Servo observations
The quickest way to get the game to create servos is to enrol a Sim at Foxbury. At least one pre made Servo usually turns up at the Bot get together on the Sunday. These then can be accessed in the Unplayed household. They seem to start with Robotics 4 and all other skills at 1.
It’s not obvious to start with to discover what gender they are or their romantic and sexual inclinations. Notification wall messages sometimes refer to their gender. I tried merging two game made Servos into one house and getting them to ask each other, but they got huffy because they didn’t know each other well yet.
Likes and dislikes are very much affected by their needs meter. If they’re uncomfortable because low charge or needing repair, the message that they don’t like what they’re doing or hearing will often pop up. If they’re happy the ‘like” option is more likely to occur.
If you play multiple households on rotation, servos can be a problem because they insist on jogging in all weathers past your current play household. If they are too badly in need of repair, there’s limited amount you can do. Calling a repair person doesn’t work if they’re on the street. If they live alone or with someone who can’t repair them it can also be an issue because even if they call the repair person, if they fall asleep or move too far inside, the repair person goes home. Best to have them live with someone until they get to enhancement 3.
@Ozambersand - Useful observations. I'm more heavily a control player, so will most often be likely to go the cheats route, but for those averse to cheating this should be invaluable information.
