Career Descriptions have been taken from the game.
I’ve reach the 9th breakthrough in my Science career, however whatever I do (reading/ weeding plants/jogging/ taking thoughtful showers/experimenting) the 10th breakthrough just won’t happen, there isn’t even a light bulb signalling that the breakthrough is progressing, it’s simply stuck on the 9th breakthrough, I’ve tried reloading the game/restarting the game…this is really bothering me now.
Have you tried maxing out your Scientist Career Level? Each Breakthrough can be unlocked by progressing in your Scientist Career.
Let me know if you get the lightbulb icon on certain interactions after you level up your Career!
Ive found that building the rocket science skill helps. I had the same exact problem until I started to build the rocket ship. (It costs a lot of money though)
Try to max handiness lvl, and do “Tinker” more and more, it will give a chance to breakthrough.
I’ve already reached my 8th breakthrough and get focused mood on work also complete all the task everytime i go to work but my sims doesn’t get promoted. What should i do?
