I have played through a lot of gaming packs in the Sims 4, and I realized I wanted to do something I have never done before. I have seen a robot going around at the Foxboury University, and that university also have a robot competition now and then, so I thought: Should I make my sim best in robotics and make a robot?
I first had to buy the robotic station. This came in the university gaming pack. Some different kind of buildings around university have this robotic station if you can't afford to buy one for your sim.
Just remember to spend a lot of time at the robotic station.
Before you get the option to build a robot, you will get the option to build smaller robots.
Talk-bot is a small robot that you can talk to if your sim have been isolated from social situations. Your sim will after a while get the opportunity to build clean-bots, repair-bots and garden-bots. They work as their name says. I have written more about it later in this post!
After my sim had getting good at robotics (7/10), she could make her own robot arm.
I thought at first this was the start of building a robot, but after I made two of them I realized they was for my sim! She can't attach more than one arm at a time, and her whole outfit (or her upper body) is changing with it.
The best thing about having a robot arm is that everything that your sim are making, its gets done faster. And it was amazing to become best at robotics faster because the arm.
The name of the big robot is called Servo.
And I needed a lot of upgrading parts to make him. I bought every possible parts on my sims computer, but mechanism and computer chip did my sim have to make on the robotic station. And as you can see, this took many sim-days.
These next pictures is from the making of Servo:
This was so much fun! I didn't know how it would be, and how the robot will react or become.
But it was just like a robot-sim. They don't have the needs of a sim, and that makes it a little bit easier to control Servo and have him around the house.
I really loved to make Servo, and this was a part of The Sims 4 I have never tried out before.
I remember back in The Sims 2, I had the game pack Deluxe Edition, and you could buy a robot to clean your house. I think every robot that have been in every The Sims game is called Servo. I love to see that a lot of products and things that excited people are following every Sims game.
Since I have a robot living in my house, I wanted to see how much human it could become. I therefore went to Sulani (summer paradise) and went to go swimming. Well, I know that Servo is electronics and I wanted to see if it actually totally died, or if my sim could only repair it.
I remember the robot from the university (that also are a Servo) have been walking around in the rain and needed repairing. I have never had the opportunity to repair it (before now) because I haven't tried out to become good in robotics before now. But because of that, I concluded that it only needed fixing.
But I read later on that if it goes way too long without getting fixed or repaired, it will die and only become upgrading parts (scrap).
To repair Servo you need a sim that are good at robotics.
Servo did swim around for a little while, but it didn't take so much time before he needed to be repaired.
As you can also see in these two pictures I have changed the colour of Servo. After it's build you can change their name and what their asperation also if you want to.
The difference from a Sim and Servo are a few things. And Servo doesn't have the same needs. My Sim have to watch the Charge level and keep the Durability in good shape.
The first picture are Servos daily needs. Don't need food, need to pee or shower. The Charge is easy, they can sleep/charge everywhere. It's like servo can fall asleep everywhere.
The picture down below are from a Sims daily needs. A little bit more to take care of, but at the same time logical.
I didn't want this to end with this try, so I thought to myself: What if I could make my sim fall in love with Servo? Can they do the wohoo in bed? Kiss? GET BABIES??
This is so much fun, and I was really looking forward to it. My sim was actually married to an another man, but I moved him out because if this long project with making robots, it just makes my project easier. Haha
So she is cheating on her man with a robot. Poor guy, maybe the worst way to be cheated on? Your wife leaving you for something she built herself and whit no real feelings?
And about the wohoo (or making babies), I figured out that they couldn't make any babies. It would be a nice add, but kind of weird too. But they could go to bed for some fun with each other. Haha!
I wrote a little bit about smaller robots earlier in this post and there is a few other robots your Sim (or Servo) can make after they get better on robotics.
Cleaner-bot is one of the first of them. As you can see it needs a few ingredients to be made. But a cleaner-bot is what it's called. It cleans up in your apartment. You don't need to spend time on it yourself, or have a maid. But the cleaner-bot need to get charged and repair once in a while too.
Don't activate it when it rains, because it cleans up outside of your Sims house too. And as you know, electronics will get destroyed in the rain.
I chose Servo to make the cleaner-bot:
Some different kind of options for the Cleaner-bot. If you don't want it, you can also sell it.
Cleaner-bot in action:
Their cat likes robotics too.
Their cat like to sit on the vacuum cleaner, or the robotic vacuum cleaner. This vacuum cleaner did came with the cat and dogs expansion pack, and it's therefore nothing that can be built.
I feel I have figured out enough, and now I need to find out more about the university bot community.
I didn't really checked it out when my sim went to the University. I don't know why, but I didn't really know how to do it. I tried to click on the sim and find something that said I could join them. But I couldn't do that.
I actually chose my sim to adopt a child, just to make her go to uni to check this out a little bit more. Maybe I had to become good friends with the bot community.
When Faith (my sim's child) grew up, she moved into a collective.
I don't regret that at all, because she got to know her room mates really well, she also found a boyfriend. Worst boyfriend in history btw, I have written more about him later in this post!
The Organization Events happens every week, and you won't get a note when they are. You just have to remember it. But people that don't go to UNI can also go to these events if they want to. Actually, Servo are often on these events. Maybe he feel like home.
To join the organization, you have to find an event with "Bot Savants". One of Faith room mates was a member, and that made it easier and faster to become a member of the Bot Savants..
You have to look for these people. They are wearing a membership t-shirt. Your sim will also get a t-shirt and a banner as a welcome gift.
My sim is happy that she is in the club!
When your sim have joined, your sim have different kind of tasks she/he can do to get more points
Your sim will also get new items. The tasks will be updated after a few days even tho you have done them all or nothing.
Let's talk about Faith's boyfriend!
Worst one in history. They was so happy together and had a lot of fun. And out of nothing, did he arranged a break up party without me knowing?! Who the f does that? That wasn't my plan. I need to kick him out soon as possible. He looked like Justin Bieber anno 2016 anyways.
BUT, when my sim moved out of Uni and had came over the breakup. She all of a sudden got really sad because someone died. I didn't know who or how did that happened. But since the new update, I have the opportunity to decide the neighborhood stories. You can read more about it here.
And Faith's boyfriend DIED! Well, what comes around, goes around!
I didn't know before I got this note:
And even tho he is dead, he did call her and wanted to do something with her. What on earth. I don't have a dead ex (yet, HAHA), but I would never want him to call me... dead or alive.
It was deadly fun :)
I am good at dad-jokes.
Thank you so much for reading!
It was really fun to play this time, because I haven't went through this at Uni, getting a job that fits the education and because of that did my sim become best in her job. If you chose your sim to go to the University it is much easier to become really great in your job you chose later on.
