Vampires cant drink plasma packs

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? eveything except starwars and wedding story, i have like 5 kits, green house, more plants, vaccum, and the free one.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Be a vampire and try to drink a plasma packet of any kind
What happens when the bug occurs? It just does the thing above the head where the sim cant get to the object and cancels the action, I tried with Townie vamps and vamps ive made, i tried loading into different lots, Ive removed all mods and repaired the game throught the launcher and every time in every location ive tried with multiple sims, When you try and drink a plasma pack they wave and say they cant reach the object then cancels the action.
What do you expect to see? I want them to drink the plasma pack instead of not.
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? Neutral/Not Sure

    I did what you said and plasma packs work again, is there a way to get my save file to work again?

    First only put back your save game

    Copy all content from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old\Saves to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Saves 

    If there's a duplicate because of the new save you created, either just overwrite the file if you don't want to keep the new save or rename the new one to a different number that hasn't been used.

    Now test again. If it still works, you can put the following folders back (just copy the content like you have done for the saves to their respective folders

    - Screenshots

    - Recorded Videos

    - Tray (your houses and households)

    - Custom Music if you have any

    Test again.

    If it still works you can move on to your mods folder.

    Copy stuff back in groups. Start with CC, most should be fine., then your mods but do make sure they are compatible

    @Narccia Then it's either a broken save game or something specific is keeping you vamps from using them. Did you try more than one vampire ìn that save ? Tried the same vampire in another save ?

    I figured it out to an extent, I tried other vampires. making new ones in create a sim, playing as vlad  and them, none of it worked but what worked in the end was that i moved off the lot i was on, idk if the lot is broke or what happened, but i never used mods other than mcc and this one to help find graves and the first thing i did was remove those. It all works again now so im not gonna complain and just hope it doesnt do it again.

    @Narccia Check your mods for newer versions, too. You might just be on an outdated version, especially of that second one.
