New update and i already have a glitch

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What is your current game version number? 1.98.158.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? cats and dogs, city living, cottage living, get famous, get to work, vampires, werewolves, island living, city living, parenthood, seasons, my first pet, toddler stuff, university, snowy escape, realm of magic, strangerville, get together
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? A cottage living fox died of old age on my lot. The grim reaper has not shown up but did show up for one of my elderly chickens.
What happens when the bug occurs? I cant save the game, I cant edit or do anything to advance the story. I have not saved in hours. My sims cant travel anywhere because it keeps saying a sim died.
What do you expect to see? I expect my game to save and work like it has been earlier. testingcheatsenabled and shift + click are not working.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After the recent June 16 2023 update I am having this issue. I never had this issue before, brand new to me.

Here is the fox that died on my lot but the Grim Reaper has not shown up and its been well over a day (in-game).

  • @AquaMeow14 After posting this the Grim Reaper finally appeared (nearly 2 sim days later) another fox had to show up and then the Grim showed up as well. The issue has been resolved.

    @AquaMeow14 For next time: Use testingcheats true in the cheat box ,then shift click on the fox and use Reset (object) (or something along these lines)
  • @crinrict As I mentioned in the original post and I quote "What do you expect to see? I expect my game to save and work like it has been earlier. testingcheatsenabled and shift + click are not working."

    @AquaMeow14 You can also use resetsim firstname lastname but I don't know if that works on foxes.

    How does the cheat not work ? Even if the game is in a non-save state, cheats shouldn't be affected by that.
