If your Sim has no mechanical points, it'll take about 12 hours of working at the robot crafing station to earn a bronze badge, another 24 to earn a silver then another 48 to earn a gold (which is required to build Servo). If you're trying to build Servo to sell you can always try hiring an employee who alread has a a higher Robotery badge than your playable Sim.

Or if I understood what it does, you could try this (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=136990&goto=newpost) from dolphin. :salute:

I got the info about the badges from the Prima guide.

Maybe i'm just not quite getting it, but i recently realized that there was a servo in the new expansion pack, so i set to work aquiring my gold robot badge...and now i have a servo...but his power ran down, and he went to recharge and just sat there deactivated. ...after several sim hours of this with no change (other then his fun and social was dropping) i left the game and picked up one of the modded objects that would restore servo's power.

I returned to the game, cancled his recharge and sent him to the object to restore his power. Well, it did, but right before his power was restored he started to 'run a muck' then he tried to electrocute one of my teenaged daughters on the lot. I cancled the interaction before that happend. Then he surged with electricity and now he's broken. I have no options when trying to click on him....naively thinking i could just repair him...and i havn't been able to find some object in the game that would allow me to recharge/repair him. I don't know what to do! Is it possible that you SHOULD be able to repair him, but one of the hacks in my game is inadvertantly supressing the 'repair' command? What's suppose to happen after he breaks down? I can't pick him up and delete him (without moveobjects of course) so i'd suppose i can't sell him back to the game like an object.

(If i'd known he'd become part of your family i might not have been so interested in exploring him....well, no that's not true...but i would have expected to atleast have the option to deactivate him and then sell him back to the game...or something to that effect.)

Anyway, if anyone could give me some insight on what i'm suppose to do with him now, please help! :)

Servo recharges in the sunlight (outside). If it's nighttime, then Servo will power down unday the next morning then start to recharge. As for the second problem of Servo 'Running Amok', you'll have to let it drain its power then call the repairman to, well repair it. If one of your sims has a high enough mechanical then they can repair Servo instead.

It's like the other bots- sometimes they malfunction, and sometimes they are created broken and need immediate repairing. Mine seem prone to having all stats fall suddenly upon recharging.
