NPCs Behaving Unusually

Currently having a big problem with my game with NPC Sims acting strangely.: Whenever going to a community lot such as a bar, there will be no customers. Bouncers and mixologists will leave the pr...

@puzzlezaddictThanks - will definitely give that a shot! The Sims all stand on the movie theatre lot, but outside of the rabbithole building. They all just stand there: some of them build snowmen, some converse, some just stand idle. Resetting makes them go back.
Tried switching to an NPC household and the Sim I reset (before the active household switch) had an action queue full of "visit [movie theatre name]".

EDIT: Just tried this: the Sims still congregate on the empty lot. Also tried changing the lot to "no visitors allowed" and a residential lot, but they still remained. Switched active households and they had "visit lot" filled in their queue.

I have a Sim who is in the film career - I've read that there's an issue surrounding this? But that was a thread from 2010...

@danielr02  Do you use mods, or are you willing to try a few?  I'd suggest adding NRaas ErrorTrap and Overwatch, if you haven't already, and perhaps Register as well, and definitely MasterController.  MC has a town reset option (NRaas > MC > Town Options > Reset Everything) that might help here.

    @puzzlezaddict Installed MC to do the Reset Everything (not sure how to use the others). Also tried resetting the theatre lot but neither to any avail.

      @danielr02  The other mods can simply be installed and left alone.  They all work on their own without any need for user input.

      Do you use any other mods, and if so, which ones?

        @puzzlezaddictThis is the first time I've used mods with the game on this computer (the nraas one I just downloaded). Never used CC neither.
        Interestingly, I had my Sim visit Egypt and the NPCs act normally there. Still were broken in Bridgeport when I returned, though.

        Also tried running a job with the film career at the theatre, then resetting the lot. And quitting my Sim's job and resetting the lot. Nope.
