Horror genre book can be submitted to the reader digest without any cooldown

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? Expansion Pack: Life and Death, Lovestruck, For Rent, Growing Together, High School Years, Cottage Living, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Discover University, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Cat & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get to Work Game Pack: Werewolves, Dream Home Decorator, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Jungle Adventure, Parenthood, Vampires, Dine Out, Spa Day Stuff Pack: Nifty Knitting, Moschino, My First Pet, Laundry Day, Vintage Glamour, Backyard, Romantic Garden, Movie Hangout, Perfect Patio, Holiday Celebration Pack, Grim's Goulish Guitar
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Write an horror genre book. Submit it to the reader digest. Write an other horror genre book and then you can submit it again to the reader digest without having to wait for the one week cooldown.
What happens when the bug occurs? We can submit an infinite amount of horror book to the reader digest without having to wait for the one week cooldown. If we write an other genre, the bug doesn't occur. It's like the horror genre book doesn't count.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to submit only one book per week to the reader digest.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After I bought the Life and Death expansion pack. (Because the bug is related to the horror genre book that came with that expansion)

To create the bug: Write an horror genre book. Submit it to the reader digest. Write an other horror genre book and then you can submit it again to the reader digest without having to wait for the one week cooldown.

I expect to be able to submit only one book per week to the reader digest.

    What is your current game version number? 2.3.2.2310

    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All content installed.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 

    Via the mailbox, submit a Horror book to the Literary Digest.

    What happens when the bug occurs? The next horror book can also immediately be submitted to the Literary Digest without a cooldown period of 1 week as specified on the mail box.

    What do you expect to see? I expect the 1 week cooldown.

    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console never used.

    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Unsure 

    Images attached of the option being available Monday, later that same day and the following day despite submitting books to the Literary Digest. The way to get the cooldown period back is to submit a book from a different genre. My Sim writes Horror, Mystery and Children's books. I've never noticed this before and many of my Sims are writers but this is my only horror writer.
