Scientific breakthrough

A Scientific Breakthrough is feature in The Sims 4: Get to Work. Scientific Breakthroughs are an event when Sims have a revelation in which helps Sims figure out new recipes for Serums and Inventions they can build with the Invention Constructor.

Scientific Breakthroughs happen when a Sim who works in the Science career does something that aspires them. Some interactions such as reading a book, using a microscope, tinkering etc. will have a light bulb next to them. When Sims do the interaction a light bulb appears above their head and when it is lit up the Sim will have a Breakthrough shouting "Euronka!" at the new discovery. There are four levels to a Scientific Breakthrough, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.

When a Sim is Focused they will receive a Scientific Breakthrough much faster.

When a Sim makes a Scientific Breakthrough, Sims can check their notebook, which they can find on the Computer or the "Open Notebook" button at the top of their phone UI next to "Silence Phone", and see their new discoveries under the tabs of "Serums" and "Inventions".
