“Do you even know what robot means?”
Moulden Robotics, located at 1002 Science Square in Port Oceanside, is owned by former tinkerer and newest resident Abbot Moulden. Abbot will not visit the lot until the unlocking of the Business District but you know me — I HAVE TO BUILD ALL THE THINGS!
Exterior
The factory’s exterior combines elegant factory brick and nailed sheet metal.
A Servo statue graces the entrance.
The bus stop in front of the shop.
*Hello Abbot. Waves*
Many sims are concerned about the amount of polluted smoke spewing from the factory’s chimney stacks but it takes a lot of fuel to make the robots.
The side entrance leads to a small lunch yard for the human workers.
Back of factory
Interior
Inside uninitialized Servos scare greet you.
Moulden Robotics will be the first place on the island to purchase hand-held devices!
Toy robots and robot decor are also sold here.
HydroBots and CleanBots
SecurityBots and MunchieBots
Servo Sales Floor
Abbot’s initial Servo design using scrap metal and trash. Maybe that’s why he was knocking over so many trash cans…
Servos waiting to find a good owner.
Servos for the kiddlets!
The Cash Wrap
One does not simply purchase a bot from Moulden Robotics. There’s lots of paperwork to fill out — and liability contracts — before taking one of these bad boys home.
The Factory
This part of the factory is off limits to customers.
Here Servo parts are engineered and ready to assemble into real Servos.
The plasma generator brings the bots to “life.”

Notes
I probably will not open the factory until Abbot has created enough robot inventory. For the previews I used buyable craftable bots so I could see where everything should go. Everything will be set to “expensive” so only the really wealthy sims will be able to afford the bots.

I first wanted to thank you so much for releasing the Moulden Robotics Robot Factory & Oceanside Customs and Auto Repair for your fans (including myself!) to download. I just wanted to report that the Robot Factory lot is missing several things which flashes blue and pink in my game 🙁 The interior and exterior brick wallpaper between the arches, shiny things inc display recolors, city hall application forms, nexus-9 non-organic charging station, district attorney bookcase, whiteboard recolor, portable toilet, water tank(?) outside and OMSPs are missing. Sorry for being so tedious but the horrible flashing bothers me so much especially on such a fantastic lot lol

So sorry that not everything carried over on the download. I’m not too good at this stuff, lol! But thank you so much for letting me know about it.
So I went into my game to find the missing items and here’s what I found. It looks like a lot of the stuff you list above are “slave” objects and need “master” meshes, that’s why they are not working for you. I amended the post above to include links to the master meshes since I can’t post links in the comments.
Here’s a breakdown:
1. Interior and Exterior Brick Wallpaper is converted from Life Stories. The link above will give you the bundle of all the Life Stories walls and floors. Sorry, I cannot break these up and just give you the walls 🙁
2. Shiny Things counters and shelves: these are meant to change from white to pink. The recolor file is included in the download of the lot. If it is doing something else, or I am misunderstanding you, please let me know.
3. City Hall Application Forms, Nexus-9 Non-Organic Charging Station, District Attorney Bookcase, and Whiteboard need a master mesh. Links listed above.
4. The converted Castaway Stories Fuel Tank and Port-A-Potty are part of a big download of converted Castaway items, link listed above.
5. For the OMSPs, I have so many of them that I can’t list them all 🙁 But, they are from SilentLucidity at ModTheSims. If you do a search, you will find they made a few different kinds. I have them all.
I hope this was helpful. Sorry I didn’t understand that the masters would not package up with everything else.
Thank you again for letting me know!

10/09/2020 at 5:05 amHey, DD
Just reporting back with a few more missing items and other things I’ve noticed:
– OMSP for dining table by Ariffrazalin on MTS (which appears has been removed)
– The robot statue next to the front desk by the register
– The front entrance door handles are flashing blue and the door looks completely different compared to the photos
– The rose bushes on the right hand side appear as a stack of phonebooks and the No-Fuss Ficus pot plant that looks like the Sim Blender lol
I was able to get everything else to appear correctly from the additional links with your help!

I really am rubbish at this aren’t I, lol. So, so sorry!
1. For the OMSP: I don’t know where this is in the lot. I suggest just deleting the missing one and, if one is needed, just use SilentLucidity’s OMSP for dining tables. Also, I have the collection version of the OMSPs, so I’m guessing that’s why they didn’t package together with the lot.
2. and 3. The robot statue and the front entrance door I no longer have in my downloads. The door I replaced it with is by Hugelunatic at ModTheSims, the Loft Window Addons. I believe they include a CEP-extra file to make them work.
4. Yes, lol, on all my lots I put the Visitor Controller, Sim Blender, and ACR Adjuster which I turn into rose bushes. I didn’t include those in the lot package file because they are major mods. They must have reverted back to what they are cloned from. Please just delete those and add rose bushes or whatever you want out front!
I’m glad everything else works! ^.^
