Can't attempt spice festival challenge/buy from stalls

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? Fully up to date
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a Sim attempt the spicy curry challenge or purchase anything from the stalls at the Spice Festival.
What happens when the bug occurs? When attempting the spicy curry challenge, the action will either cancel before they can pick the curry up, or they will pick it up, only for the action to cancel and the curry to disappear. Also, upon purchasing anything from the stalls, my Sims will either cancel the action to buy it or cancel the action to eat it. Only foods on the buffet can be eaten. When purchasing food in the Spice District without the festival, it still can take several attempts to get your Sim to purchase their food.
What do you expect to see? Sims should be able to attempt the spicy curry challenge and purchase/eat from the food stalls at the Spice Festival. They should also be able to properly purchase food from Spice District stalls in general.
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. The most recent patch

As of the most recent patch, my Sims can no longer attempt the spicy curry challenge or purchase and eat stall foods at the Spice Festival. Only the buffet food appears to not be bugged. Spice District stalls in general also seem to be bugged, at it often takes several attempts to get my Sims to purchase food from them. I have not seen this happening in any of the other districts.

  • Since I just tested the spice festival for your other issue and had no issues at all, could you please test this on a new save as well ?

    Any last exceptions ?

    I am very frustrated now. I just tried a new, unmodded save, and my Sim purchased food from a Spice District stall just fine. At this point, I think there are two possibilities: Either a broken mod, or the bug specifically happens when it's raining, because it was raining at the time that I first noticed it, and it wasn't raining in my new save. I still think it's odd that this is only happening in the Spice District. If someone could link me to the mods that were broken by the latest patch, that would be very helpful.

    Thought you removed all mods ?

    Wasn't raining in my game either so I can try that on the next spice festival.

    I think I might have misclicked in the original post. Will edit that.

    EDIT: Clarified that mods were in fact enabled in the first post.

    It's better if you always test without mods before making a post. Mods are not supported and I really want everything tested on vanilla before reporting. Every report takes up resources and if there's mods involved, it's not something they're going to fix and yet, they still need to have someone testing.

    So please, I can't stress this enough: Always test your issues on a vanilla game. If it still happens, try on a fresh game and test if you can recreate that never saw mods.

      

    Thank you.

    Moving this to tech for now. Feel free to come back if it starts happening on an unmodded game.
