[DU] Research machine lets you research Thanatology when L&D not installed

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Suomi
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.111.102
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Almost all of them, excluding Life and Death
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Click the research machine -> Research -> Research Thanatology
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim does the research as with other skills, and in the end there's a notification "Researching "Thanatology" has increased Sim's Thanatology skill." but it doesn't actually affect any skill.
What do you expect to see? Only the skills that I have in my game.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After Life and Death update

Research Machine pie menu has the option to Research Thanatology even if Life and Death is not installed.

  • @januksenkosketusThanatology is a base game update that came with the Life and Death base game update that changed ghosts, you don't need life and death to play the Ghost occult, but you won't get all the good features that come with life and death like soul journey and rebirth. Your just get play as ghost or have the ghost wonder the world. 

    Edit:  I forgot you won't get the active career that comes with Life and Death, but notice sure if you get the other career or not.

    @Sid1701d9 Hello, I just wanted to let you know that the Thanatology Skill is exclusive to Life & Death and is not part of the base game update.
