Unable to Hire Ranch Hand

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? 1.99.305.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All EPs, SPs, and GPs.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Selecting the phone and 'hire a service'.
What happens when the bug occurs? I try to hire a ranch hand, both by prompting at the 'hire a ranch hand' option at the board and 'hire a service' in the phone, but it does not appear as an option whatsoever.
What do you expect to see? The option to hire a ranch hand.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

This bug has occurred since I got Horse Ranch. When I turned off all mods, the option appeared, so I went through my mods folder and removed each mod individually, then all of them (meaning script mods, not CC). The option still did not appear. I am doubtful that it is a piece of CC that is causing this issue, though it's possible. Attached are the screenshots of my hire a service option list.

  • You said that turning mods off completely does make the option appear though, correct? So it sounds like it is something in your mods/cc.

    You’ve removed all script mods and deleted the cache? Then yes, time to start testing the rest of it. Try the 50/50 method. Take out half of what’s left, and test again. If the option appears, put back half of what you took out and test again; if it doesn’t, take out half of what’s left. Repeat until you’ve narrowed down which mod/cc is causing it.
