[NEEDS INPUT] Adults playing Child-only Violin

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.134.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All packs now, but this was before Eco Lifestyle released
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have an adult with a child violin in their inventory, especially in Granite Falls
What happens when the bug occurs? Young Adults and Adult will play the child only violin if they have access to it (inventory)
What do you expect to see? Adults should not be able to play child only violins
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

Note: I had originally though this was related to the pre-EL patch, but in looking at my screenshots again i have realised it occured the day before the patch dropped as they still have inventory 1.0.

My main save's family are absolutely obsessive over needing to play violin. It got to a point that the young adults & adults were playing the child only variant that was in their inventory, which shouldn't be possible.

They obsess on their home lot, but normally only play when idle (& that's a 50:50 split between get water or play violin the moment they become idle) however it got excessive in granite falls & the children were cancelling actions for their needs in order to play violin. 

Obsessive to the point where they'd drop queues, stop eating midway through a meal, & get up from the toilet half finished, all to get their violins out. It was annoying, but it was when i noticed the colour of one of the violins in my adult's hands that i checked what it was before cancelling the action. 

The Adult was a normal sim, the Young Adult was a witch.  Both played the child only violins.

The violin queue & action dropping happened with both children, both with weak bloodline but only one who is able to grow up to be a caster (their mum is the YA).

I do have a backup of this save if it's needed.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I have a young adult sim, max skilled violin, and if I click to resume song from the sheet music in her inventory, she'll pull her old Amateur Hour Child Violin out of her inventory to continue the song. She has a full sized violin both in the room she's in as well as in her inventory. She also uses the child violin to Busk on Violin on occasion. She maxed her creativity as a child and got to level 3 of the violin skill prior to aging into a teen.
    What happens when the bug occurs? Young adult sim uses child's violin.
    What do you expect to see? Young adult sim to use adult violin.

    Violin does not let me Practice on it, though.
