Could only order books I already owned then it got worse

So after the latest update at the end of June I had started a blank slate game and noticed I could only order books my sims already owned from the bookshelf or computer in multiple saves. I don't have mods and am playing on a windows laptop.

I then followed the Clean User Folder guide and now I can't order books at all from the bookshelf or computer. The option doesn't appear on bookshelves and the order section of the computer doesn't have a books option or an order upgrades option.

I did a backup of my saves and reinstalled the entire game and still am having this issue with completely new, redownloaded game and with old saves still in the backup.

Is this an issue with one of my add ons? If reinstalling the game and using an entirely newly developed save doesn't work what should I do? This seems like its an issue with the actual game and not my saves since it has only gotten worse after reinstalling.

    So after uninstalling the Bridgerton kits I am now able to order books through the bookshelf and computer. It looks to have all the books now and the previous order selections that were missing from the computer(like upgrade parts) is back.

    Now that I have an idea of what caused this should I avoid redownloading my kits? Or should I try redownloading them and see if reinstalling them will bring the issue back or see if it's fixed?

    You can just disable them through the marketplace.

    So I uninstalled all the kits the Marketplace would let me uninstall(everything except the bridgerton one which I got as a collection) and am still unable to order books through the bookshelf or computer. I'm going to try restarting after removing the bridgerton one and see if that helps.

    Yes I have bought several kits. Should I uninstall them and see if any of them are causing the issue?

    By add-ons I mean expansions, stuff packs, game packs and the kits. I have all the expansions, stuff packs and game packs and a lot of the official kits.
