I was able to reinvent the satellite dish on this new save. The workday objectives are still on the fritz at times. I do not know what is causing that and don't want to repair the game again or delete the save and start over again and again. It took multiple times asking different sims for metals to invent the cloning device before the game realized I already had the required metals.
Everything else can be invented. It's just a matter of the game registering that I have the required items to build them. There hasn't been any weirdness with that until just recently.
For the tasks: My sim has the task to use the sim ray on 3 sims. I will have him use the sim ray on those sims. That one will go through, mostly. But sometimes, it will miss a sim because that one is doing something else. However, when it shows a task to use the sim ray on one sim, I have to do the interaction again to get it recognized. The interaction is done, the mind-controlled sim does what they are told do, but it is not marked off on the list. During yesterday's playthrough, I mind-controlled a sim to clean. The sim took off to clean. But it didn't look like it was done on the to-do list. I had to try again to get it to go on to the next task. That happens on both saves.
