High level musician can't write or license songs (Option missing)

I have been playing Sims 4 since late 2023 on PS5. I have 12 DLC's 

I noticed that sims can no longer write songs on guitar. This feels like a rather new issue given that when I first started playing. My first sim was a musician. But now the option isn't there at all and have tested it with different households and yeah,not working. It sucks cause a whole aspiration gets comprimised. I have 3 different families where the sims with that aspiration is just stuck unable to progress given the write four songs part. No idea why is this happening

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

Please use this thread if you have the option greyed out: Can't license songs/Greyed out option | EA Forums - 12574813

    Hey, I know this is an old thread but I'm getting the same error in my game and would like to share some info. I'm playing on the oldest save file I have, I have a sim with level 7 in guitar and violin but the option to 'Write Song' is not showing up for me when I click on the guitar.

    I normally play with a couple of simple mods (1/2 speed wolf fury; x2 effective plasma juice for vampires, etc. no UI cheats, no Better Build/Buy, no heavy mods), but for this I turned off mods and restarted the game prior to checking. For these screenshots, the game was 100% unmodded.

    I have tried selling the other guitar and buying a new one in the hopes that that'd fix it, but no such luck. Currently I'm unable to progress in the 'Musical Genius' aspiration as it requires 4 songs to be written.

    About the pics:

    • guitar_01: showing I'm high skill in guitar and violin, no cheats were used.
    • guitar_02 and _03: no 'write song' option when I click the guitar with the correct sim.
    • guitar_04: mods disabled and game was restarted before screenshots were taken.

    Additionally, I have sent you a message with my affected save EA_Solaire​.

    EDIT: Please disregard my whole post 😔 somehow I forgot writing songs is unlocked at level 8, for some reason I thought it was at level 6. Apologies for the confusion!
