Inventor Sims, borked?

Alright I am not sure if I am missing something or not but here goes it.

I have a sim that is at level 10 of the inventor's career, I am now a Master Inventor and everything she makes comes out as "Masterful". The problem I am experiencing is that when I go to her Inventors skill log, where you can check out all the bonuses you have, it says that she has only learned 88% of the available inventions. I set her to invent for pretty much 5 days straight (just cheated so she didn't die), however all she ended up finding constantly was the retarded Gnomes of Invention. I have googled this, and looked up countless guides (most of them are retarded as heck), and found nothing. Anyone have any idea if this is a bug or if there are some other inventions out there? So far I have been able to make all the widgets, big inventions, toys and cheap toys I have seen listed.

Stupid question:  Have you made the simbot yet?

Yup, I have made everything that was listed in all the guides I have read. I've made both female and male, I've made normal, improved and masterful inventions of every kind as well.

Are there 'evil' inventions, similar to the evil toys in OFB? I haven't heard it mentioned anywhere yet, but if there were, that might be your missing 12%.

Failing that, have you checked the gamplaydata file against the the inventions you've made?

I'll have to look into this, I guess I'll cheat and make her evil and see what happens. I'm not sure how to check the gameplay data, never had the need to, I'll look into that I suppose.

Okay playing around with AwesomeMod that allows me to get extra options through testingcheats, I found these:



I didn't click on any to spawn them yet, as I don't want to f up my game, making a back up of it first before I do. I can guess what some are without having to look, fish tank I think may be the duck.

Okay so this is what I got:



WindUpToy is the Tentacled Wind Up
Leviton is the Floating Duck
Fish tank came up empty
StaticCoil was the Localized Static Tester
MoonGlove is the rotational pull
Drinking Llama, is as it says the Drinking Llama
Carousel is Flying Fighters
Robot came up empty
and Newtons Cradle is the Smasher

So possibly the robot and the fish tank are some of the missing inventions, to be able to spawn them I think they may be skill dependent.

Okay so there was an option "Learn all Inventions" I used it and I learnt 100%. Those 2 missing ones listed on the spawn are actually the missing 12%, however when I make them nothing appears in the inventory, so it looks like it's borked at the moment, hopefully they fix this soon.
