Materials for Science Career??

:/ Ok, so my sim is a scientist NOT a gardener - i keep continually being asked whilst at work to mix a slimify serum, but i dont have parsley or carrots.
i cant buy them, i cant find them, and i have been travelling around the lots to see if i can find some to harvest but nothing!

what can i do i am running out of ideas???

Those ingredients are at the science lab, I think. Check & there should be some to harvest.
I actually had to make someone in my household a gardener so my scientist would have necessary materials. I cheated though & used Debug, to pull out all the plant types I needed to plant. I now have a garden with high quality products for everything my scientist needs.

I think parsley comes in the seed pack you get when you're not even a gardener. Just click on one of the plant pots in the science venue and then click on the basic herb seed pack and you should get parsley, you can then use the seed that you purchased or plant some so you can have some for future reference. I think the same can be said for carrots but you need to buy the vegetable seed pack.

This. I always ask my sim to do that. Also, you might have to make the Reaper's Friend serum in the future. And you need to make a Death flower plant.

You will eventually need to level up his gardening so that he can graft plants.

Your sim will need apples, cherries (which you will need to find around town cuz you can't buy them), lily (you can't buy them too) and snapdragon (also, can't be bought from the seed packet).

i have tried the starter veg packet - no carrots there, and i never got parsley either. i just dont want to spend bloody hours gardening for them, pretty much cause im stuck at that serum at work. its getting really frustrating, i had my gardener sim come round and leave some on her counter but she cant pick them up - only eat them! ARGH!

The seeds in each starter packet are random, so you might have to buy more than one packet to get the seed you want. I think parsley comes in the herbs packet, not the vegetable packet.

If you have a garden at another household in the same save, I think you can visit that household and harvest the plants yourself to get plants that they have and you don't.

You can find carrots at the minipark in the northeast neighborhood of Oasis Springs. That's the neighborhood across the river from the dinosaur on the world map. You'll probably have to stay in the neighborhood for awhile to give them time to grow. I don't know where to find parsley but it's probably in one of the other neighborhoods or parks.

There is a carrot plant in OS town neighbourhood at the left end if looking inland from the water, if I remember rightly.

Truth be told, scientist carreer and gardening goes quite alot hand in hand.
Also it will take less time to have the plants at home then having to go all over the world whenever you need them.
You will need both plants and potions for some more objectives like when asked to clone a serum, make tainted ones, give serum to co-worker and so on.

So in short, Im afraid you will have to get gardening if you dont want to get stuck in progress of scientist career.

My scientist has done all her gardening in the science lab greenhouse.

Be aware that the parsley is in the herb packet, not the vegetable packet.

My sim will synthesize any of the serums except slimify, I have the carrots and parsley in her inventory but when I click on that serum she doesn't get any action appear in her action bar and it's really annoying.

Hello @Tattycakes .
I am sorry that you are having the issues with that serum.

Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders.
