Of course I'm sure that it can be, but . . . damn!

It's easy!
1) Recruit three sims.
2) Make about 3 extra vaccines. Science Career level 5, when you can make the cloning machine, or spell caster* using the copypasto spell make this easy!
2.5) Go to the secret lab to attack the mother plant. Your recruits will magically show up when you attack If you have more than 3 recruits you can select which 3, probably useful if you screw up and have to retreat.
3) Select Charge in your group orders. You should never need to change this.
4) Throw vaccine and do a mega spray.
5) Keep checking the pie menu on the mother to see when you can throw another vaccine+megaspray, and do it as soon as you can. You end up throwing about 3 vaccines and doing 3 mega sprays.
6) And it's dead! salad time, right?
This is great. Now, bring it back to life but don't choose any weirdness
. It grants wishes! You can use these wishes to level up fast in that science career I was talking about! You get one wish per day. So, sim goes to work, comes home, and visits the mother plant for another wish. Time is 24 sim hours from the time the wish is granted, tho, so at first it's 8PM, 9 PM, 10PM etc.
* strangeville is almost unplayable without a spellcaster now that EA "fixed" the game with an update. The old way you ALWAYS got 5 spores at the lab and 1 spore in town. Now? The batteries in the spore scanner are (almost) always DEAD at the lab, and you usually get no spores in town.
Your options are bb.showhiddenobjects and "buying" 20 or more spores, or having a spellcaster who can "copypasto" one spore you might find around town into 20+ spores; 15 for the profile and 5 more for the sample vaccine. The cloning machine cannot clone spores! Not even with the "clone sim" from the level 8 science career! Does that seem right to you? You can clone a whole full grown sim but not a stupid spore?
Once you have a sample vaccine make more with the cloning machine or copypasto spell. You need at least 6 vaccines (3 people and 3 to fight the mother plant), but I've found that sometimes you "cure" someone and they just walk away before they can be recruited to fight the mother plant, so I always make more.
Oh, when you set the weirdness of the mother plant to restart the mission? All your vaccines become "sample vaccines"!
Don't forget, you can upgrade sample vaccines into vaccines at the chemistry station in the lab.
I tried modding the chemistry station so that it can work like the lab's chemistry station so to avoid a special trip to the secret lab. i also tried to undo the EA "fix" the spore scanner to make the game more "fun". And the cloning machine so it can clone spores. I am terrible at making mods, tho.
Sims are better than us.
