Missing fabrication unlocks

Some are unlocked through the Civic Designer career and others I have learned through the Master Crafter lady. She randomly approached my sim and gave me a few blueprints.

Who is the master crafter lady? 

There's an interaction under friendly, something like "talk about fabrication" with a respective little fabricator icon. When using it in conversation with any sim it sometimes gives a new blueprint. About 50% chance as far as I can tell. You get notification whether you learned smth or not either way.

After maxing the Fabrication skill I could not find the Fabricated Couch and Fabricated Desk as options to craft using the Store No More Home Fabricator. Also tested with same Sim entering the Civil Designer career. In the Civil Designer Career / Green Technician branch there were additional food items that could be fabricated but not those items. The couch and desk were not available to craft in the Civil Planner branch either.

Both Fabricated Couch and Fabricated Desk are in debug (used bb.showhiddenobjects cheat).
I suspect they can be found by diving into the dumpster.
That would explain them not being on the crafting menu to fabricate.

I got the fabricated couch from the master crafter lady. You can talk to her about fabricating and she might teach you some new things to craft.

I have a current issue with the fabrication unlocks from the Civil Designer career, none of the unlocks are being unlocked at all, not even the vacuum thing, I've made drafts using the new tablet that is unlocked in the Civil Designer career and so far nothing is being unlocked, I didn't have this issue in my previous save, but in my new save its a constant annoyance. How do we unlock stuff that is unlockable for the fabrication machine?

I got the fabricated couch and desk from Enthuse about Fabrication iteration .

I still miss one floor lamp. There are two type of floor lamp, the first one you can learn at lvl 5 fabrication. Someone unlocked the second one?

The meat wall, smog vacuum and food fabrication recipes are unlocked starting around level 5 in the Green Technician branch of the Civil Designer career. If you chose the Civic Planner branch, those options don't unlock automatically.

**Edit: I have played the Civic Planner all the way to level 10 now, and although you don't get the fabrication recipes unlocked as you climb the career levels, I was delighted to find out that you DO get them unlocked. They appear to unlock by having Perfect Design Concepts accepted. For me, this started at level 9, so I can't say if it's tied to your career level, too, as I was never able to submit Perfect designs until I hit level 9. But it's obvious that it has something to do with the acceptance:

There are also several fabrication items available via the "Enthuse about Fabrication" social interaction, and sometimes one of the Master Crafter sims will show up at your door and say they have something for you. If you invite them in, you'll be gifted various things - sometimes actual objects, and sometimes secret recipes for the fabricator. I've also had Master Crafter sims just volunteer the information autonomously during a conversation. So, talk with and make friends at your local community lot. Different Master Crafter sims show up quite often if you have a Crafter's space, but you can also meet Tina Tinker just about anywhere. Make her a friend and eventually she will gift you all the fabrication items.

Hope this helps! Happy simming!
