@Psychotps, I have not played the Scientist career since the last 2 patches, but I have had no problems because all of my Scientists have gardens at home. I gather stuff at home (both produce and samples for the microscope ) and can complete almost all of my tasks no problem! 🤨 The only ones I can't do are the "water a plant" tasks, those of which I just ignore, although both @SheriGR and @kreatora have excellent workarounds for that 🙌 , that I have not tried yet 🤭. But even without those workarounds, it has never hindered me more than a tiny bit. I can still either get enough tasks done in the day to get full credit, or occasionally I'm just slightly short a task or two, but still get credit for a good day's work. Frankly, I have more trouble getting 3 Sims to change their clothing into another category if it is too close to quitting time (usually if I stay at work late). That is much more likely to cause me problems than the plant bug! 😳😃 Also, I have never used Mods and have never had to cheat for my tasks ! The cheats I mostly use are irrelevant at the science lab (move objects, kaching, free realestate). So you might not get every task done every day, but you can get most without cheating or Mods! 🙌 So, unless the last couple of patches have changed things , this should still be the case! 🙂
But I do agree that they should fix the gardening for this work site.:☹️ The problem is that plants now reset and sprout produce at about 5:30 am but only if your Sim is on the lot, which is impossible at the lab. But again, all my Scientists have gardens at home , so it isn't game-breaking; I just think it would be even more fun to be able to fully garden at the lab, especially since I want to have a Cowplant at the lab! 😃
Edit: I forgot to say that usually when I can't ;make a serum, it isn't because of plants, which I have plenty of, but because I don't have the right metal or crystal! 🤨
