Crafting Onward Gnome cancels

I went to have my sim make a gnome at the woodworking table and chose this "onward" gnome. My sim did not finish it, left materials on the table, and I couldn't finish it. It would allow me to create other gnomes. First try I had mods and cheats on. I turned cheats off and tried again. It didn't work. I turned off the game, removed one mod (just settings from BBB but the main mod was already out previously), came back, tried again, no gnome again. Went back and removed all mods (MCCC, UI cheats) and tried again. Still no gnome at the end after trying to craft. Turned off the game, started a new save with no mods or cheats on. Tried both the original and reclaimed woodworking tables in most of these attempts. The new save behaved the same way.

My video of the new save won't upload. It is 71 mb and it won't allow it. But you can see what happens in this first video and that is what happens each time.
