I can confirm that the fan is supposed to be functional but isn't.
Proof that it's supposed to be functional: There are 7 tuning files for the fan, for example "animation/object_handfan" and "interaction/object_EV009_handfan_fanSelf". When I open the one ending with "fanSelf" I can see that there's code for cooling the Sim down if you have Seasons installed and they fan themself when they're Overheated. There's also code that has to do with when a sim is Flirty, but I'm not good enough at reading tuning code to figure out what happens when the Sim is Flirty and uses the fan.
Sim holds a folded handfan in their hand and has a thought bubble about routing error.The fan has two interactions, "Put in inventory" and "Put away". When I try the "Put away" interaction, my sim holds the folded fan in their hand and get a routing fail thought bubble. I've tried this interaction both from having the fan placed in the world and in the inventory.
I tried to click on the fan both with Temperature Effects turned on and off, and both when my Sim didn't have any temperature related Moodlets and when they were Overheated, but there's no option to fan yourself.
