[FIXED] [GTW] Can't fulfill task to transform grass at science lab

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.48.94.1920
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Together, Get to Work, Parenthood, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Luxury Party Stuff, Holiday Celebration
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It might work to play the Science Career without "Get Famous" until the "transform grass" task pops up. This is the first time I've played the science career. Maybe the grass just has never shown up.
What happens when the bug occurs? 1.) There is no tall grass to transform for the "transform some grass" task. 2.) I didn't see any tourists when I was supposed to interact with one for a task. 3.) I was also supposed to either drink a tainted serum or give one away. When I gave one away, it didn't complete the task. I drank it, and that worked. But it would be nice if it worked to give it away too. 4.) I have run out of plants to water. I could plant new ones and water them, and that might work. I didn't try yet. However, it sounds like from reading other forums that the plants have stopped working correctly for some people.
What do you expect to see? 1.) There should be some clickable grass somewhere outside the building that can be transformed. I have the ray in my pack and transformed other things successfully. I scrolled around the building itself then all over the land around the building. There should be some clickable grass somewhere when the task shows up. 2.) Tourists should visit the lot when a tourist related task shows up. 3.) Giving a tainted serum away should complete the related task. 4.) I shouldn't run out of plants to water. I knew I would after reading in forums that others experienced this bug. So I watered one plant at a time whenever the task showed up in order to save the rest of the plants for when it would reappear. I have run out of plants to water, and the task is still appearing sometimes. Thank you!
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I don't have a save right now that could lend me some screen shots quickly (I saved right before the "weekend" and would have more workdays after that). I don't have much computer time left right now due to RL etc. However, when I get back in to play some more I can take some screenshots if needed.

In the meanwhile, I found a forum (   https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/952126/the-science-career-is-all-messed-up-thanks-a-lot-get-famous   ) in which someone else was having the same issues. They have played the Science career a whole bunch, so they'd know what the "tall grass" looks like and how the career is supposed to work. I, however, do not. There is landscaping grass right outside the door that is not clickable. I went into build mode and moved it back and forth then came back to live mode and it still wasn't clickable. Maybe some other grass is supposed to spawn that can be clicked. I wouldn't know. The other player's assertion was that these problems didn't manifest until "Get Famous" came out. She/he doesn't have that pack; neither do I. Maybe owning the pack resolves the issues, and I am interested in that pack anyway. However, it will be a while before I can get it. Until then, I am very excited about experiencing the science career for the first time, and I'd love for it to work properly. It's likely I'll hit a day in which my task list could end up un-doable. That's gonna stink. 🙂 Thanks!
