How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.96.365.1030

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? On Winterfest, have Father Winter show up. Greet him. Open interaction menu and open all options. If it matters, I had classic pie menu interactions selected.
What happens when the bug occurs? There is no option to "Ask for Present" anywhere.
What do you expect to see? An "Ask for Present" option, which existed before the latest patch. Maybe just under "Friendly", or maybe under a subcategory (Small Talk, Activities, what have you.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Patch 1.96.365.1030 - didn't have this problem before this patch.
I haven't yet tried disabling my mods, but I have no mods that ought to be impacting Father Winter in any way, and I was using the same mods pre-patch. I can try without the mods later.
Upon going over the topic after the merge with a previous topic, I see a suggestion to evict Father Winter from his house. THIS WORKED. So if anyone else is having the same problem I am, just find Father Winter and put him out on the streets.
