7 Wild Dates Broken

When going on a date to a restaurant for the 7 wild dates challenge, my Sim can complete the main goal (socialize with your date), but nothing she does counts towards mini goals. We can order food and eat it, but it won't count towards "order food for yourself and your date" and we can enthuse about flavors, etc for a long time and it still won't count towards "socialize about meal". I have found no workaround and am simply unable to complete the challenge. I have no mods or CC and am up to date on all games other than the recent hobbies expansion and any kits following that launch.
