this isn't detroit so let me have this

To me, it looks like the robots are really done: a fully developed, controllable life state with their own unique needs (Fun, Social, Durability and Energy!) and quirks such as having their own customizable personalities, as well as not being able to go out in the rain or get wet. I appreciate that they can learn and enhance themselves, and that they require constant maintenance without ever aging. They even have their own form of "death" -- if you leave them broken too long they will be reduced to nothing more than a scrap pile.

I've never been a big fan of robots in past versions but these look quite appealing.

now for some robot store names ideas

My rotational save literally IS Detroit and I still have Android Zone stores ;) I love how there is such a big overlap between simmers and Detroit: BH players (at least it appears to be a large number), but sometimes I'm afraid I'm the only one who plays in a failed revolution AU.

My androids will probably consider the simpler robots pets. My avatar has a streaming drone named Ares that essentially functions as his pet. I gave the little one a cusom recolor and am weirdly attached to it (the mimic does it, I suppose). Will love the new robots, too!

one Robot Store name i came up with is this

Bots R Us

one i'm considering is a store that sells robots (both servos and utili-bots) owned by a servo and run entirely by servos, though that latter part will probably be tricky (always is, getting the sims you want for these positions. took ages to get my fully alien staff for both a restaurant and a retail store)

Does it have to be a specific servo or just any servo? If the latter, wouldn't MCCCs "Import tray sim" function do the trick?
I replaced all the "Men in Black" in Strangerville with an android from my library and it worked like a charm (except during the Welcome Wagon event, I had to wait until they got ready to leave to get the MCCC menu on them).

But I only needed the template sim's traits, appearance and wardrobe, not an already played individual with their history.
