[OPEN] [ROM] Unable to purchase or win wand recolours

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? 1.56.52.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Purchase wand in the caster's alley or win wands by duelling. For comparison, do the same with brooms.
What happens when the bug occurs? All of the recoloured brooms are available for purchase (on a rotating basis) in caster's alley, and can be won by duelling. None of the recoloured wands can be purchased or won.
What do you expect to see? Wand recolours available for purchase or as rewards for winning duels.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Has been the case since Realm of Magic came out. Unaffected by patches.

I have won/purchased approximately 150 wands and 165 brooms across two saves, using seven teen and adult sims ranging from Neophyte to multiple ranks of Virtuoso spell-caster.

I have been able to purchase all of the recoloured brooms in caster's alley and/or win them via duelling, having multiple copies of each recolour and winning them on a fairly regular basis. 

I have never won or been able to purchase a recoloured wand.

I could not give an exact figure, but would estimate that I have won over 70 duels across these seven caster sims. I have never had a recoloured wand as a reward. I have never seen one available for purchase in caster's alley. I have never found one while searching for tomes in the bookshelves.

Given these statistics, I would state with some confidence that there is some sort of bug or error preventing the wand recolours from being available for purchase or as rewards.

I have also seen this reported on the Sims forums, but I am unsure whether it has been reported here.

ETA: Edited to add game version number.
