Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
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? 1.75.125.1230
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I own all packs except Journey to Batuu.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? After finish a potion trying to bottle up or bottle all up.
What happens when the bug occurs? The potion bottles up in a red plastic cup instead of their proper bottle.
What do you expect to see? To potions be correctly put in their own bottles, not in a red plastic cup.
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? No
So it was my own version of Halloween in the game and my sim was making potions in the cauldron, finished it and then I noted this:
So I went to the inventory and the bottle of the potion looked fine:
I tried to place it in the world and it seemed fine while I dragged it, but after I put it off my sims inventory was again a red plastic cup:
This was the second time that it happen, the first time was with other potion the same sims day, I re-do the potion and saved just my sim finished it, before “bottle up” interaction and repair my game, then went back and while bottling up the bug was still there; regardless, I have photos of that first potion:
Apparently this happens now that I try to make new potions, to be honest I don't think it has to do anything with the update because the proper-bottled potions that is in the photos is the last one that I did in this safe after the update, and I already was playing in the latest version for a while, I'm not sure if it has to be with any of my mods, especially the scripted ones, I removed them but I'm going to keep testing, I just wanted to post the bug as soon as I noticed.
Hope this help everybody that could experience this bug, A.

Hi @Taurisa
moving this to tech for troubleshooting
Does this happen to every single Sim ? Is it stuck ? How does the potion icon look in your inventory ?
Good Luck

I tried as much potion's I could and it happens only with some pitons not with all. Some are stuck and some have a weird red cap. Now I tried fourth time game repair (no CC and mod) and I started a new game and there is same problem in the new game.
