You could modify the sphere to be bigger when pregnant

The metal rim of the eye remains unchanged, though. Don't know if that was intended or not, but it'd be nice if that recolored with the rest of the head.


Both issues are now fixed and the download file has been updated - please re-download! And thank you for solving the mystery as to why the male head wasn't recolouring as expected!

LOL!! If someone who knows how to do that (I don't) would like to have a go, it would be fantastic!

Wow, that was fast! It takes me forever to update my own files.

Will test A.S.A.P!

*Edit* Looks great, and recolors superbly! Thank you!

Whoa, I didnt even think of that. I wonder if the ghost light on the energy sphere stays intact when servo becomes a ghost?

Hmm, very strange - so you put it in Mods\Packages, but the sim is showing up in CAS with the robot body but without the robot head? And you looked in the 'Hat Hairs' section of the Hair panel, to find the robot head and have your sim 'wear' it, but it's not there? If so, I'm stumped - no-one else has had this problem, and I can't understand why it wouldn't be there. Please let me know exactly what steps you took.

well, i put the mods in the correct folder(i used winrar), i booted up the game(Lasted patch and WE, no high end stuff). I created a new neighberhood and went into CAS. I cliked the premade sim option and brought up the servo. It was mising the head but had the body and a blue tinted head with brown hair. I have no idea what is the matter

Servo was from Open For Business, if I'm not mistaken. But you had to get the Robot Crafting Station and work your way up to him.

Human beings are a very irrational species. Some of them are even afraid of pickles.

Did you look in the men's Hat Hair section in CAS?

The file is fine - try downloading it again, maybe something got corrupted somehow during the downloading process.

Yes, Servo came with the 'Open For Business' expansion pack. You had to get one of your sims to buy a robot-crafting table and make one, and activate it. Once activated, it behaved mostly like a regular sim but with a few differences, such as doing all the household chores and standing outside to power down and recharge itself when it ran out of energy, rather than sleeping in a bed. It also talked in a cute robot voice that I wish it was possible to reproduce in TS3! So I gave mine the highest-pitched and nerdiest TS3 voice to try to make up for it.

If you play TS2 and don't have Open For Business but want some robots in your TS2 game, a creator called NovaL made several fantastic robots that work with just the base game - I had most of them in my TS2 game and they look great: http://www.modthesims.info/member.php?u=93596

I have tried downloading it several times, all with the same result. I used WinZIP & 7zip to open the file.

What operating system are you using?

If you're on Windows, then in XP, Vista and Windows 7 all you have to do is double-click on a zip file and it will open automatically, as a built-in feature of Windows. You don't need WinZIP or 7zip to open zip files.

If, when you click it, it keep opening automatically with WinZIP or whatever is giving the error message, then right-click on the zip file and choose 'Open With' and then 'Compressed (zipped) folders' if you're on XP (not sure about Vista or 7 as I'm on an XP computer now and not able to check) to force it to open with Windows' built-in unzip feature rather than WinZip.

If you still can't force it to open with Windows' built-in unzip feature, then download WinRAR and open it with that. http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-...4-10007677.html

If you're on a Mac, Stuffit should be able to open it.
