[S][V] Can't play spooky music on pipe organ

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? 1.108.349.1020 DX9
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Almost all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make a holiday with the 'spooky spirit' holiday tradition. (seasons needed). Buy a pipe organ (vampires pack needed).
What happens when the bug occurs? There is no option to play spooky music.
What do you expect to see? To be able to play spooky music, some action on the pipe organ marked with the holiday icon.
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. I don't know which patch, but I know it worked in the past, but usually I don't fulfill this tradition by using the pipe organ so I don't know when.

It is not possible to play spooky music on the pipe organ to fulfill the 'spooky spirit' holiday tradition.

If I remember correctly you need to have level 7 in the pipe organ skill to be able to play Hunting Music songs, so try to see if the issue persists after you reach that lv.

@Heddelviven Moving this to game issues as a potential misunderstanding.

What level is your Sim at ?

The guides online say haunting music at level 7.

@GiardiniDiMarzo has the right of it and all you need to do is practice pipe organ to raise the skill to the level needed to get the option to show up. I don't remember exactly what level the skill has to be, but level 7 sounds about right. It could be higher though. I tend to max the 3 three music skills that are available to children (pipe organ is one of those 3) while my born in game sims are children so my teens and above always have the option on the pipe organ so I'm a bit unsure on the exact level. I just wanted to add that children don't get the spooky music option regardless of skill level if I remember correctly. The spooky music option also appears to show up only during a holiday that has the tradition too. I do not recall it ever showing up at any other time.

Hope this helps.

@GiardiniDiMarzo @CGrant56 @crinrict you were all right. At level 7 the option to play haunting music unlocked and it fulfilled the spooky spirit tradition.
