Hi yall!
I have a android sim, created by a jealous twin brother. Except for some stitching, she looks like his brother's wife who he's always been in love with. This Sim is a little bit crazy and a whole lot of evil. LOL.
Currently, I use KS Robot Trait and the Prototype AI trait. But I would like to go a little broader with the robots and androids. I am not only new to playing Sims 4, but I am very new at modding, which is to say I am just starting to learn. None of it makes sense yet and I'm not sure if I will ever catch on. So, I'm going to throw my idea out if anyone is up to the challenge.
The idea is based on the trait I am using now. I would like to combine the two somehow. I don't think the Prototype Ai works with the KS Robot trait. It was designed for another robot trait that unfortunately causes an error in my game.
It would be amazing if the Simbot could be added in CAS in the same fashion as how we add a sim, alien, vampire ect. But I don't know if that is something that can be done because I haven't come across any mods like that yet. If this could be done they would only need one or two traits to go along with the aspiration. (Except for Hybrids) This is kind of a Stepford Wife genre idea.
SimBot Aspirations
It has been a challenge to choose an aspiration for my robot. Instead of a trait for the function, let's make it the main goal of the sim's life. I like the basic function of KS Robot trait and would like to base the aspiration off of it with three categories.
Basic Bot- This bot does not react to the actions of others. It needs no one. This robot would be completely emotionless. It will have only a charging bar in its needs section. No buffs show up. No wants. No desires. It does not get angry, sad,ect. It does nothing but clean, garden, fix, cook, child care. They don't get married, never age, never die. Can not swim or shower. have Electrocuted animation when coming in contact with large amounts of water, but they can get their hands wet for washing dishes or bathing kids. 3-4 aspiration levels where they are going through "programming" Never makes new relationships if possible. Only remembers family members. Never has negative responses to anything.
AI Bot - Acts so much like a sim, you can't tell the difference. I figure this version does exactly what the ks trait intends with nothing but social fun and the charging bar in the needs box. It still doesn't react to actions around it because it doesn't understand human emotion. This one will do things like socialize and watch tv along with all its cleaning, cleaning, ect duties. They don't get married. Never age and never die. Can't have kids. Can not swim or shower. have Electrocuted animation when coming in contact with large amounts of water, but they can get their hands wet for washing dishes or bathing kids. 3-4 aspiration levels where they are going through "programming" Never makes new relationships if possible. Only remembers family members. Never has negative responses.
Hybrid- Hybrids. Works similar to the hybrid option in the KS robot trait. But they can have babies and live like humans with careers, relationships and and such. They don't age but they can die. Can swim, shower ect with no problems.
Robotic Spouse- Perhaps this is wicked whims style trait. The Stepford Wife trait. LOL. Some Sims are crazy like that. I wish there was a way to make the robot be owned by a certain sim, but since I searched for slave and sim as a pet type mods to try and do this for my current robot and found none, I'm guessing there is no way to make this happen. This robot would not age on its own and would not die. An option for changing the age at anytime if possible. Completely waterproof even though its needs never really decrease. still able to get viruses and stuff. Must charge. It wouldn't really react to anything like the others because of course it doesn't understand. Never have negative responses to anything romantic or friendly from the spouse. Remembers friendships. Never negative for friendly type interactions. Always negative for romantic interactions from any one other than spouse.
A charging station is a must. Instead of a bed or a base, I would like one the robot stands on. Two versions. One for flat wall. One for Corners. It would be cool if it was shaped like a sim or if it closed around them when they were in it. Kind of like the way the Coneheads slept on the bed standing up. LOL. The bots should charge themselves when they are healthy. I'm having an issue with my current robot not charging herself even though she's supposed to be able to do that. Robots with Viruses or water contact would have to be told.
When they have a virus, or have come into contact with a large amount of water, like after swimming. They would malfunction. Do things that a sim would do when raging like break things. They don't throw trash on floor instead of the can. Set fire to things. And anything else in the game that can be done to cause issues and would need to be fixed by the repair option.
Random unexplained Malfunctions like the AI Prototype trait says it might. I haven't seen any in my game yet to explain in much detail.
It would be cool if there was a way to turn them on and off where they would either stand or sit like objects LOL.
When batteries are low they would act lazy. Or momentarily become an object if that can be done. Always sitting until their battery gets real low, then they would go to the charging station and sleep until they are charged.
Traits
A set of special traits to go along with the aspiration. Somehow implement the NPC actions of hire services. Except they will actually do the job instead of hang around the house like our hired help currently likes to do. Separate traits to make them do specific things in the house. Gardner/repairman, Nanny, Maid/Cook and a trait for all of these things in one.
Careers
Special careers for SimBots would be amazing. Maybe some Police or mafia sims send them as spies. or they are servers or cooks in the family restaurant. And there definitely needs to be a blank style career for those players who can't stand having a sims that have no career listed on the dashboard. Maybe one that doesn't do anything more than send the bot to the grocery store or something for a short time. Or one that simply says this bot serves a certain family. Too bad they couldn't accompany some sims to work every time they go. that would be cool.
It sounds like a dream to me. LOL. It's a lot of ideas. So if anyone is up to the challenge, I would really love this in my game. :D
