    Sims should now actually be able to finish writing songs. Perhaps those of us with closets full of unfinished projects should take notes.

    Fixed in Patch 1.103.250/1.84

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? PC: 1.99.264.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Get to Work, Journey to Batu, and a few stuff packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have Sim begin a new project such as writing book, painting, nectar making
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim will “work” on the project so that the skill bar increases but no “progress” ever finishes on the crafted item. Sims will “make nectar” or “paint” or “write book” for literally an entire sim day or more but the crafted item is never “done” nor will it appear in the inventory. My first Sim to ever use the nectar making skill got to skill level 4 over 3 days on the first nectar batch with the batch never being done. The green circle around the task in the task bar is full but the task continues and no nectar is ever made.
What do you expect to see? I expect sims to finish 1 painting in a few Sim hours and for the painting to be in the inventory.
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. Game update before Horse Ranch expansion

I think I found a factor in the problem, and a possible work around. On PS5, anyway. 

I had lined up nectar making tasks for my sim - he was doing energy nectar, and I scheduled grape too. He would not progress with the energy nectar. After several hours, I stopped him. Had him discard the batch.

Saved the game.

Shut down the whole system (so the game closed too) and restarted it. Sure enough, he was able to start and complete a batch.
