Default Plumbot in the Past Challenge
You are a Plumbot who has been yanked from your grand futuristic world into a savage land of the past. There are no other robots, no bot building stations, not even any chargers! You can't get back to where you came from, but you can try to live here.

Setup
Create a Sim, move them onto an empty lot, and send them into the future. Buy or make a Plumbot. Get any trait chips that you want now! You won't be able to get them in the past. Your Plumbot must have the Fear of Humans chip, and cannot have the Solar Power chip, but any others are up to you. Don't have your Sim upgrade the quality of the Plumbot, just leave them at low quality. Go back to the past and move your human out. Don't kick them out, have them buy one that drains the household funds to almost nothing. Your Plumbot is now abandoned. You should not own a Bot Building Station or a charger. Now you must survive. Your Plumbot has to be able to earn cash and charge if it wants to survive. It can Syphon Charge on TVs and computers. Avoid humans at all costs, as they cannot understand robots from the future.

Rules

You CAN:

-Get a job
-Associate with Supernaturals with long lifespans/no lifespan (ghosts, vampires, fairies, werewolves)
-Associate with aliens (They are familiar with robots and futuristic tech)
-Syphon charge on objects
-Buy Items with earned money (cannot buy a charger unless it has 30,000 Simoleons in its household funds -- chargers cost extra since you must make them yourself!
-Buy a Robot Making Station if you have 150,000 Simoleons
-Build a SimBot (If you have Ambitions) and hang out with it. You can't buy it with Lifetime Rewards, sorry.
-Talk to Coworkers FOR WORK ONLY. Never talk to them outside work.

You CANNOT:

-Use cheats

-Go to the Future
-Talk to humans (If they approach you, just get away fast.) You lose if you approach or befriend one. Befriending one due to work is excusable, just let them drift away after awhile.
-Enter the lottery. You don't want any media attention for winning.
-Enter a Film or Journalism career (too much attention)

Use cheats and go to the future are separate, but it won't let me separate them.

You Win when:
-You own a house with a Bot Building Station and Charger (or have Solar Power)
-You have a non-human friend or romantic relationship
-You are top quality with all chip slots open

You Lose if:
-You have a non-work related human friend
-You run out of battery and are forced to shut down three times
-You reach the top of a career. Everyone knows about you. That's not very discreet.

This sounds fun! But I don't get one way of winning; getting a bot building station, because the rules say you can't have one? I'm a bit confused.

If you have 150,000 Simoleons in your household funds, you can buy one. The idea is that you need extra money since the technology is not mainstream.

If you have a junkyard in your town, you can make it harder for yourself by needing x number of scrap for each tune up!

Also, it feels kinda easy since you can power down to recharge battery, unless you aren't supposed to do that..?
