Androids is what got me back into TS4 (with pics)
I wasn't actively playing since summer, but then I suddenly remembered about how I played with humanized servos in TS2 and decided to search for mods to do something similar in TS4.
I already knew it was possible, at least partially, however, it turned out mods provide everything I need! And now I just cannot stop creating new and new androids (and then they even create each other lol). Some examples:

I just wish someone more creative and knowledgeable person than me would merge everything needed into one mod. Right now, aside from clothing and shoes, 5 mods are necessary to create what you see on the pictures (skin, skin details, masks, eyes and humanizing servos mod so you won't have to do it manually). You will also need one additional mod (any of them) that is able to add and remove hidden traits for editing appearance. Oh, actually I haven't applied the android skin for full-masked android and back-and-white one, only skin details, thus you can see some muscles, but still looks robotic enough IMO :)
Of course it would be even better to have an official DLC version from Maxis - either solely dedicated to androids or some version of "Into the future". I know it won't happen, though lol In case androids are just modified servos, all of this functionality could be tied to just one object - like plastic surgery machine from TS2, for example. In case they are separate "life state" there would be entire new system, I guess.
