In science lab in Sims 4 can't put momentum consever into inventory

I have been able to get my scientice to build the momentum conserver but now what. I can't seem to move it to inventory and can't seem to get a new scientice to brainstorm with invertor of conserver ...

Is the momentum conserver still placed on the constructor? You must drag it to somewhere else to properly interact with it.

PS. The two options you get means that you are clicking on the constructor itself not the momentum conserver. Those are the two options available with the constructor when a finished item is still placed on it.

I have this exact same issue and cannot move the momentum conserver. There is a white highlight that shows up around it when I hover the cursor on it. Clicking brings up the one option to put in inventory but it's greyed out and doesn't work when clicked. When you click and drag it only moves the camera but does not do anything else. There is no option to turn off the machine, only and option to talk with the robot. Do you need to switch modes somehow to move it?

    I've just tested this and it works fine for me. You have to drag it out of the machine but if you have issues dragging, 

    - Did the Sim you try the dragging with built it ?

    - Have you tried repairing your game ?

    - Are you using any mods ?

        There's no fire truck in Sims 4. You have to put it out yourself.

        Are you using any mods in your game ?

    @lordtommy33

    You get the option to talk with the robot because you click on the constructor instead of the Momentum Conserver.

    You may find it easier to grab the MC if you zoom in on it.

      Uhm, no. I clicked on the momentum conserver, I did zoom in and like I said before the momentum conserver had a white highlight around it. It gives the option of "put in inventory" but that is greyed out.

      It's the same sim who built it. No mods being used at all. How would I "repair the game"? I watched a video of someone else doing it. Tried the exact same thing but it will not move the conserver, only moves my camera around. Is it a possible bug because it was not built on The same day I'm trying to pick it up?

        It seems that you are trying to drag it with the right mouse button which rotates the camera. Use the left mouse button.

        If you use a right handed mouse the buttons are switched.
