Robotics not working at level 10
Having an issue with robotics. Once my sim hit level 9 or 10 in Robotics (I'm not sure exactly when it broke), the workstation no longer would allow sim to update the cleaner bot. The only options are to "Use" and put on the workstation. Use does nothing because the bot is currently broken...or maybe it just does nothing because it doesn't work. Anyway, I can no longer "activate" the bot. When you put it on the workstation, you can only investigate equip failures and practice welding techniques instead of being able to enhance and repair it. Also, the workstation no longer is crediting the sim with having robot salvage parts or electronic upgrade parts even though the sim's inventory has plenty of these parts, so now I can't build a new cleaner bot or any other bots. I tried deleting the workstation and purchasing a new one in case that fixed it, but it still didn't work.
@sperry05 My sim with level 10 in Robotics can enhance a Utili-bot, the Cleaner Bot. After the robot gets to level 10 I cannot enhance them any more, but they do have lots of other options on them. I have noticed they sometimes need to have been activated for awhile, for the option to enhance them to turn up.
There was a bug for the required items being duplicated, but it was fixed in patch 1.59.73. Is that what you mean by the upgrade parts not being credited?

According to the posts in this bug report the robots need to be taken care of, unless they will fully break down after some time:

What patch are you on? You can see it in a file in The Sims 4 folder, called GameVersion.txt.Do you use mods and CC?
Could you post a picture of the options you see on the Cleaner Bot?
