Customized Portable Computer is not portable

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? 1.58.63.1010 (64 bit)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All DLC
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Buy the Customized Portable Computer (from Strangerville DLC). Attempt to move it into sim's inventory.
What happens when the bug occurs? Nothing. The computer cannot be dragged into Sim's inventory and the "put in inventory" option is missing from the radial menu.
What do you expect to see? I expect a portable computer to be portable
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 

‌

The "Standard Portable Computer", also from Strangerville DLC, IS portable. You can drag it into the inventory or just click it and select "put in inventory". Logically the fancier version should be portable as well, but it's not.

The portable computer from Discover University is also fully portable, either by clicking it or just dragging it into the sim's inventory.

    @TheSteelRodent I do have the interaction to put in inventory on that computer and it works too. Haven't tried dragging.

    It's under more for me.

    I didn't try at Uni so does it work for you not at uni ? Which swatch did you use ?

    @crinrictthis was just when I placed it on a regular dining table in an ordinary house in Windenburg. Pink colour swatch. Didn't think to check if the colours make a difference. Will have to try that. And yeah, the inventory option is on page 2 or 3 of the menu for the other 2 laptops.

    Edit: Alright, this is weird. Went through all the colours and it still refused to act like a portable computer. But when I sold it and re-bought it, the "put in inventory" option appeared on the new computer, even though it's the exact same. I hadn't even done any of the upgrades on the bugged one.

    Guess it's a glitch that caused it to become a normal computer? Don't know.

    @TheSteelRodent I've also tried the dragging, existing save, household in brindleton bay, no issues. Tried several swatches, including the pink one.
