Is it possible to go into build mode in the Secret Lab?

Please, @SimGuruHouts ! Could the team release the tools to edit the secret lab. And if you’re afraid that players might break the story mode, maybe publish a guide on the requirements for the lot to function normally.

I definitely would like to edit the lot and add some science equipment from GTW.

How is the science lab and career broken? I haven't played it in a long time.

Gardening is still messed up at the science lab , so if you need to grow plants , or need them for jobs you have to grow plants at home and bring a load to work with you

IE For making potions

I didn't know there was anything wrong with the scientist career. It's one of my faves, if not my most favourite.

I use a lab I downloaded and it already has plants outside so I have no problems gardening.

I see. I noticed part of that in other neighborhoods in that I had to move a Sim into or play a house in the neighborhood to get the plants to spawn. I didn't realize that this would prevent the Science Lab plants from spawning. I noticed it when my Vampires from other neighborhoods went to Forgotten Hollow to harvest Plasma Fruit.

@gettps I meant the secret lab... Oh, too bad we can't edit it.

Gardening is completely broken on community lots. Doesn't work at all. At the Science Lab, there are I think 5-6 gardening pots (a few are empty) that contain plants that never grow or blossom. They never dry out, never grow flowers, fruits, or vegetables, never need weeding. If you plant something in one of the empty pots, it'll grow to the "Blossoming" stage and freeze there, never actually blossoming.

So, since most Science career tasks require gardening, it's practically impossible to get a gold any given day without cheating.

Most tasks are like "Order a co-worker to garden", which is impossible because plants don't need gardening on community lots. Or, "Create a Rose-perfume serum", which is impossible because the rose-bush doesn't blossom.

Oh, I suppose you could grow ALL the potion ingredients at home, but then you'll need to carry dozens of ingredients with you all the time to work, which is horrible. Why should I take up space at home growing 10-20 different plants?

It is a pain, can't create a rose perfume serum to save my life because of the plants being messed up. I had to get my scientist sim to his house, use the cheat to show hidden objects and place a rose and a rose perfume serum via build mode. Then I cloned them a few times and voila. I'm sure there are easier ways, but this is the one I could think of. The devs need to concentrate on fixing these bugs before even thinking on starting another extension or pack, it's just annoying. And don't get me started on vampires not being able to use dark meditation... ugh!

Oh, I forgot... are those chemical analyzers from the secret lab available in build mode to use on any other lot? I did the bb.showhiddenobjects and for the life of me I still can find it.
