[V] [EBN] Can't improve hygiene with odorless perk after sprayed while foraging

So I recently bought Enchanted by Nature, and I'm playing a vampire Sim who's out foraging for apothecary ingredients when he rolls one of the pack's new random luck-based events: specifically, the one that causes the sim to get sprayed with foul-smelling liquid by a bug (as in, an actual insect) which instantly tanks their hygiene, and which can usually be remedied by a quick shower.

However, my vampire Sim happens to have the "Odorless" vampire power, which permanently locks their hygiene at 100%, so they never have to bother with bathing ever again. One would assume this should also make them immune to things that would ordinarily wreck a Sim's hygiene (and, so far as I can tell, this has been the case in  previous packs).

However, my Sim immediately didn't just get his hygiene level set to zero (with the stink lines and +2 uncomfortable moodlet that comes with it), no, it got permanently set to zero. No matter how many in-game hours I had him try to wash himself in the shower, the meter would not budge. The only possible fix I could think of was the Draught of Reconfiguration, which allows vampires to reset their powers (and which also costs 1000 simoleons and requires level 14 vampire lore skill); otherwise, he would be stuck with permanent bad hygiene.

TL;DR: I found a bug where, if a vampire Sim with the "Odorless" vampire power (from Vampires) encounters the random event where they are sprayed with foul-smelling liquid by an insect while using the "forage" interaction (from Enchanted by Nature), it will permanently set their hygiene to zero and make it impossible for them to successfully or meaningfully bathe or shower so long as they still have the "Odorless" power. Clearly this is some sort of programming oversight--a conflict between the way vampire powers work and the way luck-based random events in Enchanted by Nature work--and, hopefully, a fix won't require having to remake either.
