It's weird, they didn't think it through. Career promotion cheat ?

My sim is a sim in black. I had her work from home and her home assignment is to search for StrangerVille evidence. To do this she needs to go to the lab and search for evidence there. But, I completed the story with her mother and there is no evidence to be found there. She cannot click on any of the evidence spots. I tried on the off chance that bugging the military and scientists might help but no.
So now I cannot complete this assignment and looks like I'll have stop her working from home now for fear she'll lose work progress which is a shame because she has a baby/soon to be toddler and that would have helped out a lot.
Am I missing something obvious that will work or is this just something I can't get done?

You'll have to revive The Mother to be able to search for evidence. Reviving her won't start the infection of Sims.

That's odd. Must be something else wrong. First thing I did after completing Strangerville was create two sims and sent each one down the two military paths. Never had a problem... well, did have one problem. The Sim in Black kept getting the daily task "Search the stars with a telescope", problem is, it can't be completed in a single day. Can't win with that one.

I think I found the problem, I can't be sure as I tried on a different sim but, when I sent my sim to the lab, he couldn't collect evidence either until I had him examine the door. Then the option to search came up. I forgot about that detail before with my military sim.

Interesting. Maybe it was a random daily task that I just didn't get? My two military sims were also in Newcrest. (I wanted to see if the military careers were available outside of Strangerville.) If yours were still in Strangerville, that might be why you got that task and I didn't.
