Cannot evolve plant that is ready to be evolved

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? 1.71.86.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Journey to Batuu, Moschino, Paranormal and the kits
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Click on a plant that can be evolved to get menu.
What happens when the bug occurs? There is no option to evolve.
What do you expect to see? The evolve option.
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 

I logged into the game this morning and was checking to see if I could fertilize any of my four newest plants. I could and did. Two showed the bracket afterwards on the quality bar that meant I could evolve them. They would be perfect quality then. However, when I click on the plant, that menu option is missing.

  • @crinrict How do you force an update? It is not updating automatically. I've even restarted my computer and Origin.
  • @crinrict I do not get that option. I get Play, Show Game Details, Add to Favorites, Repair, Game Properties, Hide and Uninstall.

    I bought Sims 4 base game from Steam and my extra content is a mix of purchasing them on Steam or through EA during sales. I am not sure if that is why I do not see an update option. I also do not see an update option on Steam.

    It is now updated to 1.72.28.1030 and it still doesn't show evolve. Edit: This resolved itself with time after a few hours.
