Serenade on Piano not working

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? Version: 1.96.397.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Together, City Living, Seasons, Island Living, Discover University, Snowy Escape, Cottage Living, Parenthood, Dream Home Decorator, Luxury Party Stuff, Romantic Garden Stuff, Backyard Stuff, Bowling Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a Sim with level 6 Piano Skill stand beside a piano with a Sim they have a romantic relationship with and try to select "Serenade" on the Piano.
What happens when the bug occurs? The Serenade option is greyed out and says the Sim can only serenade a nearby romantic interest, even though they are beside the piano with their romantic interest Sim.
What do you expect to see? The Serenade option to be available
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

As you can see in the screen shot attached the option should be available, but it isn't.

  • @sallycutecat I tested this and it works fine in my game but I haven't tried on your pack combination.

    Before I do that, to be sure: How did you remove your mods/cc ? Did you delete the localthumbcache file ? Did you test another couple/save to see if they have the same issue ?

    @crinrict The mods were disabled in game. I only have a few small ones that disable certain autonomous actions. I don't use script mods. 

    I didn't delete the localthumbcache file. Do you mean the one that's called localthumbcache.package?

    I haven't tested with another couple.

    @sallycutecat Yes. that file.

    Might be best to move the entire mods folder to the desktop, then delete that file and see if the issue persists to rule out any mod conflicts.

    Would be good to know if it's limited to that couple as well.

    @crinrict Done what you said and the problem is still there. I tried out other couples from other saves and a new save and it's the same for all of them. The option is still greyed out.

    @sallycutecat Thanks.

    It's possible that it's not working if you're missing a certain pack. Hopefully others will post if they have the same issue. Currently don't have much time for testing myself.
