[ARCHIVED] [LD] Ghost Essence not appearing in inventory

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? So far, 100%
What is your current game version number? 1.110.311.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Every expansion, game pack, and stuff pack except for DHD, HSY, and Horse Ranch.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Turn your living sim into a ghost temporarily using the Medium Skill's Ghastly Ritual, purchase ghost powers, and then try using them
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims that are temporary ghosts do not receive the ghost essence, even though the Essence-trials mission implies that they should.
What do you expect to see? I expect to receive the ghost essence.
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? No, I just tried doing this.

When I cheated to add a ghost trait to my sim (trait_Ghost_MotherPlant), I was able to do the same activities and earn the ghost essence. It looks like this bug impacts living sims specifically.
