[BH] Several classes/lectures don't work

List of affected Classes:

Fabrication

List of affected Lectures:

Fabrication
Robotics
Research and Debate

I tried to start a Fabrication class using the whiteboard, and I noticed that my customers were not using the objects around, and I was only able to teach Rocket Science at the whiteboard after launching it.

It's a pretty easy to see the issue when I look at the tuning: the interaction to start the class launches a Rocket Science class situation instead for the instructor.

There is also an other issue while trying to hold a Fabrication Lecture, that I tested with no other mod installed other than the Better Exception: the interaction that is used to make sims join the class causes an issue (the issue is thrown every time a Sim joins the class):

Exception during call to test method on <class 'sims4.tuning.instances.simPicker_HobbyClass_Whiteboard_LectureFor_Fabrication'> (AttributeError: 'SimInfo' object has no attribute 'is_part')
Traceback (most recent call last):

I don't have this issue with other classes, so I don't know what is different here. Tested on multiple lots.

I found the cause: contrary to other hobbies classes broadcasters, the one from the fabrication class uses the "imPicker_HobbyClass_Whiteboard_LectureFor_Fabrication" interaction instead of the "sI_HobbyClass_ListenToLecture_Fabrication" interaction. So it's also a quick fix 🤩

I want to agree with DISL. This issue in particular has been a problem for six months, even though you've had the solution presented to you, you have zero investigation work to do here. Why is this still unresolved?? There hasn't been any communication ever since the issue (and solution) have first been presented. Communication around these issues is abysmal, as is the fact that you keep adding on to problems by releasing new sh*t faster than you solve it and progressingly make your own and your community's lives more miserable because of it.
