invented SimBots.
Invent the Sim Bot using the Scraptastic Workbench. First, you must maxed out the [[Game Help:Sims 3 Inventing|Inventing]] skill. Your sim will receive a phone call to start the [[Game Help:Sims 3 Opportunities|opportunity]] that will eventually lead to inventing a Sim Bot.

 +
'''Mystery Invention''' - This is a chain of [[Game Help:Sims 3 Opportunities|opportunities]] unlocked by having a level 10 [[Game Help:Sims 3 Inventing|Inventing]] skill. In the end the inventor creates a SimBot that counts as part of their family tree, either a son or daughter.
  
 
* First, you will be required to bring [[Game Help:Sims 3 Rocks Gems and Metals|Palladium]] to the Science Lab.

After creation, you will be asked if you want to adopt the SimBot or release it into the wild. Adopting it causes it to be part of your household. Releasing it will cause it to become a townie. After you create your first SimBot, you can go back to the workbench and create more provided you have the aforementioned ingredients. You will also be able to choose its gender.

'''Bottled Simbot Converter''' - If you have Supernatural your sim can buy a Bottled Simbot Converter potion from the Elixir Consignment Store. Likewise, your sim can brew one using the [[Game_Help:Alchemy|Alchemy]] skill and the ingredient combo [[Game_Help:Sims_3_Rocks_Gems_and_Metals#Metals|Iron, Gold, Palladium]]
  
  
After you create your first Sim Bot, you can go back to the workbench and create more. You will also be able to choose its gender. You will still need to have the original materials to create it.

===Abilities===
  
==Lifetime Reward==
 
  
The easier way, certainly if your sim is not an inventor, is to simply save up 40,000 [[Game Help:Sims 3 Lifetime Rewards|lifetime reward]] points and claim the My Dear Friend reward. The Sim Bot will join your household with Best Friend status.

;Smash
  
=Cursed Sarcophagus=
+
SimBots can turn their arms into whirring rotor blades and smash objects into piles of scrap, which is their food source.
  
Having your Sim Bot sleep in a Cursed Sarcophagus will not change them into some crazy, mutant, Mummy Bot. It will, however, replace one of their traits with the Evil trait.

All SimBots come with the Hydrophobic trait, which means they don't shower and can't swim. If a SimBot gets wet it will breakdown for several hours. SimBots also come with the Inventing and Handiness skills. Simbots have little jets on their soles and will hover along instead of running.

In lieu of the usual sim motives, Sim Bots have special, robot motives.
