[FIXED] [S] Can't give gifts to other sims with certain items in the inventory

It happened again. I am looking for the culprit. Defiantly a bug that EA should fix. 

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? 1.105.332.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All Expansions, Game Packs, Stuff Packs, and Kits except the Dust kit.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Select Give Romantic or Friendly Gift, to select a gift from your Sim's inventory.
What happens when the bug occurs? When I select "Romantic Gift" or "Friendly Gift", it doesn't open the inventory selection box and I receive a Last Exception error.
What do you expect to see? I expect to have the selection box pop up so I can select a gift from inventory to give to another Sim.
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. This bug appeared after the February 27th, 2024 patch updated in my game, the patch in preparation for the Crystal Creations Stuff Pack. Shortly after the download of that patch, this bug began to appear.

I have done suggested workarounds such as making sure there is no spoiled produce or paintings in my inventory, and this bug still occurs. I used TwistedMexi's latest Better Exceptions mod to break down if it is a mod and even removed mods one-by-one to see if it is a mod, but the bug still happens on vanilla game and the Better Exceptions report states that with all mods in place it cannot locate a bugged mod and lists the bug as possibly "ui_dialog_picker" as the source of the bug. I am not sure how to fix this, but it is getting annoying and it makes it so my Sim can't gift a crafted jewelry ring or anything for Love Day or any other day frankly.

I have heard a similar thing happening with giving a food or drink to toddlers. My Sims do not have toddlers yet, so I am unsure if this is the case with my toddlers as well. However, considering it is happening with selecting something from my inventory for gifts, it is more than likely the case for similar selection processes.

This time nectar bottles. Lots of other bugs. 

Reported fixed in today's patch.

@Redphun and anyone else posting recently-- do you still experience the bug with the latest patch?

I have tested a few gift giving interactions with either prepared meals or paintings in my sim's inventory and sometimes both. I was able to get the picker to come up for the following things I tested:

- donate gift to Scout charity (Seasons)

- give romantic gift

- give gift (painting) to birds (CoL)

This was after the March 6, 2024 e-patch. I play on Windows 10 through the EA app, my game version is PC: 1.105.345.1020, my mods folder is out, localthumbcache deleted and did a game repair after updating. I have all packs except Modern Menswear. I had experienced an issue with doing scout donations with prepared food in my inventory prior to the update (and also couldn't submit a pie for the Finchwick Fair, but that's not going on so I can't test that). 

Best regards,
Jennifer
