Fortunately this doesn't seem to prevent completion of the "Light fireworks at the Humor and Hijinks Festival" phone call event NPCs can give you when the festival is in town. You're given credit for lighting a firework even though you T-pose.
The exception errors mention the Finchwick Fair and look something like this:

EDIT: I've also tested this with fireworks my sim purchased on the computer and tried lighting at home in their yard. Same failure to complete the action
Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title
That said, since this fireworks bug is still being seen by some players, there is probably another issue occurring which was not resolved by the first fix.
For anyone still seeing this issue, would you be willing to share affected (and unmodded) save files?

Basically what's written here. I noticed it at the humor and hijinks festival. Bought fireworks, tried to light them and there was an animation bug and they failed to light them. I recently did the upgrade and also purchased a bundle of Island Living, Outdoor Retreat, and Spooky Stuff.
Hm yeah it doesn't happen when I start a brand new save, but I confirmed it still does in my existing save. What kind of information does the save contain? I'm wary about sharing files from my computer, but I also understand it's necessary for debugging purposes. Is there any identifying information about my computer, previous mods/items I had installed, etc? How do I know which save is which because they have obfuscated names like "Slot_0000000f.save"?

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?Create a sim and go to the humor and hijinks festival. Try to take a drink to join either side. After a few real life seconds, a last exception occurs and then it doesn't appear like you can join either side. Pranksters and Joksters don't appear on the fountains anymore. You can still join, it just has this visual glitch. Also, sims cannot light fireworks at festival. What happens when the bug occurs?"Join the Pranksters" and "Join the Joksters" leave the fountains and are replaced with drinking certain kinds of teas. You can still join the groups by drinking from the fountains but it doesn't specify which group. When it comes to lighting fireworks, the sims get reset and do the T-Pose for a split second and don't do anything. What do you expect to see?"Join the Pranksters" and "Join the Joksters" staying on the fountains and no last exception produced. Also, I expect fireworks to go off. 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.Patch after Cottage Living.

I have attached all of the last exception files that have been created by my game.
If you'd prefer not to share publicly, you can send me a private message with the link.
Also, to answer your previous questions:
I'm not aware of any identifying information in the save file.
The save file may include some information on mods or cc that you've used before.
If you go to the Load Game UI, which you can access from the main menu, you can see which file corresponds to which save slot by mousing over the little icon next to the Sim's name when you have the save slot selected.
@SimQARobo sorry I don't use Google Drive or OneDrive, but I can upload it to SednGB and then send you a link to that via PM without password protection.
Hi - I'm trying to send you a link via PM and it's not letting me send it. Says 'access denied' for some reason. I'm trying to send an unmodded save...
I have this bug too. I was on my Home lot and purchased the Fireworks online. Sims still can use the sparklers (holding them and lit), but none of the fireworks did work.
