Sims can't grab a serving to eat

I've finished the musical genius aspiration every generation for the previous six generations of my current family and the write song function stopped working this month with the 7th and 8th generations. They just never finish writing the song anymore. I tried replacing all my instruments, deleting all songs out of the inventory, having them try writing the different styles of songs etc. Sometimes the resume interaction works fine, sometimes not. It happens to me with book writing sometimes too where they were almost finished then the next day they start over. Book writing still works fine but nothing I've tried with song writing works. They just never finish the song. They get to the end of the circle where the finished notification should pop up and just keep writing. I had a full circle yesterday and let her go for 8 hours after the song should have been finished and she just never finished it with the notification message.
