Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Français
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.84.197.1030

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
It first happened on a shop lot (I made a wedding all in one shop) with a sims that had completed the Master chef aspiration. Too many factors at play here. So I tested at home with a new family. Same issue. If tea spoils, the teaset is ruined. Resetting it wont work, reseting the sims wont work, all I can do is buy a new teaset.

Noticed this last week in another save. When I made a new one today the same issue was happening.

Oh man it’s the tea set! I was playing today and noticed whenever my sims were sitting at their dinning room table they would get the dirty boot thought bubble and act disgusted but there were never any dirty plates around but I do have a tea set on the dinning room table that they haven’t even used yet. Now i know what it is and here i was going crazy thinking there must be a plate magically stuck in between the table and the wall. I hope that gets fixed soon because that is absolutely annoying!

I've been playing a save for almost 5 sim weeks, and they keep doing the animation - shortly after I added a tea set. I've asked sims to help with cleaning and ordered people to clean- quite often with people ending up picking up a toy or mopping a puddle outside, The tea set had been cleaned after brewing, however I did put all the cups into the fridge for later.

so glad other people noticed this bug! my sims mom dropped by and despite noticing the bug I had him serve her some tea just to see if I was going crazy or if the dang thing was bugged! I hope they fix it soon this is like the tea brewer all over again.

My sims are doing the "smells bad" animation with this tea set even with brand new/ never been used sets straight out of build/buy. Brewing one batch and immediately cleaning it did not help. For now, these tea sets are banned from all of my houses.

Ahh, so this is the reason! I have also placed tea sets in quite a few of my Sims' houses, and never understood why they would always do the "bad smell" animation even though there were no dirty sources around them.

As of 2/23 this is still a problem for me. It sucks because I love tea and having the set in the living room. Currently, the set is only useable if you can ignore everyone making a bad smell gesture and thought bubble. It doesn't seem to cause a moodlet as of now.

Please fix this bug!!!

Just had this bug start happening and it was driving me crazy all day yesterday. Finally figured it out, deleted the set and saved. Purchased a brand new one and once again, same thing. I can't have any of these tea sets on the property, which sucks since I was enjoying them with a previous family. FFS please fix this.
