Need Recommendation: Renovated or Rebuilt Science Lab...

1) Not yet but I am trying to gather dark energy to do it :lol:

I definitely think the scientists need new lab with some robotics, mother, hoverbeds, etc. more futuristic stuff I guess but I'm considering if I should get Batuu before I dive too deep into it cause it does have some build suited for such project and I am still waiting confirmation if the scifi kit did actually lose or win the vote cause it does sound just about perfect for science lab project

2) no idea

3) Idk my sims have not found the travel too exhausting ,and they could always take the rocket to work

but if it matters then yeah Oasis or Strangerville probably, Del Sol Valley might also work?

4) also no idea my aliens always out themselves :sweat_smile:

When I started the Too many Toddlers scenario, I started with what it stated but then added the man whom I wanted as the father in after moving the mother and kids in the house. I just can't change the relationship status to show that he's the dad. I guess once I'm done with the scenario then I can hopefully change his status as being their father.

1. I did build a new one but haven't gotten around to renovating the EA one yet. I have it on the Gallery (SweetieWright_84) if you're interested.

2. I'm not 100% sure but I think unless a scenario calls for more than one Sim, it won't let you add another. I think it cancels the scenario in CAS. As far as live mode, I would think it would cancel it. I've only play 2 or 3 scenarios though, so I'm not too experienced.

3. It does aesthetically and realistically make sense but I have my sims live wherever they can afford. I don't focus too much on their place of work.

4. Your guess is as good as mine. As I said in another thread (I think one of yours), my aliens always out themselves because they can't stop reading sims' minds.

This is my Too Many Toddlers scenario that I had started with just the mother and 3 toddlers that I moved into their house. Then added the 5th sim whom I wanted to be the dad of the kids and it didn't cancel out the scenario. I just can't edit their relationship to show him as their dad but I'm hoping that when I do get it done that I can then add him as their dad. It only cancels it out if you create more than what you need in CAS as it won't let you hit continue until you get rid of the extra sims.

Hey SweetieWright_84 Had fun looking through your catalogue in the Gallery but didn't spot a laboratory. Maybe help me out please? Other neat works on there though! :o

According to the lot in my Library it says it hasn't been shared. Sorry about that. I'm having issues connecting to the Gallery right now but as soon as I can connect, I'll add it. I'll edit this comment when it's up.

Edit: It's uploaded. I also showcased it so you could find it easier.

I have a lab for you!! I rebuilt the lot because it was too dark and awkwardly built. It has a lot from the strangerville and discover university packs (including the mother plant in the sub basement). Its been playtested. I am #sarabeth6701d on the Gallery
There are a lot of awesome science lab builds out there. You might want to set your search setting under "Generic lots."
Hope this helps! https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/47F1A7F28DA411EA8AC6D8331C484446
Some Photos below. I need to revamp this lot since we have new packs now.
They are in spoiler below
Its a little bland outside. I am a lab tech and have always worked in a lab, believe me, this fairly typical of most laboratory buildings (unfortunately)

And the fun part! The basement. Where there's some suspicious activity (all purely decorative) https://i.imgur.com/GjDqBdX.png
And the transplanted mother plant. Your sim can actually interact with her. She mostly just growls and roars at your sims. But it adds personality to the build. https://i.imgur.com/35Wwnup.png
Enjoy!

I can totally recommend this science lab, which I have used ever since I discovered it years ago:

I edited it only slightly when Strangerville came out to add a few more science-y things in, but it is fab as it is and only uses the GTW pack. As for where your scientist can live, I don't see why they couldn't commute to the nearby desert from anywhere. One of my scientists does live in Strangerville but the other one lives in Newcrest :) It's only a train journey away ;)

Yeah, I made a family, man, woman, and teen for the mentoring scenario. Moved the daughter and mother into a household of their own started the scenario with them, and put the father by himself ( they were not married ) with another household, Later after the scenario was going for the mother and daughter I moved him in.

4. Having your Sim write in a private journal and/or play the violin, goes a long way toward being mindful of their emotions.
