Firaxium stereo upgrade makes sims complain about garbage

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.108.335.1020 dx9
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Upgrade a stereo with the firaxium upgrade, then play the game for a long time. It appears that the stereo will eventually still break like they used to but the game will now nearly instantly auto-fix the stereo. After that sometimes when sims enter the room with the stereo they will point at the ground and complain and the garbage thought bubble will appear.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims complain about garbage in the room.
What do you expect to see? Sims not complaining about garbage in the room.
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 

This has been a hard one to pin down, and is mostly anecdotal so I'm hoping someone can back up my observations about their sims constant complaining about garbage and not being able to find anything in the room after tearing it apart.  Deleting the upgraded stereo solves the problem.

    I've been having the same problem for a while now and I'm wondering why no one else has mentioned this.

    I am using a translator. Sorry if the text is strange.

    This has been an issue in my game for quite some time.

    I've gone through my sim's homes, even completely removing objects in the rooms: No dirty plates or mess hidden in shelves, no ashes from fires or trash left by infants or toddlers. I even spent an entire day rebuilding my sim's home from scratch last week because I was tired of my sims complaining about several messes in their homes (I also suspect an upgraded fireplace with fireguard upgrade can trigger it but I'm having a hard time replicating it. Upon reflection it is possible it could've be the television above the fireplace that was causing it but this was before I rebuilt the home from scratch).

    For clarification my sims don't receive any "Filthy surroundings" moodlet but when they are near an upgraded object they behave like this.

    I rarely use mods, and after couple issues in my game and with the recent patch fixes (which I should add are greatly appreciated) I'm playing my game with no mods so I can confirm it's not mod related. I only noticed that it may have been the stereos that was causing it as they all did the same thing at varying electric objects in my sim's home.
