SimBot Problems in Bridgeport

[Burgos]

Hi, I had a problem with the simbot opportunity yesterday. I took all the necessary ingredients to the Science Lab and they gave me the life core, my problem is that I can't put it in the work table and the table interactions don't allow me to build the simbot.
It's not the first time I'm doing this so I think there might be some bug here.

Burgos, have you tried exiting your game and restarting?  Sometimes things like that are just glitches that fix themselves (I hope that's the case here).

[Burgos]

Thank's but, nah... It didn't work

Have you successfully built a SimBot before this?

[wildredchild]

Correct me if I am wrong here, but last time I made a Simbot I did not put the life core into the inventing table, but rather clicked on the inventing table (with the life core in my Sims personal inventory), and selected to build the Simbot.  I don't remember the exact wording on the action that you choose, but do know that the life core stays in the Sims personal inventory rather then the table.

Yes, I've done it before, but, it wasn't saved due to a saving error. So, for my sim, it's the first time again. I think the problem is that I've moved to the city center...

Do you already have 8 sims (actual sims, or in un-born connection to some pregnant sims) in your household? You can't make a simbot then.

[Pam]

Exactly what options come up when you click the inventing table?

[GWIII]

I am having this exact same problem its weird. I thought it might be because both my sims completed the scrap turn in at same time but if he is having the same problem with just one sim makes me think its something else.

[Pam]

I still fail to understand what the problem is.  Can one of you tell us exactly what happens when you click the table after you've gotten the parts you need?  Please don't be so vague about problems like this.  How can anyone help you if you don't give the information we need?

I had this same issue about 2 weeks ago and went to EA's forums, for some people this is broken with late night/patch to ambitions without late night. 

It seems to be random because on a different sim I was able to make the simbot.

What happens is even after the whole line and you have the core in your inventory, when you are at the table, the option to create the simbot does not even show up, not greyed out, just not there.  Restarting does not help.  Some people say they were able to get the option after moving lots, but I was not able on my sim that couldn't make it.

...Wait a minute. 

This is in the wrong section!

No, it is not in the wrong section chihuahua0 and you need to leave this kind of thing to the Forum Moderators in the future.  Thanks for understanding.

Some new information. The problem is Bridgeport.
I just tried my hand at another inventor, went to Bridgeport, completed the opportunities and lo and behold, no simbot option on workbench. I then tried my old inventor, who did knew how to make simbots, and moved him to Bridgeport and guess what? no simbot option.
I then moved the old inventor to twinbrook, and it was perfectly able to make em bots, after that, I moved the youngster to twinbrook (from a save before completing the opportunities), and after completing them he was perfectly able to play frankenstein.

This was all with the windows worldwide version of the game & ambitions, with NA late night.

Ok am I understanding that because my sim lives in BP I cannot complete the challenge? I am on the opportunity where it says to "create the mystery invention" and I go to click the workbench/make and I only get toys, widgets, cheap toys, and big invention. So I won't be able to complete the opportunity? If I move him to another town I lose the opportunity all together, correct?
