You would need to add the social and fun needs to the servo trait's initial commodities blacklist.
There are 2 ways to do this.

The first is to add it to the XML tuning. The trait's name is trait_Humanoid_Robots_MainTrait.
You would add the needs to this section of the XML:
Code:
<L n="initial_commodities_blacklist">
    <T>16656<!--motive_Hunger--></T>
    <T>16652<!--motive_Bladder--></T>
    <T>16657<!--motive_Hygiene--></T>
    <T>16654<!--motive_Energy--></T>
    <T>10020<!--commodity_Motive_Thirst--></T>
    <T>16617<!--commodity_Motive_HygieneOral--></T>
    <T>16616<!--commodity_Motive_HygieneHands--></T>
</L>

This would make your mod incompatible with other XML mods which modify that trait.


The other method is to add the needs to the blacklist through a script.
This requires injector.py to compile:
Code:
from injector import inject_to
from sims4.resources import Types
from sims4.tuning.instance_manager import InstanceManager
from server_commands.argument_helpers import get_tunable_instance


@inject_to(InstanceManager, 'load_data_into_class_instances')
def load_data_into_class_instances(original, self):
    original(self)

    servo_trait = get_tunable_instance(Types.TRAIT, 218444)
    motive_fun = get_tunable_instance(Types.STATISTIC, 16655)
    motive_social = get_tunable_instance(Types.STATISTIC, 16658)

    # initial_commodities_blacklist is a frozenset and must be converted to a normal set to make it modifiable
    servo_trait.initial_commodities_blacklist = set(servo_trait.initial_commodities_blacklist)
    # add the motives to the list. difference_update can be used to remove motives instead and re-enable them.
    servo_trait.initial_commodities_blacklist.update({motive_fun, motive_social})
    # convert it back into a frozenset which the game is expecting
    servo_trait.initial_commodities_blacklist = frozenset(servo_trait.initial_commodities_blacklist)
