Sims ordering chips and filling every surface with bowls of chips

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? 1.59.73.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Discover university, Island living, Get famous, Cats & dogs, City living, get together, get to work, realm of magic, parenthood, Vampires, Spa day, outdoor retreat, toddler stuff, romantic garden stuff, spooky stuff, luxury party stuff, holiday celebration pack, and grims' ghoulish guitar.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? During a wedding have a bar and a mixologist/bartender and allow sims to order food/drinks themselves.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims will go to the bartender and ask for chips, after getting the chips they will place them down on any surface then go back and repeat the process until the event is over.
What do you expect to see? Sims order, receive and place down uneaten chips and go back to the bar and the process repeats.
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 

‌

I believe this happened after a patch update that happened today but im unsure. The issue only started happening after Origin updated.

    @SireLazyWolf Is this for your own Sim ordering or NPCs doing it on their own ? I tried to duplicate but was unsuccessful so far.

    I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. This occurs with both my sims, and npc's that order food. Whether I make them buy chips or they do it themselves it seems to happen.

    HI @SireLazyWolf 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
