[GRO] [LD] 'First Loss' Milestone doesn't appear

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? 1.110.311.1020 DX11
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Every EP, GP, SP and Kit currently released (Life and Death being the most recent pack)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a Sim witness a death.
What happens when the bug occurs? Normally the Sim should get a Milestone for witnessing their first death, but nothing occurs. I held a funeral right after to see if it was an issue with Milestones in general, but that one worked fine, so it must be unique to the specific Milestone. I also tried multiple death types to no avail. Also, when you force the Milestone to occur via mods, the Milestone doesn't show which Sim passed away, even if you try to force to attach a Sim to the Milestone.
What do you expect to see? For the milestone to appear when your Sim witnesses death, and for the milestone to show which Sim passed away.
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? No

    @odaphii Is this a LD milestone only ?

    EDIT: NVM, seems it is. Find this a bit odd.

    EDIT EDIT: I'm a bit unclear about the second part of the bug report. Since the milestone doesn't' appear, it is possibly a mod/cheats issue that the Sims isn't attached or did you have the milestone at some point and it also didn't attach there ?

    @crinrictWith UI Cheats, you can cheat milestones in and even choose to associate them with;

    - Items (birth certificate for instance)

    - a location

    - a trait unlock (like self discovery)

    - a Sim associated with the milestone

    For instance, "Got Married" that shows your Sim's spouse on the milestone, where they got married, and associates a marriage certificate with the milestone.

    First Loss doesn't seem to work with any of those unfortunately.

    I only managed to get the milestone to appear with mods, it refused to appear organically both in a modded and vanilla game ☹️

    @odaphii So it could be a mod issue that they don't attach properly.

    Guess remains to be seen if it's also an issue without mods once the other issue is fixed.

    Good to mention it but for now, I removed that part from the title.

    From my tests: Sims don't get first loss if they are off lot/at rabbit hol/another lot when a known/close sim dies. I can duplicate it never showing the sim that was losed? lossed? idk what the word is in english but yeah. Both seem like bugs.

    Sims should receive a "First Loss" and a "First Funeral" Milestone, but I've yet to see either one. Not in my Test game or my regular game.

    All my test deaths were from being eaten by a CowPlant (easiest to manufacture without cheats in a vanilla game). 

    Deaths were all on home lots. Funerals were at the new Cemetery.
