Chat function is bugged for child sims [ Edited ]

[SynCode]

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.52.100.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? City Living, Get Famous, Seasons
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? With a child sim selected, click on a PC, select 'socialize'>>'chat with'. Then select a sim for the child to chat with. NOTE: [Please note that this issue does NOT occur with young adult/adult/elder sims. Only child sims are affected.]
What happens when the bug occurs? When the child selects someone to chat with on the PC, instead of chatting with that sim, they 'chat in kids chatroom' instead. NOTE: [Please note that this issue does NOT occur with young adult/adult/elder sims. Only child sims are affected.]
What do you expect to see? I expect for the child sim to chat with the selected sim on the PC, and for their relationship to increase appropriately.
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 

‌

When a child sim selects someone specific to chat with on the PC (like a friend for example), instead of chatting with the selected sim, they 'chat in kids chatroom' instead.

Tested this just now with child.

Under the "Chat with ..." option there was a selection of children and older Sims.

I tested by choosing a child then a second chat with an older Sim.
It does appear they are chatting with the selected Sim.

Both times the action was displayed as "Chat in Kids Chatroom".
This might be 'by design' to keep the kiddies safe.

@SynCode Has the text ever been different ? For me they do seem to chat with the person I choose and the relationship increases even if the text is different.

Maybe it's on purpose that it says that on the icon.

Yeah, since it says "Kids Chatroom", it's most likely By Design.

I don't remember this before either, though.
