Issue
Popcorn is not showing up in bowl after quality is improved from being garnished.
Steps you took for Issue to occur
Popped popcorn. Told my Sim to set the popcorn down. Told Sim to garnish popcorn to improve quality. When Sim began eating popcorn, it disappeared visibly from bowl, but Sim continued eating out of empty bowl

Where does the bug occur ?
Tested with different families on different saves with same results.
Mods/CC
I do not have any mods or CC installed in my game.
Expansion Packs/Game Packs/Stuff Packs
I own the Premium Edition of Sims 4, and own all expansion packs, game packs and stuff packs released as of 1-14-2016.
Occurring since
Happening since just installed The Sims 4 Movie Hangout Stuff Pack, loaded game, bought popcorn popper and popped popcorn. When my Sim (level 10 all cooking skills, Chef) tried to garnish the popcorn to improve flavor the popcorn became invisible. Also, her traits Essence of Flavor and Fresh Chef had no impact on the quality of the popcorn when it was made, but she was still allowed to garnish it, which created the invisible popcorn problem. I then loaded other saves of different test families with the same results.
Operating system
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate
Note* I posted this originally in The Sims Forum. It was suggested that I repair my game, and reset my Sims 4 folder. I did this, tested again, and the problem is still there.

I can't duplicate this.
It went from good to excellent for you ? Does the same happen for other qualities ?
Does it happen for all popcorn flavors ?
Good Luck

same as the OP it appears to happen when a sim with high skill can garnish a bowl of popcorn
also a bowl of regular popcorn was on the counter i wanted too move it to a different spot grabbed the bowl of popcorn and the popcorn became invisible although it still contains popcorn

I can duplicate it when I move the bowl.
Did you move the bowl as well when you garnished it ?
Good Luck

My Sim is a level 10 Chef with all cooking skills maxed. When she got a bowl of popcorn I cancelled her eating it so she would put it on the table to be able to garnish it. Once garnished, she picked it back up and sat at a table to eat it. The popcorn didn't disappear until the first piece was taken from the bowl. Sim continued eating as if it was still there. After this happened I switched to a test family with same results (also a high level cooking skill Sim). I didn't try the other flavors because I went to the forum to see if anyone else was having this problem.

found a temporary work around had my sim eat popcorn cancelled the action moved the bowl invisi popcorn went to build mode put the bowl of popcorn in the family inventory click undo
told sim to eat the popcorn after eating 5-7 pieces the popcorn re-appeared
edit to add a p.s.
how i found that fix was i moved my popcorn machine which had servings of popcorn in it and the popcorn became invisible i went to buy mode sold the machine hit undo back to live mode and the popcorn was visible again
