[OPEN] Not getting invites (Patch 1.106.148)

I used to at least get festival invites (spice, romance festival, etc) but since the bigger patch last month those have stopped too. 

I know this thread doesn't have a lot of people Me Too-ing it or chiming in, but I found a reddit thread of a fair amount of people having this problem : Link 

It mentions a mod that I'm going to try out later today (when it's not 03:45 in the morning lol), I'm really hoping it'll fix things cause I really would like to experience these features, it makes me a bit sad how dead my sims' relationships feel with others outside the household.

And because I forgot to add this last time I posted:

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? 100% of the time.
What is your current game version number? 1.109.207.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I think you would need a save from someone having this problem as it doesn't seem to affect everyone; but that said, just play for a while and notice there's no invites, events, stay overs, cupid's corner calls (wealthy weirdo, 7 perfect dates), playdates, restaurant invites, festival invites, etc. Researching genealogy on the computer doesn't generate any family members for stay overs either. 
What happens when the bug occurs? There's no invites to random events from sims outside the active household.
What do you expect to see? Invites, events, stay overs, cupid's corner calls (wealthy weirdo, 7 perfect dates), playdates, restaurant invites, festival invites, etc. For researching genealogy on the computer to generate family member and have them stay over.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, but I have also removed all of them and cleared cache, and the issue persists regardless of whether there's mods or not, on both old and new saves. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the game, to no effect.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? It's been a problem the whole time I've played - I've had Growing Together since it came out but I've literally never gotten a stay over request.
