Did a test game with a new Sims 4 folder, no mods/cc no saves.
Made a new Sim to start, bought a massage table, hired someone, tried a couple different types of massages and they worked fine. Then tried the hot stone massage. Each time I tried this massage they would start placing the stones down and then reset.
I switched to different households to try different ages and genders. Teens/YA/Adult Sims - Female and Male.
No matter what age/gender I tried, when selecting the hot stone massage it would start, and place 3 stones and then reset.
