[NEEDS SAVES] [PS/XB] Unable to Clear Message Box if you Pick an object up

When picking up a plate as a sim is sitting down to write a book. The prompt appears on screen to Name the Book, and you cant click OK or any option because of the plate... so you have to close the game and restart Sims 4, losing progress? Happened twice now, cant seem to figure out any way around it

I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my controller, and mashing alllll the buttons and button combos lol

I also just tried using another controller, and then my controller died so the "controller disconnected" prompt popped up, replacing the Name the Book prompt, but i still can't select OK, so at least it's not just exclusively the name the book prompt...
