Aliens can steal meteorites from the lab, but we Earthlings can only visit those boring exhibition areas as ordinary tourists? Take advantage of the perfect opportunity while the front desk security guard is dozing off to delve deep into the heart of the lab and uncover its shocking, untold secrets!

This mod adds a new "Explore Science Lab" interaction to the Science Lab. Sims aged Teen and older can explore it at any time. The process works just like the Search for Fairies interaction: you will see a series of chance card dialogs consisting of two options, which will eventually lead to several different outcomes.

Requirements

This mod requires Ambitions, Supernatural, Seasons and University Life.

Outcomes

The options you choose in the chance cards do not affect the final outcome (it is completely random). The following outcomes have been converted from their weighted values to percentages, rounded to two decimal places:

• Get stung by bees and receive the corresponding moodlet (33.33%)
• Receive the Poisoned moodlet. There is a chance to turn into a PlantSim after the moodlet expires (26.67%)
• Receive a Harvester (20%)
• Receive The Cloud-inator 9000 (13.33%)
• Receive a forbidden fruit seed (6.67%)

Tuning

You can scroll to the bottom of the RabbitHoleTextAdventure XML file and locate:

12 RandomNextStage

Adjust the weighted values by modifying the numbers in: 20,40,60,80,100

In the even-numbered sections below, you can replace the contents of with other items or moodlets, but you must look up the correct internal names in the game files (e.g., gameplaydata.package), otherwise errors may occur.

Conflicts & Known Issues

This mod will conflict with any other mod that modifies the RabbitHoleTextAdventure xml file.

Some option texts may be too long to display fully in the chance card dialog. If this happens, simply hover your mouse over the option to see the full text.

Installation

Just place the package file in your Mods/Packages folder.

Available Languages

Credits

Thank you to the various tutorials on MTS and other sites, as well as Visual Studio 2022, ILSpy, s3pe and my computer wizzes friends Cici & Gu for help with coding issues, and sims who acted as my lab rats🫶🫶

If you encounter any problems, please let me know. I also plan to create more exploration interactions for other rabbit holes (such as the Abandoned Warehouse, School etc.) in the future.

Have fun!
