Drone "Recorded Footage" Video Type

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? 1.96.365.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Growing Together, High School Year, Cottage Living, Cats & Dogs, Seasons, City Living, Get To Work, Get Famous, Island Living, Discover University, Get Together, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Vampires, Realm of Magic, Parenthood, Dine Out, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Laundry Day Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff, My First Pet Stuff, Toddler Stuff, Movie Hangout Stuff, and Spooky Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Click "Begin Recording" on the Gotta Stream 'em All Streaming Drone, and then do an activity, then wait until after the drone's batter either dies, or you end the recording yourself, and read the name and description.
What happens when the bug occurs? Every action I seem to do while my drone records, once it ends, it titles the video "Recorded Footage," very vague title.
What do you expect to see? Usually, the automatic name it gives will be an indication of what kind of video you recorded. The experience I had before was the name it gave me when I did an action like having my drone record while I play guitar, is the title would say "Guitar Video" or something similar. Now with all of them being labeled "recorded footage" it seems like my drone isn't processing the activites I'm doing.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
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 deleted some mods I had before, I installed 4 expansion packs and 2 game packs, and installed the newest update with infants.

Last game I was using this drone to record videos was maybe a week ago. At that time, if I were to have my drone begin recording me, and then I were to do an activity such as guitar playing, cooking, fishing, etc., was the title would say something along the lines of "[Activity] Video" similar to on the video recording stations, if you were to record a beauty tips video, the title it gives you automatically would be "Beauty Tips Video". This recent game play, however, which I think I began on this recent huge update, March 16th, whenever my sim attempts to record with the drone and do an activity, it just says "Recorded Footage" as if it's not processing what I'm doing, and it's just a random recorded video.
