Instant Upgrade doesn't do anything when using it to upgrade the talking toilets from City Living.
The action completes, and disappears from the upgrade menu, but doesn't actually apply any upgrades to the toilets.
The Instant Upgrade option in the interaction menu:
Performing the Instant Upgrade:
Instant Upgrade complete without any of the upgrades actually being applied:
This happens with both the Talking John and the Potty Mouth 2.0 talking toilets.

Same here. I've been having this issue ever since I got City Living expansion and it seems to be occurring still in the latest patch. However having sims manually applying the upgrades works as normal, with or without instant upgrades prior to manual upgrades.

That upgrade has not worked since City Living, was released. It used to remove any manual upgrades as well. I have been upgrading one with the instant upgrade every time a new pack is released but have yet to see the upgrade work.
