Scientist Career Guide

The Scientist career is one of the 3 active careers in The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack where you can follow your Sims to his or her workplace. If you choose for the Scientist career you’ll be working in the Science Lab. Your Sim will be able to conduct science experiments and invent new technology. Start the Scientist career as a Lab Tech and advance in your career to eventually become a Mad Scientist .

Inside the Science Lab

The Science is only accessible when you need to work as a Scientist. Join your Sim at their workday or manage your Sims at home. When working in the Science Lab you can find different objects you can use like the Chemical Analyzer, Chemistry Lab, Microscope, Rocket Ship and even plants so you can use them for your Serums.

Improve your Career Performance

Start your workday by being Happy or better by being Focused. You can do this by browsing Simpedia on the Computer at home to gain a +1 Focused moodlet for 4 hours. You can also use cheats to gain a +2 Focused moodlet for 12 hours. The best way to improve career performance are:

  • Going to work with a positive emotion (Focused).
  • Completing the Daily Task (get Breakthroughs).
  • Maintaining high relationships with Co-workers.
  • Learn and level up the Logic Skill to get a better result if you are analyzing samples on the Chemical Analyzer.
  • Learn and level up the Handiness Skill incase equipment breaks down.

Unlock Serums and Inventions with Breakthroughs

As a scientist, your Sim will want to invent new technology. In order to create new inventions, they must do research. When your Sim researches or experiments they will begin to build Breakthrough (identified by a light bulb on interactions). When they have a Breakthrough a new invention or serum will become available to them. These can be viewed in the notebook (located at the top of the phone menu) to view crafting notes.

Sims who are higher in the scientist career will have a better chance at creating a device that actually works. You can get breakthroughs in different ways:

  • Collect collectibles
  • Chat with the Invention Constructor
  • Performing Experiments
  • Reading Books
  • Taking Showers
  • While Gardening
  • Doing creative things
  • Brushing Teeth

Scientist Career Inventions

Using the Invention Constructor

In the Science Lab there is a machine called the Invention Constructor. It is located when you walk into the Science Lab through the 2 hallways all the way to the back, turn left. This machine is pretty special because you can actually build a relationship with this machine. Use the option to ‘Chat with Robot’ to build up your relationship. There is also an option to Brainstorm with the Robot, this will help your Sim getting a Breakthrough or get some spare (upgrade) parts.

To invent something click on the machine and choose ‘Invent Device’. Sometimes you will need materials to build an invention, these can be gathered by asking coworkers for the materials, around the Science Lab or on Sixam. When you need to upgrade an Invention, drag the invention on the Invention Constructor.

Looks fun ! can’t wait for the release . 🙂

What a comprehensive guide! Wonderful job!

Wow!! All the careers look so fun!! I think this one looks the best though!! 😀

EA bought his assistant to Tony Stark

How about The gardning asepct of The scienctis that Are Foundat ion in The notebook, how do i get that Working?

You can just start leveling your gardening and create serums. It will be automatically added to your notebook when you discover something.

Hello, great site. I noticed the Embiggen Serum did not have the requirements posted? It’s 2 Plantains and 2 Apples, just in case you needed them, though I’m sure it is just an oversight. Thanks for making a very informative site and a joy to read. 🙂

Thank you very much! added it to the list.

I am trying to make the age away serum and I am not sure how to get an alien crystal, I have vistied the alien world dug up all the rocks and harvested all the plants imaginable yet it says I have no alien crystal, any help?

When creating the generator it says It need metal , crystals an any element what does that mean?

Hey I’ve got this text bug thing on my game and it wont show me what I need to build the satellite dish and when i was looking at the invention part for the satellite dish it doesn’t say. I was hoping you could tell me what I need thanks 🙂

I had my sim drink 3 normal serums, however, the tainted serum option is still grayed out. Is there a way to fix this or am I doing something wrong?

You will have to test 3 of the same normal serums on a Sim first.

Please help 🙁 I’m level 7 of the scientist career; at the beginning of the career i was able to mix serums with the chemistry lab but now it won’t let me, its only giving me the options of ‘Tinker’, ‘Experiment’ and ‘Push big red button’ , i’ve tried on different chemistry labs and even adding new ones but all of them are saying the same, please help i have no idea what else to do! thanks

I’m having the same issue with the chemistry lab. I’m level 9 though. It’s very frustrating.

I’m level 6 and also having the same problem. Very frustrating!

I looked into this earlier today and found out that the patch did break the chemistry set for active Scientists in the career. According to Crinrict, scientists that were once in the career have a hidden trait to indicate such, but active Scientists didn’t get the trait making the lab seem broke. The fix is to quit the career and then join again, using cheats to promote your Sim back up to where they were. Here is a link for more information about the workaround. Happy Simming!

http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2016/03/scientist-can-only-experiment-on-the-chemestry-lab/

Thanks a lot for sharing this really useful tip!

Does anyone know where the rocket is in the science lab…my sim has to work on it and i’ve searched everywhere….Please Help! 🙂

left behind receptionist, the box…. click and build

sorry bad english…

View a piece of art? I’m seriously overlooking whatever this may be…

Choosing the right job for your Sims is often very important. Not only does it help define the personalities of your Sims, but it also has a significant impact on how you play those Sims. This is especially true for what is known as active jobs, which require you to play the Sim the entire time they are at work rather than them disappearing while they’re at work and returning home on their own afterward.

So, before you decide to have one of your Sims join the scientist career, here is everything you need to know about it to see if it sounds fun to play through.

Key Info Up Front

  • Expansion:  Get To Work
  • Branches:  1
  • Unique Mechanics:  Inventions, Serums

Scientist Career Overview

Sims 4 Scientist Career Guide

The scientist career is one of my favorite active careers in  Sims 4 because of how fun its tasks are and how big of an impact it can have on your playthrough. It does so by giving you access to numerous serums and inventions that each serve a unique purpose in the game and can help you make the most of your time within the career.

As you progress through the career’s rank, you’ll also get the ability to tell co-workers what to do during the day to help you gather resources, unlock scientist-themed clothing options for your Sims, and will even allow you to visit the alien homeworld of Sixam.

When it comes to playing a scientist Sim you don’t have to worry too much about their personality and traits. The Focused trait doesn’t grant any benefits really because it is an active job, but Geek does align itself well with the job because the lab venue your Sim will travel to for work is filled with materials and collectibles that you can grab on the job.

This also makes the career work well for Sims with the Curator life aspiration because you’ll have such easy access to collectibles. Just remember to water the plants around the office so that you can keep harvesting them.

Like other active jobs, every day your Sim goes to work, you will be given tasks that have to be completed throughout your shift. You can find more detail on the specific tasks for this career below.

Some days when your Sim goes to work, you’ll also discover that there is a special event happening that day, such as aliens breaking into the lab. I won’t be covering these events because they make playing through the career much more fun and surprising, and they are straightforward to play through when they come up.

Playing as a scientist also gives your Sim their notebook. This will be your best friend while playing a scientist Sim as it contains all the recipes for your Sims’ recipes and serums so that you can check to see what ingredients you need to be gathered for any you want to make. It also has a section regarding breeding new species of plants if your Sim is into gardening as well.

The final part of playing a scientist that may take some time to get used to is getting breakthroughs. These can hit your Sim at any time while they perform tasks like browsing Simpedia on their computer, thinking about chess moves, drinking black tea, or anything that raises the Logic stat.

This is an essential part of playing a scientist, as it is the only way to unlock new inventions and serums for your Sim to make at work.

Scientist Career Ranks

Lab technician.

sims 4 perform experiments

This first rank serves as an introduction for your Sim into the scientist career. While they’re at this level, they work the standard Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, which is consistent regardless of your Sim’s status in the career.

For their time, you, Sims, will make $216 a day. To get promoted, they have to raise their performance and have two breakthroughs, which will unlock the Synthetic Food serum and Momentum Conserver invention.

Apprentice Inventor

Once your Sim gets their first promotion as a scientist, they will be rewarded with some snazzy new clothing options, an extra $192, and the stylish Journey to the Stars poster. While they are an Apprentice Inventor, their pay is increased to $32/hour, which comes out to a decent $288 each day. For their next promotion, they again have to unlock two breakthroughs to open the Red Hot Serum and the SimRay invention.

Junior Tinkerer

When your Sim becomes a Junior Tinkerer, they will unlock more clothes, a $256 bonus, and can buy the Flying Saucer Table Lamp to decorate the lab or their house. They’ll also receive a pay raise of $39/hour or $351 every day they work.

Their next promotion will again come from getting two more breakthroughs, these unlocking the Rose Perfume serum and the Hover Lamp invention.

Serum Sequencer

Chemistry Lab

Your Sim’s promotion to level four will give them a bonus of $312, but the most significant benefit is the ability to purchase a Chemistry Lab to have at home so that your Sim can make serums when they’re away from work. For their hard work, they’ll also have their pay increased to $48/hour or $432 each day.

To reach the next level, they’ll need to have two more breakthroughs yet again, these unlocking the Snake Oil serum and Satellite Dish invention.

Technological Innovator

Technological Innovators are rewarded with a one-time bonus of $384, new clothing options, and the SIM5-4 Test Tube Pedestal decoration. Your Sim’s pay will also get a significant boost to $72/hour or $648 each day they work.

As you probably guessed, they’ll also have to achieve two more breakthroughs, these unlocking the Slimify serum and the Cloning Machine invention.

Once your Sim gets promoted to level six, you’ll unlock the Cautionary Tale Door and the X-180 Shatterproof Window in the build menu, as well as a $576 bonus. Their pay will also bump up quite a bit again, this time to $102/hour or $918 a day.

The following two breakthroughs required for your Sim’s next promotion will unlock the Ghost Goo serum and the Electrolux Wormhole Generator invention.

Laboratory Leader

sims 4 perform experiments

Getting promoted to Laboratory Leader comes with the ability to give orders to your co-workers. This is one of the most significant benefits of playing through the scientist career, as your co-workers can then gather the materials that you need for your serums and inventions, vastly cutting down on the time it takes to make each one.

Getting the promotion will also see your Sim receiving a bonus of $816 and will allow them to buy the Hygienic Decontamination Pod shower, which is good. At this level, your Sim will make $142/hour or $1278 every day, while their next two required breakthroughs will unlock the Need Fixer and Embiggen serums.

Pioneer of New Technologies

This promotion will give your Sim some more scientist-themed clothing options as well as a bonus of $1136. It also comes with another sizable pay increase of $187/hour, which adds up to $1683 every work day. Your Sim will again have to get two more breakthroughs before getting promoted, which will unlock the Spark Drive and Ox Strength serums for them to make.

Mad Scientist

For reaching level nine in this career path, your Sim will get even more access to themed clothing and a big bonus of $1496. Their hourly rate increases to $215, which adds to $1935 every day. Their final two required breakthroughs will unlock the Smart and Fixer’s Luck serum as well.

Extraterrestrial Explorer

sims 4 perform experiments

Once your Sim makes it to the Extraterrestrial Explorer level, they will have no higher to go in this career path. They did it! For their hard work, they’ll get a $1720 bonus, more scientist clothes, the option to buy the stylish Out of This World Desktop computer, and a pre-built room that is a fully kitted-out laboratory.

Your Sim can’t stop going to work just yet, though, as they’ll get $247/hour or $2223 every day. Their work can also unlock three final serums called Reaper’s Friend, Alien Aura, and Age-Away.

Scientist Career Tasks

Every day that your Sim goes to work, they will be given some tasks that they are required to get done to raise their job performance. You’ll want your job performance to be as high as possible. Otherwise, it will take considerably more time for them to get promoted to the next career level. If you have a hard time completing the tasks for a day within your Sim’s regular work hours, you can have them stay late to get them done, but doing anything after your job performance is maxed out for the day won’t give you any bonuses.

It is also essential to know that if you get your Sim’s tasks done early, you cannot have them leave work, as going early will give them a hefty performance penalty. Most of the daily tasks that you will have unless there is a special event day going on. The lessons will have you making your new inventions, testing them out, and eventually upgrading them as well as making serums and examining them under the lab’s microscope.

To create these inventions and serums, you’ll have to gather the required materials, which can mostly be found throughout the lab’s lot. Once you reach a high enough level, you will also be able to get your co-workers to help you find them, which can save you a lot of time. If a serum that you need to make requires a ubiquitous material, you can also order it by interacting with one of the garden planters on the lot, as the function is turned off on computers while you are working.

Scientist Career Inventions

Inventions are created by interacting with the Invention Constructor. Once the design is completed, you then have to have your Sim retrieve it from the machine so that it can be placed in the world and used. Most inventions require specific materials before they can be made, and a complete list with all of the details is below.

Momentum Conserver

Momentum Conserver

  • Scientist Level:  1
  • Resources:  None

This is the first invention that your Sim can produce, so it is straightforward and doesn’t even require any material inputs to build it. Once you have a completed one, you can place it as decoration. Then, your Sims can interact with it to gain the Focused moodlet, which can help your Sims progress through the career path faster, so I recommend putting at least one in your laboratory.

  • Scientist Level:  2
  • Resources:  1 Common Crystal, 1 Common Metal

The SimRay is the flagship invention of the Sim scientist. It is capable of many wondrous functions that have to be unlocked by upgrading it as you rise through the career’s ranks. At first, it is only capable of freezing other Sims, trapping them in ice for a limited time unless another Sim helps chisel them out. The other functions that you will unlock by upgrading the SimRay are below.

  • Transform Objects: This upgrade is unlocked at level three and allows you to change everyday items from one to another randomly. Using this on cheaper objects that you have no use for is a great way to earn some extra cash when you need it.
  • Mind Control: Change Clothes:  This level four upgrade allows you to make other Sims that you can’t control change into any outfit that you want, making it exceptionally useful for roleplayers and storytellers.
  • Mind Control: Clean:  At level five, you’ll unlock this upgrade that allows you to make other Sims clean the surrounding area. The best part is that it makes them want to do it, so you don’t have to feel too bad about making them do it.
  • Mind Control: Sit:  This sixth-level upgrade allows you to make other Sims want to sit down somewhere. Not super helpful, but it’s there if you ever need it.
  • Mind Control: Eat:  This upgrade at the seventh level allows you to make other Sims eat whatever food is near them.
  • Mind Control: Sleep:  At level eight, your Sim will be able to upgrade their SimRay to force other Sims to sleep, which is a cruel way for a rebellious teen to do what they want for a short time.
  • Mind Control: Panic:  This ninth-level upgrade allows your Sim to make others freak out for a limited time, likely just for your amusement.
  • Transform Sim:  This is the final SimRay upgrade and makes randomized appearance changes to other Sims. Some crazy outcomes can come from this option, so use it at your own risk.

Hover Lamp

  • Materials:  None

The Hover Lamp is another material-free invention that serves as a placeable decoration. Similar to the Momentum Conserver, if a Sim interacts with the Hover Lamp, they can get a Focused moodlet that will increase their performance.

Satellite Dish

  • Materials:  3 Common Crystals, 3 Common Metals

This invention comes with a variety of uses, some of which can only be unlocked after reaching level eight in the scientist’s career and upgrading it. The first batch of services revolves around aliens. These include communicating with aliens (which increases the chance of abduction), preventing abductions for 24 hours, and detecting aliens (after it is upgraded).

However, it can also be used to broadcast signals that have an effect on every other Sim in the neighborhood. These include putting every Sim to sleep, making them all come to a random dance party, making every Sim angry, making them all go to the bathroom, and giving every Sim an Inexplicably Happy moodlet.

Cloning Machine

Momentum Conserver

  • Materials:  2 Common Crystals, 2 Common Metals

The Cloning Machine is another invention that a level eight scientist can upgrade. At first, a successfully built Cloning Machine can clone any item placed into it. This is another excellent way for your Sim to make some extra cash if need be, but it can also be used to save money by doing things like cloning food for free.

Once it is upgraded, however, you can use it to clone Sims! It is important to note, though, that the cloned Sims do not come with any of the skill progress or Career of the original, essentially making them clean slates that start from the beginning all over again.

Electroflux Wormhole Generator

  • Materials:  2 Any Element, 2 Uncommon Crystals, 2 Uncommon metals

This is the final invention in the scientist’s career, and at first, it doesn’t seem very useful. When it is first built, your Sims can use it to Attempt Alien Contact and Test Alien Environment. These are primarily useful for giving your Sims the Focused moodlet as well as unlocking breakthroughs to advance their careers further. However, once your

Sim reaches level ten in the scientist career; it can be upgraded to allow them to travel to the alien homeworld of Sixam. Sixam is a very visually impressive hidden area in the expansion. Also, it will enable you to forage and mine for rare resources that are necessary to complete collections or can be sold to make easy money.

Scientist Career Serums

Similar to the inventions above, scientists can also craft a variety of serums that each have their unique benefits when taken. These are prepared at Chemistry Labs, which you can even get in your Sim’s home to let you make them whenever you wish. The serums and their effects are detailed below.

1. Synthetic Food

Synthetic Food

  • Materials:  2 Any Plant

This serum is the most basic of all of them and fills a Sim’s hunger meter.

  • Materials:  Basil

This serum can be given to a Sim to make them angry for a limited amount of time.

3. Rose Perfume

Rose Perfume

  • Materials:  Rose

You can give this serum to any Sim to make them feel flirty, making romantic interactions with them more successful.

4. Snake Oil

  • Materials:  Daisy

This serum is a handy one that allows you to cure any Sim that happens to fall sick with anything.

https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Fitness_(attribute)?file=FitnessScale_TS2.png

  • Materials:  2 Carrot, 2 Parsley

The Slimify serum is used to change the physical appearance of a Sim so that they get slimmer with ease.

6. Ghost Goo

  • Materials:  3 Mushroom

Sims who drink this serum are temporarily turned into ghosts and get all of the benefits and negatives that that entails for the duration.

7. Need Fixer

  • Materials:  2 Common Metal, Spinach

This serum is extremely powerful, and it fills all of the Sim’s needs instantly when they drink it.

8. Embiggen

Slimify

  • Materials:  2 Apple, 2 Plantain

This serum is the opposite of Slimify, instead making a Sim bigger when they drink it.

9. Spark Drive

  • Materials:  Common Crystal, Strawberry

When a Sim drinks this serum, they are given an Energized mood. This is a great way to provide them with extra energy so that they can get more done during their day, especially if they are busy and have a lot of things that they need to get done.

10. Ox Strength

sims 4 perform experiments

  • Materials:  Common Crystal, 2 Spinach

Sims who drink this serum will gain a permanent muscle mass increase, making them stronger and changing their physical appearance.

  • Materials:  2 Apple, 2 Chrysanthemum

Drinking this serum gives your Sim access to a sixth mood, which can be a range of different possibilities. This makes it a dangerous serum to use, as it can either help improve your Sim’s mood beyond what is ordinarily possible, or it can make their mood even worse than usual.

12. Fixer’s Luck

  • Materials: 2 Upgrade Parts

This serum is very situational but is still valid. Its effect lasts for eight hours, letting your Sim repair objects incredibly fast as well as rewarding them with extra Upgrade Parts when they complete Tinkering and Salvaging actions.

13. Reaper’s Friend

Death's Flower

  • Materials:  Alien Crystal, Death’s Flower

This serum is very expensive since you need a Death’s Flower to create it, but a Sim that drinks it is much more capable of avoiding death when the time comes.

14. Alien Aura

  • Materials:  Alien Crystal, Alien Metal, Alien Plant

Another powerful serum, Alien Aura, gives Sim limited-time access to alien brain powers. These allow the Sim to analyze the personalities of others, adopt their emotional state for themselves, resurrect dead aliens, erase memories, or transmute any elements, metals, and crystals that are in the world to another one.

15. Age-Away

  • Materials:  2 Alien Crystal, Quill Fruit, Xenopetrium

This serum is another costly one to brew, but it resets the age of any Sim who drinks it back to day 1. With enough dedication to gathering the resources, this is a cheat-free way to make your Sims immortal, which is a great way to get just a few more things done before you move on to their next of kin.

Active jobs can be a ton of work in  Sims 4 , but the scientist career track is my favorite of the ones currently in the game. This is because of just how many unique benefits come along with helping a Sim progress through the career.

Being able to use inventions and serums wherever you want opens up a ton of great interactions and opportunities that make playing a scientist unique while also helping the time investment in the career feel worthwhile.

Question: What Expansion Pack is the Active Scientist Career in for Sims 4 ?

Answer: The scientist job is included with the Get to Work expansion.

Question: How do you Complete the Scientist Career in  Sims 4 ?

Answer: To progress through the career levels, your Sim has to maintain good job performance as well as trigger breakthrough moments to come up with new inventions and serums to make.

Question: What Skills do Scientists Need in  Sims 4 ?

Answer: Scientist Sims rely most heavily on Logic, so make sure to level up that skill consistently while you play.

One of the new careers that comes with The Sims 4 Get to Work is the Scientist career. The first level of the Scientist career takes place between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Just like with the other two careers, when it is time to leave for work you will receive a prompt asking whether you want to send them alone or follow them. If you opt to send them alone, it will function just like a regular career. If, however, you choose to go with them, you can control them throughout the work day.

03-30-15_9-48 PM

After a short loading screen, your Sim will arrive at the Science Lab, located in the middle of a dry desert. As soon as the work day starts, your Sim will be assigned goals. Unlike the Detective career, the goals are random and not part of a fixed chain. These goals often involve using science equipment or interacting with co-workers.

The Science Lab contains a wide range of machines which can be used to perform scientific experiments. If your Sim is not carrying any plant samples to experiment with, there is an indoor garden with harvestable plants. If your Sim gets hungry,  there is a snack machine on the second floor. Of course, like all careers lots, this can all be customized with the bb.enablefreebuild cheat.

03-30-15_9-52 PM

At the start of the career, The Chemical Analyzer can be used to create and analyze Elements and Flora. Elements can be created by using the Practice Analysis interaction, whereas Flora can be found in the garden at the Science Lab.

03-30-15_9-58 PM

The Chemistry Lab allows Sims to mix various Serums. At first, only the Synthetic Food Serum is available, which will increase a Sim’s Hunger need. Your Sim can collect ingredients used for Serums from the garden.

03-30-15_10-02 PM

The Invention Constructor is where Sims invent various objects. Not only that, but it even has a built in robot that Sims can interact with. There is also an option to Brainstorm, which can presumably be used to unlock new ideas for inventions.

03-30-15_10-52 PM

At the start of the career, the Microscope can be used to analyze Plant Samples, which can be collected from the garden.

Ready for some astonishing discoveries? Join the Scientist Career and become a scientist to be reckoned with. Read on to learn how to start, what your promotion tasks will be, and how to rank up!

Join The Scientist Career And Make Groundbreaking Inventions!

The Sims 4: Get To Work features three amazing active careers, and Scientist Career is one of them! It’s time to brainstorm, make some groundbreaking discoveries, and be inventive. Being an active career , this one demands your full involvement, as you will have to work on completing daily tasks with your Sim, instead of just sending them off to work. There are 10 levels for you to conquer, and if you do everything well and rank up, you may even get a chance to encounter aliens and travel to Sixam . Sounds fun? Here is all you need to know about this career!

Ideal Mood, Compatible Traits, and Aspirations

The most useful mood you can have as a scientist in Sims 4 will be focused . No specific traits give notable boosts, but probably the most compatible ones are Genius, Cheerful, and Geek. The Genius trait is great for getting randomly focused. Cheerful Sims are more likely to feel happy, which can help battle negative moodlets they can get when using serums and inventions, and help them perform better. The Geek personality trait ties well with the career theme but won’t give you any special extra advantages. The Curator aspiration is probably the most useful and compatible since your Sim will need to do a lot of collecting as they progress in their Scientist career.

What It’s Like To Work At The Lab?

Scientist Career 1

As a scientist, your Sim will work with fellow scientists at the Science Lab. All your daily tasks will be listed in the career menu, and shown in the upper left corner of your screen, where you can track your progress. This will change every workday once you arrive at the lab. Besides creating key inventions and serums required for promotion (listed in the table below), this can also include simple activities, such as practicing analysis, socializing with coworkers, upgrading the Sim-Ray, or even watering plants in your lab! Some take just minutes, while others, such as making serums, take more time to accomplish.

When you arrive at work, the game will notify you about the main theme of your work day. You may have aliens infiltrate the lab, have daily experimentation days, or collect days, when you can focus on digging for collectibles needed for making serums and inventions.

How To Have Scientific Breakthroughs?

Scientist Career 2

Having breakthroughs is essential for promotion on all levels. Look at these as random eureka moments. Your Sim can get them while browsing Simpedia, running on a treadmill, using a microscope, experimenting at the chemistry lab, having a thoughtful shower, pondering chess moves, or reading a book – just to name some. Scientists will need 2 extra breakthroughs every time they level up. Every interaction with an object that can provide a breakthrough will show with a lightbulb symbol. And, if your Sim gets a breakthrough, they will also get a light bulb above their head.

Serums And Inventions

Besides breakthroughs, to level up your Sim will also need to make serums and inventions. We will list the ingredients needed for all serums and inventions below, but if in doubt, you can check the ingredients in your Sim’s notebook. While you will need to create both serums and inventions at the first 6 levels, your focus will be entirely on making serums on the next levels.

Once your Sim becomes the Laboratory Leader at level 7, they will unlock the ability to give orders to coworkers in the lab, which is a great time-saver. You can order them to analyze crystals, experiment, invent, work on the rocket, or even visit aliens! Now, onto making serums and inventions!

Scientist Career 3

To reach the top of the career, your Sim will need to make 15 different serums , and most of those have a decent value. You’ll need plants to make them, so buy seed packets and plant plants at the lab or at home as early as you can. Once you have all the ingredients just use the chemistry lab.

Your Sim will need to test serums, though. They can do this themselves, or give serums to coworkers to try via Test Serum social interaction, which is a better option since they can give some negative moodlets if tainted. Once you make a serum, if you are past level 5, you can also use the cloning machine to duplicate them, which requires zero materials.

Scientist Career 4

All inventions are made with the Invention Constructor at the lab. There are 6 of them, and they all have a special effect. SimRay, Satelite Dish, Cloning Machine, and the Electroflux Wormhole Generator can also be upgraded on higher levels to unlock additional functions. To upgrade them, just drag them to Invention Constructor!

You will need to collect metals and crystals to construct some of these devices, and you can dig for them near your lab, or ask your coworkers if they have some. To get elements, follow this guide . Here are all of the inventions listed, along with the materials needed for their construction and the effect they have on Sims:


(Level 1)
/ – Puts everyone to sleep.
– Makes everyone want to use the bathroom.
– Makes everyone happy for 2h.

(Level 6)
 uncommon metal 2x uncommon crystal 2x any element 2xCan be used to attempt alien contact, test an alien environment, or calibrate. When upgraded at level 10, it can be used for traveling to Sixam.

Wrapping It Up!

The Scientist Career is one of the game’s most fun and lucrative careers. Besides the salary, Sims can also earn decent amounts from transforming objects with Sim-Ray, copying objects, or even selling collectibles they don’t need. Besides completing daily tasks, they will also get to interact with aliens, especially on higher levels, which adds extra sauce to this career!

The Sims 4: Get to Work , which was released on March 30, 2015, is the first expansion pack of the popular franchise. This expansion pack revolves around work life and allows players to take an active role in their Sims' careers by introducing active careers. Get To Work also provides numerous other gameplay features that allow players to deeply engage in the lives of their Sims.

Related: The Sims 4: Ranking Every Expansion Pack From Worst To Best

Active Careers, previously known as Professions, is one of the most significant additions to the game, which brings back a popular feature from The Sims 3 Ambitions . This feature provides an immersive gameplay experience for careers in The Sims 4 , allowing players to join their Sims at work. This means that Sims won't simply disappear into a rabbit hole during work hours, providing a more interactive experience. During work hours, players can guide their Sims to complete tasks and earn promotions faster. One such active career is the Scientist Career, where Sims can create and interact with unique objects and invent new things. Interestingly, Sims who are scientists in Get to Work can be called to work at any time, similar to the other careers in this pack.

Scientist Career General Info And Promotions

The Sims 4 Scientist Career-1

The Scientist Career, which is one of the three active careers in The Sims 4: Get to Work , stands out as the unique and lucrative option. Sims who choose this career path will need to have "Eureka!" moments to create new designs and invention using Although the Scientist tasks are typically less strict and a bit more mundane than those of the Doctor and Detective careers, they will need to rely on having breakthroughs, as these are necessary for promotions, which enable the Sims to unlock additional features, such as creating a portal to Sixam.

The work lot for this career is FutureSim Labs, where only Scientist Sims have access to the Invention Constructor, Chemistry Lab, and Chemical Analyzer. While Sims earn good pay during work hours, the inventions they create offer additional opportunities to make money , such as by copying or transforming objects. Additionally, the Satellite Dish is particularly useful for players who want to prevent their Sims from being abducted and impregnated by aliens . The Scientist career is an active career that does not have two branching paths and has a total of 10 levels. Interestingly, as Sim progresses through the levels, work hours or days don't change, making it ideal for Sims who want to spend long hours at work through the week.

Each level of the Scientist career requires Sims to have breakthroughs for promotions, and players will notice that the number of breakthroughs required increases by two with each level. However, it is important to note that the breakthrough numbers indicated in each level represent the total amount of breakthroughs needed. So, while each level requires 2 more breakthroughs than the previous one, players only need to have 2 additional breakthroughs to fulfill the promotion requirement.

Although promotions in the Scientist career do not offer as many new items as the Detective career, players will receive new clothing with many of the promotions. Additionally, leveling up in this career unlocks more inventions and serums to be made, which more than makes up for the lack of reward objects. Furthermore, Scientists have the ability to analyze crystals and metals on their own via the Chemical Analyzer, eliminating the need to send them to the Geo Council. This feature is particularly useful for Sims interested in finishing their Element collection.

Additionally, it's worth noting that while none of the active careers in Get to Work are directly related to any aspirations, the Nerd Brain aspiration under the Knowledge branch could be a good fit for Sims pursuing the Scientist career. This is because Sims in this career will be able to increase their logic skill while performing activities that provide them with "Eureka!" moments. Additionally, the Quick Learner trait could be helpful in quickly leveling up all skills. Alternatively, the Curator aspiration is also a good choice for Scientist Sims, as they will be able to collect metals, crystals, and discover elements, all of which contribute to various collections.

How To Get Promotions Quickly

Sims 4 Mad Scientist

Promotions in the Scientist career offer more than just increased Simoleons, as players will unlock many useful new inventions and be able to order their co-workers to do certain activities that benefit them. Therefore, getting promotions quickly in this career provides a significant advantage. While certain traits can be more beneficial for easier promotions in some careers, specific skills are not required for promotions in the Scientist career. However, traits that give positive moodlets like Cheerful or Geek are recommended since Scientist Sims will be spending a lot of time in the lab.

Related: The Sims 4: Paranormal Investigator Career Guide

Moodlets do not affect job performance as much in this career compared to non-active careers. Nonetheless, having a Focused moodlet is essential for having "Eureka!" moments, which are required for breakthroughs and immensely improve job performance. Players should ensure to do activities that can give this moodlet, and luckily, there are objects on the lot and early inventions that can provide it.

How To Have Breakthroughs

The Sims 4 Scientist Breakthrough

Obtaining breakthroughs may seem daunting at first, but it's primarily about being focused and interacting with specific objects. When a Sim is in a Focused mood, they can receive an additional Eureka! moodlet, which reinforces their focused mood and aids them in making more scientific discoveries. To achieve this, Sims must engage in certain activities, many of which require an increase in logic skill.

Related: Highest Paying Careers In The Sims 4, Ranked

When players click on an object, they will notice a gear with a lightbulb icon beside the interaction, indicating that it's an action that can provide a breakthrough. Examples include reading, playing chess, tinkering, and using the computer. There are numerous objects available on the lot for players to interact with in order to achieve these breakthroughs. Additionally, breakthroughs are achieved more quickly than solving cases in the Detective career, and they can be accomplished within the work lot without leaving the lot.

Unlockable Inventions And Serums

Sims 4 Mad Scientist Active Career

In the Scientist career, the first six levels unlock new inventions that can be upgraded with subsequent promotions. These inventions are powerful and can greatly benefit Sims by providing additional income and boosting moodlets. Therefore, it is important for players to create these inventions as they become available in order to maximize the benefits of the career. While the inventions require metals and crystals in a variety of rarities, it doesn't cost any money.

The Satellite Dish has the ability to affect the moodlets of nearby townies, such as making them happy or angry, and can even influence them to dance, pee, or sleep. With upgrades, it can also be used to detect aliens and prevent abductions or increase the chances of being abducted.

Level 8 - Adds additional interactions related to Aliens .

Cloning Machine

2 Common Crystals, 2 Common Metals

Enables players to clone various objects such as food items, collectibles, and even Sims (when upgraded). Cloning objects can be a profitable endeavor.

Level 8 - Allows for cloning Sims. This will result in a twin being added to the household. However, it is important to note that the cloned Sim will not retain the same career or skills as the original Sim. Additionally, there is a chance that the cloned Sim will possess negative traits such as Mean or Evil, which can add an interesting twist to gameplay and allow for unique storytelling opportunities.

Electroflux Wormhole Generator

2 Uncommon Crystals, 2 Uncommon Metals, 2 Elements

It has interactions that allow for getting focused moodlet and more breakthroughs, which is very beneficial to get promotions quicker.

Level 10 - When upgraded, this device gets an additional interaction allowing the Sim to travel to Sixam, one of the hidden areas .

In addition to inventions, Serums are a valuable tool for Scientist Sims. They provide a way to earn money without spending Simoleons, as they only require ingredients to craft. Serums can also be given as gifts to other Sims to give them various effects, and it's even possible to intentionally create negative versions for harmful effects. However, it's important for players to exercise caution and not overuse Serums, as it's recommended to wait until the effect of the previous Serum has worn off before consuming another. There are 15 Serums in total, which unlock as players get promotions. Great for Sims that are also focusing on gardening.

If you are interested in having your sim have scientific breakthrough's by gardening and want to know where to get started, check out my guide to gardening .

If you don't want to wait for your sim to have scientific breakthroughs on their own, there is, as with everything in the sims, a way to cheat.

First, you have to join the scientist career. Then you will want to hold down shift as you click on your sim. You will click on "Cheat Sim Info." You then will see an option for "Scientist..." click on that, you have four choices, "Scientist Almost Breakthrough," "Scientist Breakthrough Add Almost 25%," Scientist Breakthrough (All)," and "Scientist Breakthrough."

Sims 4 scientist cheats

Scientist almost breakthrough will get you 75% of the way to a scientific breakthrough. Scientist breakthrough add almost 25% will get you 1/4 of the way to a scientific breakthrough. Scientist Breakthrough, will complete the next breakthrough for you.

If you click on Scientist Breakthrough (All), your sim will have a breakthrough and you will receive a notification saying it is your sim's twenty-first breakthrough. Your sim will have the ability to make every invention and serum that they would normally have the ability to make if you went through each breakthrough one at a time.

For these cheats you don't need to worry about what level of the scientist career your sim is at, you can unlock all the scientific breakthroughs even when your sim just started the scientist career.

As your sim makes their way through the scientific breakthroughs you will have the ability to make new inventions and serums. You can create inventions with the invention creator, and you can make serums with the Chemistry lab.

Here is a full comprehensive list of each breakthrough and the ingredients needed to make each object.

1 Death Flower
20Alien Aura Serum1 Alien Crystal

21Age-Away Serum2 Alien Crystals 
1 Quill fruit
1 Xenopetrium
Tip: You will need to visit the alien world to obtain the alien crystals to make the age-away serum. To get to the alien world, you have to upgrade your Electroflux Wormhole Generator.

In addition to creating these inventions your sim will also have the option to upgrade some of these inventions with the Invention Constructor. You will need to drag the object into the invention constructor and your sim will have the option to upgrade the object. You must be active in the scientist career in order to upgrade your inventions.

There is a way to purchase some inventions in build/buy mode without needing to have any scientific breakthroughs or go through the effort of making them.

To use Cheats in the Sims 4 hold down Ctrl+Shift+C for windows or Command (⌘)+Shift+C for Mac at the same time and a small bar will appear at the top left hand corner of the screen where you can type. Type in your desired cheat and then hit enter.

If you want to purchase either the momentum conserver, simray, hoverlamp, satellite dish, cloning machine, or the electroflux wormhole generator you can use the bb.showhiddenobjects cheat. This cheat will unlock all objects that are required to be created by sims in game play.

There is one caveat to this however, you still have to be high enough in the scientist career to upgrade these objects. For the simray you can do a variety of upgrades that requires you to be anywhere from level 3 of the scientist career up to level 10. For the satellite dish and the cloning machine you have to be level 8 and for the electroflux wormhole generator you must be level 10.

If you are wanting to purchase the electroflux wormhole generator to go visit the alien world you have to upgrade it first before you have the ability to walk through it to the alien world.

If you want any of the serums you have to use the bb.showliveeditobjects cheat. This cheat gives you access to many different "debug" objects. Debug objects are items that the developers use in the world that you may see as you move throughout the world but don't see in your build/buy menu or objects that are objects meant for sims to use during certain animations. Such as when your sim goes and gets water and a cup appears.

Unfortunately, the debug items are not nicely organized like other objects in the buy menu. To find them you have to search for "debug" in the buy menu's search bar. Then just scroll until you find the serums, luckily all the serums are together once you find them.

Sims 4 scientist purchase inventions

The serums will cost $0 and you can use them right away without needing to be involved with the scientist career or have any scientific breakthroughs.

You have to unlock the chemistry lab by reaching level 4 of the scientist career. If you want to create serums with the chemistry lab but don't want to interact with the scientist career, you can use the bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement cheat to do so. This will get rid of any game play requirements for purchasing objects.

If you want to learn more about objects in the Sims 4 and everything you can do with them, I have created an in depth guide that goes every cheat or tip you need to know.

If you want to go through the steps of the Scientist Career, it is a fun game play career path. You have the option to go to work with your sim and help them advance in their career field. You get to interact with fun objects and have unique tasks that you must perform from day to day.

If you want to learn more about the Scientist Career, and exactly what to expect, I wrote this article that can help you navigate the interactive profession.

If you are interested in the Scientist Career and want to see what is involved at each level below is a table that will show you what you can expect.

When you go to work with your sim you will be required to do a variety of tasks, from tinkering with the coffee machine to creating new inventions. Your sim must have a certain amount of scientific breakthroughs to advance to the next level of the scientist career.

If you do not want to go through the game play to advance in the scientist career you can use the careers.promote adult_active_Scientist cheat. This will promote you to the next level in the scientists career. You must first join the scientist career before you can promote your sim to the next level.

You can join the Scientist career by telling your sim to find a job. You can use the phone, mailbox, computer, or the work tab in your sim's profile to find a job.

Tip: If you are planning on cheating to purchase any of the items it may be a good idea to promote your sim in the scientist career so you can upgrade the objects in order to get full use of all the features.

Daily Tasks

As there are so many things going on in this career path, here is a list of all of the major tasks your Sim will have to do while progressing through the levels.

  • Your Sim has to create the Momentum Conserver, SimRay, and other devices with the help of Invention Constructor.
  • Your Sim then has to use their inventions after pulling them out of the Invention Constructor machine.
  • Your Sim needs to improve their inventions.
  • Your Sim will have to create serums and analyze them with the help of a chemical analyzer.
  • Your Sim will need to grow plants for creating serum.

There are still many random events that your Sim will encounter in this career, so don’t panic and just go with the flow . Make sure to buy seeds during the earlier levels as having them in bulk will help you out a lot during the later levels. Constantly try to utilize the notebook your Sim will get so that you can see the recipes for the serum.

Breakthrough/Eureka Moments

Having Eureka moments is important for promotion in this career path as this will provide your Sim with more design ideas for new inventions and serums. To increase the chances of having these moments, you will have to keep increasing your Logic Skill and keep your Sim Focused.

Your Sim can do this by interacting with certain objects, such as playing chess, working on the computer, tinkering with various objects, drinking black tea, looking at fossils, etc. if you are doing everything right, you will soon see a lightbulb icon which when clicked will create an Eureka moment. Nerd Brain Aspiration is pretty good to have for this task.

This is all of the important things you need to know about being a Scientist in The Sims 4. If what you read was helpful, then please check out our other articles such as Hollow Knight charm combos – the best ones and The Sims 4 Law career guide .

The Sims

The science career is a base game career track for The Sims , The Sims 2 , and The Sims 3 . It returns in The Sims 4: Get to Work (where it is known as "scientist") as an active career .

  • 2.1 Sims in the Science Career

The Sims [ ]

Of the ten career tracks in the base game, science had the fourth-lowest pay at rank 1 and the fourth-highest at rank 10, behind entertainment , pro athlete , and business . It was also the second-easiest to climb (behind military ), requiring only 10 friends to reach rank 10, and was in a three-way tie (with pro athlete and entertainment) for best ratio of pay to friends required to reach rank 10 ($1000/10 friends = 100). All of this made it one of the best career tracks to pursue. Out of all 20 career paths from the base game, Livin' Large , and Unleashed , it has the seventh-highest pay at rank 1 and the ninth-highest at rank 10, and is the seventh-easiest to climb, making it still an above-average choice.

Then it occurs to him/her that Wiki the signing chimpanzee COULD run the test suites! After all, all they are a bunch of checkboxes, one after the other. <Sim> never pays much attention to them anyways.

Lately, <Sim>'s students have been getting restless, but being relatively new to the field of teaching, <Sim> has been trying to stick to the textbook. Unfortunately, if there's one known constant in the universe, it's that high school science texts are incapable of portraying the wonders of science in any way other than the most boring, convoluted, and drab. <Sim> decides that enough is enough, and that his/her job as a teacher is not to make sure his/her students have memorized the periodic table, but to get them interested in science and in learning. It's time for a field trip! All <Sim> has to do is decide whether the class should visit the mall or local video arcade, in the name of science, of course.

While reading through some of his/her team's reports, <Sim> realizes that one of his/her researchers has inadvertently stumbled upon a new lithium isotope. Not only is the discovery of a major find in and of itself, but the practical applications of the isotope in devices such as atomic linear accelerators and staplers will be worth a fortune. So it is that <Sim> finds himself/herself with a bit of a conundrum. Ethics would obviously say that he/she should inform the researcher of her own discovery and advise her how to proceed, but practicality says that no one ever got ahead in the world of science by sticking to the rules, and <Sim> could easily claim the discovery himself/herself without anyone being the wiser.

It's high time that he/she did something about it. The only tough part is figuring out what to do without risking his/her cushy position as an "Academic." <Sim> mulls it over for a bit and decides that he/she should either spend the day working on his/her old theory of extra special relativity or look into finishing his/her field work in the ancestral structures of the Llama family.

Military Intelligence, otherwise known as AWXYMRAWN, has unearthed something very important in the SimCity Desert. <Sim> has received a telegram that reads: <Sim> stop top secret stop your eyes only stop have found an a stop l stop i stop e stop n stop stop s stop p stop a stop c stop e stop s stop h stop i stop p stop stop come to you know where at you know when stop this message will self destruct stop. Fascinated by the thought of a small piece of paper self destructing, <Sim> places the telegram on the table, but it just sits there, benign as ever. Well, <Sim> does manage to decipher the military's "intricate" code, but unfortunately has absolutely no clue about the time or place where he's/she's supposed to meet them and discuss the "you know what." So he/she surmises they must be either be talking about the excavation area, somewhere out in the middle of the desert, or the secret underground military installation he's/she's heard talk of, somewhere off Interstate 51. Which one should he/she try?

9) Theorist
With the recent complications arising from such concepts as dark matter, wormhole theory, red vs. blue shift, superstring theory, <Sim>'s own extra-special relativity, not the mention the meta-spline reticulation debate, <Sim> has decided to take on a more rational approach to his/her theorizing. After all, there are so many inconsistencies and unknowns still lurking in the day to day activities of Sims across the world. For instance, what happened to all the pets in SimCity? One day they were there and the next day they were gone, vanished without a trace. Or how is it that Sims are all able to carpool, but yet not one Sim seems to own a car? Better yet, what's the deal with "inventory"? How is it that no one seems to have a problem with the seemingly infinite universe that exists within each and every Sim's pockets? But <Sim> needs to focus, and he needs a starting point. Should he/she start with the tangible or the intangible.

10) Mad Scientist
The air is heavy with scientific anticipation, but more importantly, is charged with pure unbridled electricity. Somewhere in the distance a wolf howls. Even further off a bell tolls, and a baby cries. Tonight, <Sim> plans to go against the very laws of nature. Tonight <Sim> will attempt to reanimate the dead. Mwahahahahaha! His/Her life's work in the sciences has culminated in a combination of biological and chemical engineering, and since taking on the mantle of Mad Scientist his/her thoughts have turned evermore towards living up to the title. Everything is in place, but in his haste <Sim>'s assistant has misplaced the electrical schematics, so <Sim> is going to have to rely on his/her instincts and decide whether to connect the green wires or the orange wires to the energy source. The correct set will route the reanimating powers of the skies directly to the machinery, while the other could set off a chain reaction which might very well lead to the end of the world...

Science career icon

Science is a career track in The Sims 3 . In comparison to the Science career track in previous games, this career track appears to focus more on biology than on general science.

Work place: Science lab

How to apply: Directly at work place, Newspaper, Computer

Performance options:

Skills: Gardening, Handiness, Fishing

Science Career Levels
1) Test Subject
It's all for the good of science, at least that's what Test Subjects should constantly repeat to themselves. A little shock here, a potentially revolutionary serum there... it's all in a day's test tube. Try to stay in good spirits, because a bad mood skews the data.

Not all departments of the science lab are profitable, or productive for that matter. Nevertheless, for every hundred duds and worthless whiz-bangs there's a hit that rocks the science community to its beaker encrusted core. You better improve your skills with a wrench, because you'll be up to your eyes with useless contraptions.

Opportunities [ ]

Experiments [ ].

Experimentingtheshower

A Sim is performing experiment on a shower

After a Sim has attained the Mad Scientist (Science level 10) job, that Sim will be able to use the "Perform Experiment On..." action on many items around the house and on community lots . Note that this perk is kept after the Sim retires/quits. The Sim can also "Undo Science Experiment" on those objects (if the experiment didn't delete or damage the object).

Note: Some objects such as kitchen counter surfaces cannot be experimented upon in their default state, as they offer no default interaction and therefore cannot be clicked on. However, once the object becomes dirty and allows the "clean" option when clicked, you can use this opportunity to "Perform Experiment On..." them. This opportunity will disappear once you have cleaned them.

This action can have one of several outcomes:

Description Value Effect
Success! Your experiment has imbued this object with a positive effect on anyone who walks by! +9, ideal A specific positive is applied to any Sim that later moves within range (3 squares?) of the object. The Moodlet expires as soon as the Sim leaves range. See table below for possible effects.
Success! Your experiment has imbued this object with a positive effect on anyone who uses it! +8, great A specific positive Moodlet is applied to any Sim that uses the object. The Moodlet expires after a set amount of time. See table below for possible effects.
Success! Your experiment has resulted in a giant boost to this object's aesthetic appeal! +7, nice Increases how decorated the room is. For example, applying this to a toilet changes the room's value from Decorated +10 to Beautifully Decorated +40.
Success! Who needs a repair technician when you've got science? That object is definitely better than it was before... +1, ok Applies an upgrade to the object, masking any current upgrade on that object. For example, make Unbreakable (but masked Improve Speakers or Boost Channels upgrade) or Improved Graphics (masked that the object was already Unbreakable). Using Undo Science Experiment will return the object's previous upgrade (if any).
Enjoy your newly sonorific object! -1, annoying The object makes a sound when used. No Moodlet, just annoying.
Enjoy your new sonorific object! Too bad you can't control when it is going to make noise. -2, annoying The object makes a sound at random times. No Moodlet, just annoying.
Oh no! Your experiment has gone awry! Hopefully the noise that thing makes while people use it isn't too annoying... -3, annoying The object makes a more annoying sound when used. No Moodlet, just annoying.
Oh no! Your experiment has gone awry! Hopefully the noise that thing makes randomly isn't too annoying... -4, annoying The object makes a more annoying sound at random times. No Moodlet, just annoying.
Well, that didn't work. Get that thing fixed and try again. You can't split an atom without breaking a few eggs. -5, annoying Breaks the object, requiring it to be repaired. Note that you can't use Undo Science Experiment to repair it. You can use Perform Experiment On broken objects though.
Oh no! Your experiment has gone awry! Anyone who uses this object is in for a nasty surprise! -6, bad A specific negative Moodlet is applied to any Sim that uses the object. The Moodlet expires after a set amount of time. See table below for possible effects.
Oh no! Your experiment has gone awry! Anyone who walks by this object is in for a nasty surprise! -7, bad A specific negative Moodlet is applied to any Sim that later moves within range (3 squares?) of the object. The Moodlet expires as soon as the Sim leaves range. See table below for possible effects.
Oops! Hopefully no one was too attached to that object. Ah, the dangers of science... -8, unrecoverable The object is deleted, without refund.
Ack! Call the fire department! Avoiding the shame of a failed experiment isn't worth burning down the whole house! -9, dangerous The object is set on fire.

The scientist career is one of the three career tracks introduced in The Sims 4: Get to Work . Like the other Get to Work careers, scientist is a profession , which are active careers where Sims can be followed to work. Also like the other Get to Work careers, sims who are scientists can be called to work at any time.

The workplace for this career is FutureSim Labs, a science lab lot, where Sims can use scientific objects such as the Invention Constructor , Chemistry Lab and Chemical Analyzer . Only Sims currently in the scientist career can interact with the Invention Constructor and Chemistry Lab. In the labs, Sims can invent new things and test new serums, create a portal to Sixam , and more.

The Sims 4 Get to Work: Scientist

Inventions, serums, and active career schedule.

A Scientist works with the Invention Constructor

The Sims 4's Scientist Career is a fun new Active Career added with the Get to Work Expansion Pack . While on the job, you'll do a lot of science-y activities and unlock new inventions and serums, upgrade your SimRay, as well as the ability to order your co-workers around. There are loads of lab coats and accessories to unlock for your Sim in CAS as you get promoted, and you'll gradually get the ability to travel to Sixam, the Alien World in The Sims 4! Look to the screenshots here to see the three pieces of equipment you need to properly do your job. Below, you will find a listing of all the serums and inventions, with what those do and what you need to make them.

You'll need no particular traits to be successful as a Scientist, given the negligible boost that Focused provides to active careers. Geek can be good, given the collectibles present at the Science Lab. Something like 'Good' or 'Cheerful' may be handy as a buffer against negative moods , however. The Curator Aspiration is a little easier to complete as a Scientist, given the collecting opportunities afforded by being able to ask your coworkers for crystals , metals , collectible opportunities on the Laboratory lot itself, and the use of the SimRay to transform duplicate items (very random, but can help!).

A lot of little things can happen at work, but I'll leave those up to you to discover! For example there are collecting days, and days where Aliens have infiltrated the lab. On collecting days, you'll learn of the many valuable items that can be found on the Science Lab's lot. You can get the required 10 collectibles very easily by harvesting the plants in the lab. These plants should be tended from time to time if you want to use them, because they can die.

Scientists can earn gobs of money using the SimRay in its upgraded form. Its transform function effectively changes objects into different variants. Sometimes the same type, sometimes not, but when you start with a cheap object and transform it, you're almost guaranteed to have something more valuable to sell in buy mode.

Be aware that if you're running behind on performance for the day, you can stay late. Know however that there's no need to keep going once you've filled the bar. You'll get the maximum performance for that day. Just be sure to stay until your shift is over, because you get a hefty performance penalty for leaving early even if your work is done.

The level 10 Scientist Uniform is ultra-futuristic. The arm and eye augmentation are nice touches.

Using the Notebook You can access your Sim's notebook by clicking the phone, then the notebook button at the top of any of its screens. This will show you the ingredients to make any of the inventions or serums. This handy little section also tracks your progress in gardening by providing combinations of plants used to create new species.

Analyzing Crystals and Metals Scientists get to skip sending Crystals and Metals to the Geo Council in order to collect Elements . You'll get them faster and don't lose the metal/crystal in the process, which lets you complete these collections faster (along with asking co-workers for these two types). You may need to go to Sixam to finish the collection, but it's a great perk. Simply use the chemical analyzer to do this. Thanks to PrismagramAuthor for the tip on the Elements page and Playalot for bringing it to my attention that this was not in the guide!

Breakthroughs: Eureka! Moments Scientist Sims can have a Breakthrough any time while doing certain activities. Start with something like Browse Simpedia on the computer, pondering chess moves, studying fossils, or drinking pitch black tea to get a Focused Moodlet. Look for the little light bulb and gear icons next to interactions to know if it will give you a Breakthrough. Just about anything that raises Logic can be used, but reading is also an excellent method. Use a bookshelf and 'Read Something'. You will see a lightbulb over the Sim's head when they've had a Eureka Moment. The Bookworm Trait may be used to read a bit faster and perhaps speed this up.

A Eureka! Moment in action. Scientists learn new inventions and serums this way.

The Eureka Moodlet (+2 Focused) can help Sims to make yet another scientific discovery. Tinker (used on Computer, Coffee Maker, Invention Constructor and other Objects) as well as Experiment (on some scientific equipment) are reliable sources of new breakthroughs. Because you'll be seeking to make these Eureka moments happen often and the Nerd Brain Aspiration's focus on Logical activities, it's not a bad Aspiration for your Scientist. You'll get the Quick Learner Bonus Trait as well, which helps with leveling all Skills.

Ordering Co-Workers As you level, you will be given to order your Co-Workers to do things for you. Whatever they collect or invent is given to your Sim, so you can do quite well for yourself to use this regularly. They can be promoted using 'Praise Work Ethic'. Thanks, Playalot!

Career Tasks

The Chemical Analyzer is one object you'll use frequently

Here are some of the things you are called to do while working as a Scientist, with brief instructions on how to do them should you get stuck:

  • Invent the Momentum Conserver, SimRay, etc. - Use the Invention Constructor
  • Use Inventions - Drag them from the Invention Constructor after built
  • Upgrade Inventions - Drag from your Sim's inventory to the Invention Constructor
  • Synthesize Serums - Use the Chemistry Lab
  • Practice Analysis - Use the Chemical Analyzers (look like a PC work station)
  • Analyze Plant Sample - Take from any plant, use Microscope. Note that this can raise the quality level of a plant sample one time .
  • Need Metals? Ask Co-Workers or look about the huge lab lot, which has loads of metal spawners.
  • When you need a common plant ingredient to make a Serum at work, you can sometimes get it by ordering the appropriate type of seed packet by clicking a garden planter in the lab. The computers have the 'Order' function disabled while at work, but this is a little workaround.
  • With regard to Serums, give them to Co-workers so you don't get your Sim into a bad mood!
Scientist' basic uniforms in Get to Work. Interaction with colleagues is a common task related to job performance.

Scientist Work Schedule

Scientists will see their career performance boosted by going in to work in a Focused Mood . Look for objects on the job that can help you get there. Some of the early inventions, like the Momentum Conserver, can help immensely with this. Consider decorating work areas with collectibles that give off a focused moodlet - see here for your options .

Momentum Conserver (Level 1) When turned on and viewed, the momentum conserver sometimes gives Sims a Focused Moodlet.

The Simray is a portable device with freeze, transform, and mind control options

SimRay (Level 2, 1 Common Metal, 1 Common Crystal) The SimRay is the main invention you'll get to upgrade over time as a Scientist. With each level beyond its invention, you'll unlock a new upgrade that you're often prompted to try on co-workers. At first, it can only freeze Sims for a time, locking them in ice that must be chiseled to set them free. Otherwise, you've just got to wait it out. Here are the various SimRay upgrades you get, along with the level my own Sim unlocked them:

  • Transform Objects (Level 3) - Changes an object to another. Use on cheap objects to make lots of money
  • Mind Control: Change Clothes (Level 4) - Pick a Sim and the outfit type you'd like them to wear
  • Mind Control: Clean (Level 5) - 'Inspires' a Sim to clean
  • Mind Control: Sit (Level 6) - Makes a Sim take a seat
  • Mind Control: Eat (Level 7) - Makes a Sim inspired to eat
  • Mind Control: Sleep (Level 8) - Put a Sim to sleep
  • Mind Control: Panic (Level 9) - Freak a Sim out for a time
  • Transform Sim (Level 10) - Give a Sim random hair and other cosmetic adjustments. Can have wildly unpredictable outcomes.

Hover Lamp (Level 3) Another invention that when turned on and viewed may give Sims a +2 Focused Moodlet.

Neighborhood Hivemind options on the Satellite Dish can be amusing, and are rather powerful.

Satellite Dish (Level 4, 3 Common Metals, 3 Common Crystals) Can be upgraded at level 8. Satellite dishes can be used to detect aliens (when upgraded) for a time, and even prevent abductions for 24 hours. You may contact aliens, which will seemingly increase the likelihood of an abduction as well. The main fun here lies in the neighborhood hive mind abilities that can be used, namely:

  • Knockout - puts everyone to sleep
  • Bladder Epidemic - Makes everyone need to relieve themselves
  • Happy Town - Makes everyone Happy, with a +2 Inexplicably Happy Moodlet
  • Angry Town - Inflicts everyone with an Angry Moodlet
  • Dance Party - You can imagine!

Cloning Machine (Level 5, 2 Common Metals, 2 Common Crystals) Can be upgraded at level 8. The cloning machine requires you to place an object upon it. When a valid item, such as a collectible is placed, that object can be cloned. This can be very handy to making serums, as well as any other item in the game that you need more than one to make something. You can save a lot of money on food with this, as meals can be cloned, as well! To clone an object multiple times, just take the new one off and clone the original again. When upgraded, it will let you clone a Sim! The new Sim will join your household and have the same traits and appearance as the original, though there is a chance they get some evil clone traits, like mean or evil. They will not, however, have any of the Skills of the original, nor a Career.

Travel to Sixam is one of the major benefits of pursuing the Scientist Active Career

Electroflux Wormhole Generator (Level 6, 2 Uncommon Metals, 2 Uncommon Crystals, 2 of Any Element Can be upgraded at level 10. The normal Calibrate, Attempt Alien Contact, and Test Alien Environment abilities this features seem primarily to help your Sim to get more breakthroughs as well as Focused Moodlets. When upgraded at level 10, the Wormhole Generator allows travel to Sixam, the Alien World .

These are another great feature of being a Scientist. They take ingredients, but don't cost money. In fact, you can make some money off the serums in some cases. The value listed is the sell value, which is often way more than the cost of the ingredients. Keep in mind that you can find the option to give Sims a Serum under the Friendly menu. When you've tested a Serum three times, you can make a tainted version to trick Sims into taking it and getting bad effects. Drinking too many Serums can knock your Sim out, so wait on the effects to wear off before taking more than one or two.

The Chemistry Lab allows the creation of Serums. You'll unlock one for your home later in the Career.

Experimental recipes.

sims 4 perform experiments

Experimental Recipes are a set of 20 recipes available on some menus for restaurants. If your Sim has is at least at Level 5 in the Cooking Skill ( not the Gourmet Cooking skill), they can eat and instantly learn the recipe. They can then make the recipe at home, although you are required to cook it at a Chef Station; conventional appliances will not work. If your Sim orders the food but is below Level 5 Cooking, they can still eat and enjoy their meal but won't learn how to cook it.

For restaurants you own , all 20 recipes are available from the start if you wish to customize your menu that way. It's possible to create a restaurant with nothing but these 20 recipes to ensure that any playable Sim in your neighborhood can learn all the recipes. Note that the pre-made Chez Llama restaurant features all 20 recipes in its default menu.

Sims can also take photos of Experimental Food, and doing so will be added to their Collections list, which can be tracked in their inventory screen. If you give them the command to take a picture, they will gain Skill in Gourmet Cooking. The design choice might be confusing as taking pictures raises Gourmet Cooking when the skill used is just conventional Cooking to make the meal.

The 20 recipes that are deemed "experimental" are these:

  • Artisan Fish Trio (main course)
  • Crystallized Coco Blocks (dessert)
  • Cubed Ahi with Veggie Wasabi Matrix (main course)
  • Cured Meat Crisps on Reclaimed Forest Wood (appetizer)
  • Free Range Sixam Pit Beast (main course)
  • Glacier Infused Iceberg Lettuce (appetizer)
  • Glazed Heirloom Bamboo Roll (main course)
  • Honeycomb Garden Vegetable Cups (main course)
  • Honeyed World Fruit Charcuterie (appetizer)
  • Jungle Moss Egg with Lavender Wisps (main course)
  • Rustic Pate Drizzled in Aged Jus (main course)
  • Savory Bacon Love Petals (appetizer)
  • Semi-Firm Beet Noodles (main course)
  • Sizzled Brisket over Sour Clover Salad (main course)
  • Space Taco with Pearled Egg Core (main course)
  • Spherized Fruit Gel in Foam Nest (appetizer)
  • Tiger Shrimp in Smoked Dewdrop Broth (main course)
  • Vanilla Sea Shells and Chocolate Caviar (dessert)
  • Vertical Berry Cake (dessert)
  • Volcano Pasta (main course)

the sims 4 horse ranch

When it comes to which expansions to go for, the reality is that different packs have different themes and suit different playstyles – so you can't really go wrong as long as you keep that in mind and lean into your taste.

Players who lean towards family gameplay should look into Growing Together , while High School Years complements that experience by letting you take control of teen Sims at school.

Pet lovers should consider Cats & Dogs , with Horse Ranch an option for horse lovers in particular.

the sims 4 for rent expansion

For Rent features the Residential Rental lot type, letting Simmers build multi-unit lots including flats, terraced houses, and maisonettes.

Packs like Snowy Escape and Island Living focus on introducing new types of worlds to explore.

Seasons is one of the most noteworthy packs, adding weather and seasonal events to bring a more satisfying sense of time progression to the game.

Even though The Sims 5 has been officially announced with the working title of Project Rene , EA and Maxis aren't slowing down with new content for The Sims 4 , even beyond this year.

VP franchise creative Lyndsay Pearson said in September 2023 that the plan is to support both The Sims 4 and Project Rene "at the same time".

The Sims 4: Lovestruck - How To Set Romantic Boundaries

The sims 4: lovestruck - what is cupid's counselling, dragon age fans really want the veilguard's ogre to be redesigned, quick links, how to start the romance consultant career, romance consultant career requirements, romance consultant career levels, matchmaker career branch levels, relationship counselor career branch levels.

For many Sims 4 players, romance is a core playthrough mechanic. Whether your goal is to complete a romance scenario, find true love, or complete the 100 Babies Challenge , the odds are you will need to master romance at some level.

Two Sims kiss in a three person open relationship

Here's how to set up polyamory and open relationships in The Sims 4

Luckily, for Love Bug Simmers the world over, the Lovestruck Expansion is the perfect way to dive into more passionate romances. And if just finding true love isn't enough, you can now help other sims find their soulmates with the new Romance Consultant career path. Here's everything you need to know to get your sims falling in love in no time.

The Sims 4: Lovestruck - The career menu, highlighting the Romance Consultant Career.

Before you can start setting your Sims up with the partner of their dreams, you first need to have the Sims 4 Lovestruck pack downloaded. Once you have access to Lovestruck, you can have your Sim join the Romance Consultant Career in the same way they would join any other career.

Have your Sim open their phone and select the career ta b (the briefcase icon). From here, you can scroll through the career list until you see Romance Consultant . Select this career and your Sim will start out as a 'Romance Newbie' Romantic Consultant.

The Sims 4: Lovestruck - A Sim researches at a laptop.

There are very few requirements for beginning the Romance Consultant career and the only item you will absolutely need is a computer. However, there are a few methods and items to use to increase your promotion speed and boost overall career performance.

Have A Computer, Speaker, And Television

The Sims 4: Lovestruck - A Sim watches the Telenovela channel.

Like with most careers in the Sims 4, you will need access to a computer for your Daily Promotion tasks . Otherwise, you won't need any special equipment to level your Sim's Romance Consultant career.

You can find computers on public lots such as libraries . You can also purchase a computer for your Sim's home. However, if a computer is outside of your Sim's budget, you can use a pre-existing computer on a public lot or add one to a more convenient public lot where the build budget is infinite .

While not required to complete the career, your Sims will also benefit from having access to a speaker and television .

You won't need to use the speaker or TV if your Sim goes to work in person, but if your Sim is working from home , their at-home tasks will involve watching Telenovelas and listening to the Romance Station .

Utilize Skill Resources And Level Skills Early

The Sims 4: Lovestruck - A Sim matches with Clement Frost on Cupid's Corner.

Arguably, the best way to get your Sims promoted quickly is to start the Romance Consultant Career with your Romance Skill pre-leveled .

You can level your Sim's Romance Skill easily by participating in Romance interactions with other Sims. These interactions are usually under the Romance tab in your Sims' chat radial and are marked with a Heart Bouquet icon .

Try dating , flirting, or progressing your romantic relationships as far as they can go.

If you want to maximize your Sim's effectiveness as a Relationship Counselor, it's best to nurture a healthy relationship (or a few healthy relationships) as the Counselor Sim.

You probably wouldn't trust a chronically single person for dating advice, and the same goes in the Sims. A romantically satisfied Sim makes for a better Romance Counselor as they will more frequently experience Flirty moodlets and will have a better reaction overall to romantic encounters.

As you nurture your Romance Counselor's relationships, you will also be using Romance Interactions that increase the Romance Skill over time . The faster and more successfully you can improve your Sims' relationships, the faster their Romance Skill will increase as well.

Get In The Mood For Romance

The Sims 4: Lovestruck - Two Sims cuddle in the winter time.

Another great way to improve your Sims' performance is to make sure they are in the mood for romance when they are completing career tasks or on their way to work.

Try to send your Sims to work with positive moodlets like Flirty, Very Flirty, or Confident . These moodlets will boost your Sims' performance at work and make career interactions easier when engaging with other Sims. Doing this can be as easy as having your Sim kiss their partner goodbye before work.

You can put your Sim in the mood by listening to the Romance Station , taking a Steamy Shower , watching the Romance Channel, drinking romance moodlet teas and mixed drinks, or by smoking romantic concoctions at the Bubble Machine .

Have your Sim experiment with substances around the world to see which ones put them into a Flirty mood. These aphrodisiacs are key to making sure your Romance Consultant Sim is in the right headspace to do their job.

Having your Romance Consultant Sim in a Flirty or Very Flirty mood will also increase their Romance Skill more quickly , which is necessary for career promotion.

The Best Traits For A Romance Consultant Sim

The Sims 4: Lovestruck - An image of the Lovebug trait in the CAS menu.

The Sims 4 Lovestruck introduced the Lovebug trait , which is by far the best trait to give your Romance Consultant Sim.

The Lovebug Trait makes your Sim obsessed with all things love and romance. They will become Flirty more easily , have an easier time falling in love , and will gain more powerful positive moodlets when interacting with loved ones or engaging in romantic behaviors.

The Lovebug trait greatly increases your Sim's Romance Skill progression and speed.

Giving your Sims the Romantic trait will also increase their chances of becoming Flirty or Very Flirty and will likewise increase the rate at which they earn Romance Skill. However, beware of this trait as it will make your Sims become Sad when they haven't interacted romantically in a while.

If you aren't going to fully commit to having your Sim be a full-time romantic , the Romantic trait may not be the right choice for your Sim, as you will need to engage in consistent romantic interactions.

The Sims 4: Lovestruck - A Sim prepares for work as a Romance Consultant.

The basic branch of the Romance Career has seven career levels . To reach level seven, you will need to level not only your Romance Skill but also your Logic and Charisma Skills .

Because you need Logic and Charisma Skills to specialize in a new branch at career level eight , you should invest in items that help your Sim build Logic and Charisma. Try practicing speeches, giving compliments, playing card and board games, and researching to level these skills.

Upon reaching Career Level Eight, you can choose to specialize in one of two career branches: the Matchmaker branch or the Relationship Counselor branch.

If you choose to become a Matchmaker, you will need to level up your Charisma Skill alongside your Romance Skill.

The best way to level up Charisma is to complete actions and interactions that are marked with the Sunglasses icon in your Sims' speech radial or when interacting with objects like the mirror.

The Matchmaker Branch is the only way to earn the Heart to Heart trait , and you won't be able to earn this through the Relationship Counselor branch of the career.

The Heart To Heart trait gives your Sim a boost when around happy couples. They'll receive a positive moodlet when in the presence of couples experiencing romantic harmony. Isn't it just fabulous when you can help two Sims find love?

The Sims 4: Lovestruck - A Sim gives another Sim unsolicited Love Advice

If you choose to send your Sim down the path of Relationship Counseling, you will need to level your Logic Skill. After all, Sims in a relationship crisis need a counselor with the problem-solving skills that they lack.

The best way to level the Logic Skill is to play board games, research, debate , or perform actions marked by the chess piece icon . An easy way to improve Logic at home is to buy a card table or chess board.

Trump Declines to Back Away From ‘You Don’t Have to Vote Again’ Line

The former president, in an interview on Fox News, declined to back away from his comments and repeated his argument that if he’s elected, “the country will be fixed” and their votes won’t be needed.

sims 4 perform experiments

By Maggie Astor

  • July 30, 2024

Former President Donald J. Trump, in an interview broadcast Monday night, repeated his recent assertion that Christians will never have to vote again if they vote for him this November, and brushed aside multiple requests to walk back or clarify the statement.

Mr. Trump said last Friday to a gathering of Christian conservatives: “I love you. You got to get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going to have to vote.”

His interviewer on Monday, Fox News’s Laura Ingraham, noted that Democrats have highlighted that quote as evidence that Mr. Trump would end elections, and urged Mr. Trump to rebut what she called a “ridiculous” criticism.

But Mr. Trump declined to do so, repeating a pattern he frequently employs in which he makes a provocative statement that can be interpreted in varying ways, and makes no attempt to quiet the uproar. This comment was especially striking, given his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his shattering of other democratic norms.

The exchange began when Ms. Ingraham told the former president: “They’re saying that you said to a crowd of Christians that they won’t have to vote in the future.”

Mr. Trump started off his response, saying: “Let me say what I mean by that. I had a tremendous crowd, speaking to Christians all in all — I mean, this was a crowd that liked me a lot.” He added that Catholics are “treated very badly by this administration” and that “they’re like persecuted,” then digressed, saying that Jewish people who voted for Democrats “should have your head examined,” a sentiment he has expressed many times before , drawing criticism of antisemitism. He then reiterated his statement from Friday.

Raiders' Special Teams Learning Rule Changes with No Pressure

Ezekiel trezevant | 16 hours ago.

Las Vegas Raiders Special Teams Coordinator Tom McMahon

  • Las Vegas Raiders

The National Football League plans to experiment with multiple new special teams rules this upcoming season.

Until now, special teams have been cut and dry and somewhat boring. The NFL hopes the new rules will add safety for special teams players and excitement for the fans watching it. However, Raiders special teams coordinator Tom McMahon is understandably more focused on teaching his unit the rules. He has taken an interesting approach to help them grasp the changes.

"I think with them, they have to understand the scheme. They have to be really, really prepared,” McMahon recently said at training camp. “They have to know their job. And for me, it's no consequence. If you put a bunch of pressure, 'Oh if you do this and you do that,' they're going to do this, they're going to do that, and they're going to play slow. 

As the league implements new rules that arguably impact special teams units more than any other unit, McMahon continues to be patient with the players who are all learning new aspects of the football game, many of which are entirely different than what they are used to.  He wants the players to play free and play fast, instead of worrying about making mistakes within the new set of rules.

“In coverage roles and in return roles, we have to get up the rectangle, you have to work vertical,” McMahon said. “And when you say, 'what ifs,' it has the word 'whiff' in 'what if', we're going to whiff. If they say, 'Coach, what if', and we're not letting them play fast. So, the big thing that I have to do is there's no consequence; you guys go play. OK, there's only one bad F word in the world, and it's 'fault'. OK, we'll fix it. If there's fault, it's Tom. So right here, if something happens this year, T-O-M. OK, that's what it is. 

“So, because we got to play with no consequence, and there's no one in our room – I got asked a great question earlier about 'who are you impressed with' -- all these guys. Because right now, they're not looking for fault. Every single time when we point something out, you don't get that look of, 'Oh, I'm down on myself. He's on me.' No, he's fixing. We're fixing. Don't worry about fault. Just go. Go in every single thing we do, go. There's no consequence. And that's the best, for our special teams, our guys love AP [Antonio Pierce] for that. Go, go, man, go, go, go play the game. And we'll fix it in the in the meeting room, but we can't slow these guys down or they're going to get free yardage on all these plays, or vice versa, we'll get free yardage if they slow down."

    I've clicked on all the science machines I can find at the lab and none of them have "experiment" as an option. Edit: I've also googled but have had no useful answers.
