Yeah, I know. Plumbot conversions already exist! Well ... I've expanded on them.

a) Obviously mine are shinier, more like they are in 3, I think.
b) Mine have emission maps, translucent glass for the "eyes", and jaws (where applicable).
c) I extracted ALL the Plumbot parts! All 65 unique meshes! All the parts and all the textures I can extract from TSW (including career textures). Which doesn't have all the colors possible (the Sims3's style feature made the possibilities limitless after all), but does have different options than the already available Plumbots.

But wait! There's more!

The hover bottoms are also classified as Mermaid tails! So you can (kinda sorta) have a robot mermaid! It actually works pretty well. I highly recommend using my hover walkstyle with the hover bottom since that's exactly what it was made for. If there's better CC for a Plumbot Mermaid tail let me know! Maybe the original artist wouldn't mind me converting it for this set.

Of course there are some glitches. There are also some clipping issues, especially with the Cookie (fat) body. In order to make everything look decent the arms jut out to the side when standing naturally. It's worth the trade off; too many arms clip into the legs. I wish I could have gotten those eyes to be more reflective, but I hit a wall and don't want to invest more time in that.

These items are only meant to be used with each other. I didn't make any attempt to harmonize the Sims3 texture maps with the Sims 4. So they'll look really weird with anything else. Just sayin'.

Another flaw is that arms tend to separate at the shoulders for some of the mesh combinations. I guess they weren't meant for Sims4 animations or something. I kept the weights and groups as close to Sims3 as possible - which is pretty close, actually.

Unlike the existing Plumbots these don't wear hats or accessories. Sorry, but I just am not into trying to make those work with these. These also don't have the full body colors those have - just the 7 defaults from Sims 3 which all have grey bodies with different colored designs on them.

These were pretty fun to make! If you're curious what goes with what the picture above shows the "proper" configuration for each Plumbot. Some are easy to guess. Others less so. The Plumbots offered a LOT of customisation when it came to robots, so I'm glad I could bring that to the Sims 4.

Some Sims 3 NPC recolors are included! Follow the screenshots included to make: Buglars, Butlers, Cops, Fire Fighters, Maids, Mail Carriers, Pizza Delivery bots, and Repair bots.

Update
December 6, 2019
I figured out how to stop Mermaid tails from being random! Hooray!

June 8 2020
Removed the human tag.

March 26 2022
At some point the hover bottoms set to be mermaid tails stopped being that. So I moved them to their own package. Shoulda built them this way to begin with. More importantly I've included recolor options and screenshots from the Sims3 so you can build the following NPC Plumbots: Buglars, Butlers, Cops, Fire Fighters, Maids, Mail Carriers, Pizza Delivery bots, and Repair bots. Seeing the pizzabot again really made me want to do this since it's such a neat design. Kinda makes me want to open up the NPC Mailmen or fightfighter career ... but it's too annoying.

July 13 2022
It seems like I missed two arms still being set to tops in the last update. This has been fixed.

September 4 2022
It seems as if SaraHeadBald's jaw wasn't mapped correctly. This has been fixed.

January 5 2023
I noticed that these parts appear on Townies for the hot and cold tags, even though the "appear at random" box wasn't checked. UNACCEPTABLE! I removed the tags from every part. I also went in and tried to fix the speculars for the glass part of the eyes for all the eyes. Mostly got that right, but not completely. Went as far as to remake the Alex head, but it didn't want to shine. I can only throw up my hands at this point.

September 2 2023
Seems as if I forgot the Pizzabot version of the Kyla arms. They're in there now.
