[NEEDS INPUT] Can't upgrade tablet

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? 1.50.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Deluxe Edition of the game and any of the available free expansions.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You should be able to get this by attempting to upgrade the sketching tablet. Being in the required upgrade level, with the required upgrade objects. For me this happened at level 4. With level 4 not being enough.
What happens when the bug occurs? The level needed upgrade level is equal to the players skill level, but it still shows that you need a higher level. The higher level being the current level that you've already obtained. This is most likely just some visual bug purely. Hopefully.
What do you expect to see? At first i expected to just be able to do the upgrade. As the last message told me that i only needed the current upgrade objects, which i then obtained. But at this point i'm expecting that there's a higher level requirement, which is being displayed as my current level instead. I also checked if i had mistaken my current level, but after looking at other goals my level was clearly the target level to be able to upgrade the sketching tablet.
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? No

  • @crinrict - that's odd, I wonder why it didn't upload. And of course, I deleted it fro my computer a couple days ago, sigh.

    Yes, the "Upgrade" option is greyed out, and when I mouse over, it says I must be level 4 to upgrade. In the screenshot, I showed my Sim's handiness skill at level 10 (and since it's worth noting, I did this without the cheat, so that can't be to blame).

    I had another Sim in the same household with a 6 Handiness, and he was able to upgrade it. I'll buy a new one and see if I can get it to repeat.

    @fairefaerie If you can repeat it, it would be good if you could upload your Sim that has the issue to the gallery.
  • @crinrict - Now that she has the "instant upgrade" trait, she doesn't even see an upgrade option on the tablet any more. Is that expected?

    Rather - she clicks "upgrade" and only has the "instant upgrade" option

  •  Just on the tablet. However, i actually didn't delete my image! Here's the original issue

    I don't know why my image upload won't work, so I uploaded it elsewhere and am hoping the embed method will take:
