Hi @neuroticnelly, @Avanjo

merged your post with existing thread

Please refer to this for a possible solution: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2016/03/scientist-can-only-experiment-on-the-chemestry-lab/

EDIT: I'm marking this as workaround for visibility.  

If the workaround helps you, please consider giving XP on this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/WORKAROUND-GTW-Chemistry-Lab-broken/m-p/5247595/highlight/true#M23224

Thanks Crinrict! I'll go back in and have him quit and rejoin the science career. Yes I'll give you props if it works. 🙂

Thank you so much for your help! I quit and rejoined the scientist career and the chemistry lab works again! Much love to you :D

@crinrict

In your workaround, as long as you are telling people to use cheats, you might want to provide a different solution which doesn't require leaving and rejoining the career:

Traits.equip_trait trait_Hidden_HasBeenScientist

The game added a new hidden trait, trait_Hidden_HasBeenScientist, to track if the sim is capable of creating serums. That trait is granted when the sim first enters the Scientist career, hence why the workaround works. But the only thing that should be required for the fix is granting the trait.

Caveat: I tested only the adding the trait part, as I don't have a previously existing sim in the Scientist career (and thus with the bug), but it should work.
