Are there any inductors or transformers? I don't see any on the left parts panel. I want to make an oscillator.

  That's where the whole thing falls apart with these things usually. Oscillators are quite difficult to simulate because they require less than ideal startup conditions i.e. noise, voltage gradients to get going. While the SPICE engine underneath does support that, you can't really expect someone wiring up a breadboard to be completely aware of the nuances around simulation vs reality. This got to a point that Bob Pease of legendary analogue design fame, chucked a computer off a roof https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrZ_fMqd8k8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrZ_fMqd8k8

    also if your oscillator's q is high it can take a terribly long time in simulation to start oscillating

  Not currently, but useful feedback for us!
