Quick meal fridge bug

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.102.190.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All packs except for a few, so it's shorter to just list the ones that I DON'T have yet: save for Growing Together, For Rent, My Wedding Stories, Journey to Batuu, Home Chef Hustle, Perfect Patio, Tiny Living, and I don't own any of the Kits.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Instruct a Sim to retrieve a quick meal from a refrigerator on the lot.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sometimes when my Sim wants to get a quick meal from her fridge, she does the animation to show that she can't route to it. But she can route to the refrigerator properly to cook or retrieve food from it, so I know for a fact that it's not a routing issue. This produces the same resiult when choosing any quick meal option; she does not own a microwave, so I'm not sure if the options would work on that item.
What do you expect to see? My Sim can sucessfully retrieve a quck meal from her refrigerator.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

I ran into this particularly annoying bug on the household of a future celebrity actress Sim: Sometimes when she wants to get a quick meal from her fridge, she does the animation to show that she can't route to it. But she can route to it properly to cook or retrieve food from it, so I know for a fact that this isn't a routing issue. I have the same bug when choosing any quick meal option; she does not own a microwave, and I'm sure that lack of the item is not the issue; I specifically chose some quick meal options that didn't involve the use of a microwave (like chips and cold cuts). But those options produced the same fake routing issue.

For the sake of completeness; The lot that my Sim lives on lacks the Simple Living lot challenge, or any lot challenges that might influence refrigerator items (she was using the Crisponix Adequate when I encountered this bug). I have my mods turned off via the game's function for that, but the mod files are still in my Sims 4 mods folder. And I tried resetting both the Sim and the fridge to see if that would be a potential solution. But to no avail; does anyone have a workaround? 😞

EDIT; just tried the interaction again, and somehow, the Sim actually did the interaction this time! 🙂 This bug might be related to travel, but I need to do some further testing to confirm this.
