These playable creatures have two eyes instead of the single camera-like eye of Servos, and they have a more robotic, less streamlined appearance. This is consistent with the belief that The Sims 3 is set 50 years before The Sims 2 and 25 years before The Sims, and has led to speculation that SimBots are prototypes for Servos. (The Sims 2 Servos clearly appear as golden statues in the science labs, so it appears that they are a long-term goal.) SimBots can be male or female.
