[OPEN] [GTW] Plants at science lab don't produce harvestables

[na5rud1n]

Me too. I even tried the cheat to debug the growth stage, with no luck. Hmmm...

On the other hand, it makes play a bit more realistic, when you have to go to work prepared with your own supplies. As a work around, I've taken to gardening at home and making sure I've got plants in the Sim's inventory to make sera, to plant and immediately water, etc.

I had the same problem, but if you purchase gifts from the computer you'll be able to get some flowers/plants and synthesize serums! Obviously it will cost a little, but not that much!

Same! It's makes hard to progress in some tasks with this issue.

@leozabotto Try the mod from @Psychotps - worked well for me before but haven't tried since the latest update.

Repost of the mod mentioned:
My mod "Scientist Career - Graveyard Shift and Gardening Fix" solves this problem by shifting the work hours to 12am-9am.  That way you are on the lot at 5am and the plants once again work properly.  The only down-side to my mod is, because you are now at the Science Lab at 5am, you are no longer on YOUR lot at 5am. So, on those days, any plants on your HOME lot won't spawn. I don't see that as much of a problem though, because you can still garden at the Science Lab on weekdays and your own lot on the weekends.

@KonekoFoxglove I've been finding that annoying myself. Every time my task bar has anything in it involving the plants, it's undoable. They never need tending of any kind and they never ripen. It's really aggravating as it limits you (when one shows up) to only 2 tasks at a time to increase your productivity.

Have had the bug where the science lab plants don't produce anything after being harvested once... the next time at the lab, they don't have anything on them.

@NerissaAdamaris The mod I made still works fine. I've been updating it when needed. I've been using it ever since and It completely solves the gardening problem in the science career.

FYI... for those in the science career, I've also added a mod that stops the Robot Parts from super-spawning on the chemistry lab.

I have this issue as well, and have had it for a long time. I thought at first it was because my plants were sheltered in the greenhouse, but then I got rid of the greenhouse and put all the plants outside, with no change. I will definitely try the mod from @Psychotps, thank you for making it

EA in a nutshell: It's almost the end 2020 and this issue still persists. I had this issue 2 years ago and I wanted to try the Sims 4 again now and what do you know? I can't water the plants at the science lab career, I can't even harvest them, because they don't grow. That being said, I'm definitely not going to buy any EA game anymore, but I will play them though (If you know what I mean) If they don't care, why should I?

This is also happening to me still in November 2020. It’s so annoying as it makes it hard to advance in the career as the career is obsessed with gardening still!!
