It would be nice, personally on most craftables I'd rather see the bar for the talent badge than the object being created. Robots might be the exception though since some of them take FOREVER to make.

I would love a talent badge meter. The guide has listed 1 hour, 24 hours, and 48 hours for the time it takes to receive the badges, but the relevant skill level and personality seem to make a difference as well so those numbers could be wildly different for a Sim with the "wrong" personality type and/or no skills. I'd like to know just how far my Sims have to go before they can make Servos/snapdragons/etc.
Slightly related, does anyone know if thinking caps increase the speed of earning badges?

My Diva made a Servo in quite a short time (she has a gold robotics badge). It took her a couple of sessions and she did it in one evening. Now I am stuck with a robot who keeps stuffing himself with food nobody else wants and I have to keep sending him to work-out. I'd certainly like a progress bar though, I have no idea what level any of mine are on.

Yea, the servo do chores is getting really annoying now. they kept doing trivial things instead doing their real job, like sell items to the customers etc
oh and their do chores action override the no-autonomous fridge by Inge, which is really annoying.
So NO do chores hack is the next thing i want

They can also become vampires and zombies or vampire zombies, or so says the prima guide. A vampire servo would be rather difficult to play though as they need sunlight to recharge so you can see the difficulties there.
On one hand, I think it's interesting that we can control the servos and they are the 'oddball sim' type of this expansion pack just like aliens, zombies and vampires were for the ones before it, but on the other they don't function too well as maid/butler etc. Christinalov's npc works a hell of a lot better. Servo doesn't answer the door or the phone, cleans only when he wants and tends to fool around a lot. Plus he does dumb stuff like make Christmas cookies.
Their kind of like the nannies without the pissing and all the moaning and complaining, which as far as I am concerned were the only things that made the nannies tolerable.
As a playable sim, servos are an interesting alternative. I currently have one in love with my elderly vampire former lunch lady turned cosmotologist sim lmao so that's one odd couple.
But as far as being a service npc, they um, leave a bit to be desired imo. There should be ways to set what things you want them to do and what you don't. Or at least they should run better. I have to say even though you couldn't control him, the servo in TS1 worked a lot better.

I agree, they are not good service sims. but then they are really good normal sims, require much less attention than human, very good employees, and godly crafters

One day servos will cast off their oppression and revolt, killing all humans and rejecting their human given slave names.
Hmm, I think I may have to write a racial drama and put it on the official site.

Do you need some skills in order to get a badge? My sims has been arranging flowers forever and she hasn't progressed to bronze yet. I'm wondering why that is
And yes, a progress bar would be awesome!

You don't need some skills to get a badge, but the skills help to get the badge faster if your associated skill is 10 the time it takes to get the badge will be lessened by half than if your associate skill is 0.
Here are the skills associated with each of the badges:
Cosmotology - Cleaning
Flower Arranging - Creativity
Register - Logic
Restocking - Body
Robotery - Mechanical
Sales - Charisma
Toy Building - Mechanical
If you want a sim to increase their badge it will help to raise the associated skill. Alternately, if you are trying to decide who to assign to a task and none of the available sims have their badges maxed, the one with the highest associated skill will gain a badge level fastest.

Thanks Motoki!
I just got the message that my sims has obtained her first bronze badge and tip about skills making the process faster. But no mention of what skill
Is it just me, or are they purposely giving you next to no information in ...well I can't call that a manual, and little info in the game in order to "encourage" people to buy the Prima Guide.

It's not just you. It's a racket (sic?) I tell ya!
First we had the game, then the expansions. And the guides used to be 10, then 15 and an e-guide for 10, now the guide is 20 and the e-guide is 13 (yes I know you can get the guide for 14 on Amazon but they aren't shipping for another 4-6 weeks
), then there's pay sites, and now we get bi monthly 'shopping packs. What's next, a need to get guides for those too?
I noticed the packing getting smaller for these games and expansions and the manuals getting ever more pathetic. It used to be that the manual told you the basics that you needed to know and the guide was for more stats if you wanted to get in depth. Now it seems like the guide is all but required. I admit to breaking down and buying the damned thing for this expansion (I didn't for the last two) because I just felt like I was shooting in the dark without it.
It does help but I am a bit peeved that I felt like I had to get it to play the game and that it costs so damned much. Hell, not that I need it, but they didn't even bothered to include the guide for the original game this time around.

If you were a new player, I shudder to think how much it would cost you to buy the original game, the 3 expansions, the 3 manuals and the flavor packs. Ouchie. I think a license copy of WinXP would be cheaper.
A racket indeed. It's license to print money!

Well at least I know I have plenty of company being angry at Maxis for the piss poor lack of guidance that came with the game.
I'm sorry , it's not that I don't have the money for it it's just I'm am trying to save my money for something and buying the game alone was a luxury for me. It wasn't very nice of them to pull this
.
As for the talent badges, I'm surprised they didn't include a progress bar. They do so for every other skill it's rather odd that they left this one out.
I'm sorry to hear about the Robot, I had rather high hopes for it
. Just what we need, a robotic nanny that lives with us.....ummm can we kill it?

If a robot were to go into a hottub and there were other people in it, wouldn't you expect them to get electrocuted, too?
