Since the patch, the Chemistry Lab used in the Scientist career is not working properly. The only options available are Experiment and Tinker. The options to create serums are no longer visible when you click on the machine.
This issue was fixed in Patch 1.17.7
Loaded my game today, the patch installed (MAC OS X), went to work with my scientist and he can no longer use the chemistry lab or analyzer. All he can do is tinker or experiment. It worked fine before this latest patch. They don't even work at his home. I deleted the chemistry lab and bought a new one, but he still can't use it. Please fix this.

I have the same problem as everyone else, since the patch on march 22:nd making serums on the Chemistry Lab doesn't work. I have no cc/mods installed. I played the game before and after I installed the patch and that's definitely the problem. I have tried repairing the game and resetting my Sims 4 folder. Nothing works ☹️
He already was level 10 in the scientist career before the patch. Do you think I should change his career and then put him back in it?

I newly (or again) put mine in the career and the problem does not occur.

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
My sim can't create serums at work. She is a level 10 in the scientist career track. Any ideas? She's been able to create serums in the past.
