[OPEN] Researching some plants does not result in notebook entry

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? 1.104.58.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get To Work, Cottage Living, Eco Lifestyle, Growing Together, High School Years, Seasons, Horse Ranch, Werewolves, Strangerville, Parenthood, Outdoor Retreat, Jungle Adventure, Romantic Garden, Nifty Knitting, My First Pet Stuff, Moschino, Luxury Party, Laundry Day, Holiday Celebration, Fashion Street Kit, and Desert Luxe Kit.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim with adequate gardening skill perform the Research action on a Blackberry or Grape plant
What happens when the bug occurs? The progress circle on the action continues as normal, but when the action ends no notification appears and no notebook entry is created.
What do you expect to see? A notification appearing informing me a notebook entry has been created, and a corresponding entry in the sim's notebook.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

This may be happening with other plants as well, but the household I'm playing with only has two in season species of plants right now (the other is black bean, which was researched with no issue) so I don't have further data at this time. EDIT TO ADD: The in game season has changed and now that the grape plants have grown enough to be researched, they have the same issue.

While I have used mods in the past, this save was created in a game with CC disabled and has never been played with CC enabled.

I bought a lot of packs in the recent sales, so it's unclear if one of them might be responsible.

Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title.

  • This issue also happens with the Crystal Creation's Crystal Tree. You can research it, but nothing gets added to the notebook.

    Sonad, that link just redirects to this very page.

    I am having a similar issue as OP, except I can't even get a Gardening Tab on my Notebook to present itself in the first place, no matter how much I research. No tab, no entries.

    It is not :D It goes to old topic and our messages are merged with it, at least for me! Anyway, just in case, the topic from January is: 'Researching some plants does not result in notebook entry'.

    Your issue sounds like a new bug unfortunately, I suggest creating a new topic for it.
