@sperry05   My sim with level 10 in Robotics can enhance a Utili-bot, the Cleaner Bot. After the robot gets to level 10 I cannot enhance them any more, but they do have lots of other options on them. I have noticed they sometimes need to have been activated for awhile, for the option to enhance them to turn up.

There was a bug for the required items being duplicated, but it was fixed in patch 1.59.73. Is that what you mean by the upgrade parts not being credited?

According to the posts in this bug report the robots need to be taken care of, unless they will fully break down after some time:

What patch are you on? You can see it in a file in The Sims 4 folder, called GameVersion.txt.

Do you use mods and CC?
Could you post a picture of the options you see on the Cleaner Bot?

    Thanks.Maybe the utility cleaner bot just got old then. It wasn't fully enhanced, but it had been around for a very long time.

    I was wrong about the robot salvage and other parts not being available to use / credited to my sim. When I went to build a new cleaner again, I was out of the other parts needed to make a new one. That's why the sim couldn't make one. I guess I just thought it was telling me I was out of those parts instead of some of the others. Thanks for the help!
