Can't bathe pet- no option

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? 1.75.125.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Eco Lifestyle, Discover University, Island Living, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get to Work. Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Parenthood, Outdoor Retreat. Tiny Living, Laundry Day, Toddler, Vintage Glamour, Spooky, Cool Kitchen, Perfect Patio, Luxury Party. Country Kitchen- Kit.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get a pet and try to give it a bath.
What happens when the bug occurs? I try to click on my bath tub to give my pet a bath and it no longer offers the option, no matter what tub you try to use. Even after my pet had run away and was stinky it wouldn't let me bathe it.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to give my pet a bath to alleviate stinky pets/fleas.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The latest patch update changed the ability to bathe pets for me.

I have no mods installed or downloaded. I have tried starting a fresh game to see if it would change/improve the bug but it didn't. I noticed this bug after the most recent patch update.

  • @XAmazonianessX What a nightmare! (I have dogs IRL and the Sims.)

    You've probably already tried it, but, just in case, have you tried doing a repair through Origin? (It might take more than one go. Three seems to be a charm.)

  • Yes! I'm a pet groomer IRL so imagine my horror LOL! I have tried the repair once, yes, but maybe I'll try it a couple more times. No luck yet ☹️

  • After multiple repairs I can now bathe my dogs!! However, the option still isn't available for cats. Is that normal?

    I think that  is normal. Sims don't have to bathe for cats. 
    (Thanks for that, I really like have cats more than dogs in sims' life.)
