Science lab

A science laboratory is a rabbit hole building in The Sims 3.

Gameplay descriptions
This is where Sims can get a job in the Science Career, attend Logic or Gardening classes. Sims can also tour tour the science lab. If a Sims is collecting insects they can sell them as specimen to the lab. Donating insects is slightly more rewarding than selling them via the inventory, so it is worth the trip. Sims can WooHoo in these rabbit holes, but they might get caught by the security and be asked to leave. This is also one of the properties you can partner with and own in The Sims 3. It's the most expensive but also the most profitable.

If a Sim gets the Oh My Ghost! opportunity, they can take a loved one's urn to the lab for testing and restore them as a playable ghost.

Science labs generate the following red map tag in-game:



Sunset Valley
Landgraab Industries Science Facility is the science lab of Sunset Valley.

Robot fish can only be caught in a pond in the back of the facility.

Its symbol is a cog, but the science career symbol is an atom. A The Sims 2-style Servo personal robot makes an appearance, there is a golden statue of one in the entrance, which can be seen if the camera is in a favorable angle. Landgraab Industries Science Facility is (unofficially) property of the Landgraab Family, hence its name.

Riverview
Soil and Water Research Facility is the science lab in Riverview.

In in Riverview the robot fish is not found on this lot, but off the river bank beside the lot.
