[NEEDS INPUT] Dirty Dishes showing as piles of sand

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? 1.54.120.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Famous, Cats and Dogs, Island Living, City Living, Get Together, Seasons, Get To Work, Jungle Adventure, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Perfect Patio, Laundry Day, Backyard Stuff, and the freebies.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim clean up dishes after eating- but cancel the interaction... the sim will put the plates down (on a table) and then the plates turn to sand piles (or ash piles?). This was not in Sulani, it was on a Windenburg lot (new game- and played for a couple sessions).
What happens when the bug occurs? sand/ash pile appears instead of dirty dishes
What do you expect to see? dirty dishes not being transformed to sand piles
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. Patch 1.54.120.1020, which also came with the install of IL at the same time

As per usual- I have repaired, done the back and forth with tech, always do the delete localthumbcache, and have done the "uninstal the hard way" (https://help.ea.com/en-ca/help/origin/origin/manually-uninstalling-origin/#hard-way) repair.... It is an issue with coding in the game. I suspect this issue stems from the coding in the beachcomb (trash) strings.

    Hi @InfiniteVerve,

    Thanks for putting this bug report together. 🙂 In your report you've listed the game version as 1.54.120.1020. Could you update the game to be the current version please and let us know if that changes this for you.

    Spoiler

    Update The Sims 4 base game:

    1. Launch the Origin client. If prompted, log in using your Origin information.
    2. If an update is available, you will see an orange icon on the game tile.
    3. Right click the game tile and choose Update.

    @EA_Lanna I am not updating because there are even more bugs in the last update. I have been watching the many bug reports from the latest patch and it's not worth messing up my game any further 😉

    @InfiniteVerve I can confirm this. For me it happened once in a vanilla game with all packs in Sulani, latest updates installed. There is a spellcaster in my household.

    @alanmichael1 Thank you so very much for adding to this, and sorry that you had to have the latest patch. This was super awesome of you to make note that it happens in your game (which has the latest patch). I appreciate it 🙂
