Sims not drinking reward potions

It's all of the rewards drinks and it happens to all sims of all ages (child and up obviously). It happens when I travel to a lot outside of my home lot (both at the lot that I travel to and on my home lot when I travel back). It appears to reset if I change my active household to a different household and come back to the original active household - which I already have to do because infant milestones stop working on my home lot if I ever leave as well....It's incredibly annoying all around to have to do this work around constantly to keep the game functioning.
