Not a Bug, Normal 7 day seasons too short for spawn 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? 1.55.105.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All packs except for Machino Stuff pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't think this is a bug, but I don't know where to put it, I find that one season length set to 7 days, you keep getting the same activities at the science lab, which for me was to make simray 7 times and he was at least level 10+4.. When I extended the season to 4 weeks instead of 7 days the science career works right again.
What happens when the bug occurs? clarified above and below
What do you expect to see? cliarified above and below
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

This has been a problem since the gardening update and the seasons release, I just thought I would pass this information along so that the right people know that if your playing Get To Work careers that require conditions the seasons limit though condictions.

I find Summer gives mostly collectable conditions, but it takes at least 3-5 days for collectables to show up in the science lot.

Spring/fall winter mostly indoor science activities, like invent and create elixirs.

I didn't want to put it with the bug report as it was too old for the answer, so what I have is an answer and no bug report to go with it.

I report that the other get to work jobs work better with longer seasons.

    Well the science lab should only have the rock and crystal dig sites, but after the Sims 4 Pets came the game started spawning dirt piles to dig in if cats and dogs are around they can pickup certain things and take them to their owners as little white blue present boxes.  Sometimes they are pink and white though do have some excellen stuff in there from catnip to dog cat toys to dog and cat treats, also fish, low quality to high quality even angel fish, death flower and  pretty munch anything. 

    Edit I also have seen a cat and down spawn as visitors to the science lab.  it cracked me up must have been a bug.
