Island Living Fish Trap Not Working

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.80.69.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions except for Get Together & Get To Work, for game packs: Dream Home Decorator, Vampires, Dine Out & Realm Of Magic. Stuff Packs: Nifty Knitting, Tiny Living. Kits: None.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place 'The Admiral's Fish Trap' (from Island Living expansion) down in one of the Sulani Oceans and try clicking 'Set Trap With Bait..' or 'Set Trap' and if you are using the bait option, select something to put in there. For me, it isn't working.
What happens when the bug occurs? Its almost like the GUI isn't working so that I can select 'Empty Trap' or 'Check Trap', I have to continuously set the trap, and it still doesn't work.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the trap set, with 'Check Trap' and 'Empty Trap' as options.
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 

In a way, this affects my gameplay aswell. Due to me trying to make money from catching the fish.

    I just tried this on the waters in Tomarang. I did have to click place in world for it to set up and I can't remember if that's normal or not.

    When I went back to check it, I can't click it and nothing shows up. Did anyone find out what was causing this?

    Yes I've tested in a vanilla setup (no mods or cc ever installed).  Same thing.

    Hey, I was originally the person with the problem like 3 years ago - it did end up fixing and I don't remember exactly what did it, but one of the following methods will hopefully work. They aren't in order or anything or need to be done together its just what i remember: 

    Turn laptop mode on and off.

    ctrl + shift + c - testingcheats on

    reset object (debug) - (probably won't work)

    use sulani traits like child of the ocean etc

    repair the game on EA & delete localthumbcache

    Most of this if not all will probably not work but I hope it does because I remember how much of a pain it was.

    See mine is totally different I go into the water and try to place in world cause ( click and drag didn’t work ) but she just jumps like it’s glitching ( as if I reset object ) and nothing happens I sold the old traps thinking that was the issue but still after buying new traps and exiting game multiple times I’m still getting last exceptions from it and no mods in so I’m just lost
