Help with Stepford Wife

[RandieReigns]

Hi Yall! 

This is my first post on this site which I love more than I imagined I would. A part of me I didn't know existed has been unleashed! LOL. 

Since the mod creators here seem to be able to do more detailed style mods I'm going to see if anyone can help me with the SimBot I am building. 

 

I am using a robot trait (KS Robot Trait). It's cool, but I want to expand on its functions. I was hoping someone could use this mod as inspiration for something new for us wickedwhims style players. 

 

The story for how this robot came to be is simple. I have a sim that is becoming more and more evil every day. Ever since he lost his girlfriend and she ended up marrying his brother. Now he's an ex scientist with violent tendencies. After finding a monster machine and trying it out, I ended up with a robot sim that looks a lot like his ex girlfriend. She is the family's maid now and also his "doll"

 

Now I have an idea for how to improve the game play. I want the robot to be as unemotional as possible. I've combined a lot of different traits but she still exhibits some emotions and whims and she doesn't stick to her cleaning, repairing, cooking, ect. 

 

Here is the basic idea I wrote down for a SimBot. 

 

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)

 

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. 

 

Artificial Intelligence 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-  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. 

 

Stepford Wife- This is wicked whims style trait. A sex doll of sorts. Maybe there could be two versions. One that is only a sex doll that never leaves the house and one that everyone thinks is a normal human (or alien, vampire, ect) wife. 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 currently is done like sleeping or napping on a special bed, but it would be cool if they were standing when they charged and if the object closed around them when they were in it.

 

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 do an electrocution animation after getting out. I wish they did it while in the water and it would be cool if they actually malfunctioned afterwards.   Do things that a sim would do when raging like break things. They 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. Just a wish because it sounds impossible to me for this game. 

 

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 hired 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, but I wanted to share it. It might inspire someone.

 

I'd be happy if I could simply get the social and fun removed from what I'm using and make her go nuts after she's been in water or caught a virus which she tends to do a lot.  Also really need a redesign for the charger. The regular base doesn't show up in my game for some reason and I don't like the charging bed. Just something she can charge standing up in would be perfect for the home I've built. 

 

 If anyone is up to the challenge ...   

 

So, that's all I have for this idea. 

Wishing you all lots of love and game playing time!
