Spellcasters No Longer Magically Speed Stirring The Cauldron

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? The most recent patch
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions except Discover University. All game packs, All stuff packs except for fitness, toddler, pets, and backyard.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play as a spellcaster experimenting on the cauldron. Keep going till they rank up to Acolyte or Master. Pay attention to how they STIR.
What happens when the bug occurs? We all know new low ranking spellcasters will physically stir the cauldron with their hands like a lame newbie. Eventually as they rank up and buy Blender Arm and the other speed perks they (are supposed to) switch to the hands free magical stiring and keeping the flames going. Since the recent update all Active Played Master and Virtuoso spellcasters are stuck looking like newbs when they stir. Now the NPC spellcasters running arround the magic realm do speed stirring just fine. Those of us active ones however are no longer switching to speed mode when ranking up. Worse yet my older spellcasters who did speed mode just fine before the update have embarrassingly reverted to Newbie Stir mode and getting exhausted.
What do you expect to see? Spellcasters speed stirring like they are supposed to when they rank high enough to do it.
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 last one to prepare for Discover University.

As written above. If my advanced spellcasters aren't embarrassed by how they are stuck stirring like a newb, I am embarrassed for them. 

*facepalm* 😱😒

And yes I do play with mods. Yes I removed them, cleaned everything up, played a clean game, and it still does it. I even ran a repair through Origin. Still didn't fix the problem.

And Im not sure if its a buff or not, so don't know what I am looking for to even cheat it back in. 😒
