As of the December 4, 2015 patch, the fan is now appearing in the search and in build mode. This is now working in my game.
tested this out for the OP and (no mods or CC) even did a repair game in Origin just in case and i also started a new game with new Sims in the unlockable rooms i don't see the fan in the room and i used the bb.showhiddenobjects went through debug by pack then all of debug no fan and yet it is at the police station however i had the new Sim join the police force joined him at work i used the cheat bb.enablefreebuild used the eyedropper to clone the fan and it showed up in police station items then switched control to a Sim at home used the cheats testingcheats and buydebug and the fan does not show up
