[ARCHIVED] [HR] Multiple ranch hands

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What is your current game version number? 1.82
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Horse Ranch, Island Living, Werewolves, Vampires, Dine Out, Paranormal, Laundry Day, Backyard, Perfect Patio
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I am not sure how it happened. My sim was saddened after offering a piece of her soul, then while I was doing a seance to cleanse the house, I got a notification for a ranch hand being hired followed by about 10 more.
What happens when the bug occurs? Multiple ranch hands are hired without me hiring them. They appear on my property and when I fire one they all get ‘fired’ but not actually because they won’t leave. When I try firing again it won’t work.
What do you expect to see? Nothing. I already hired a ranch hand days before this happened.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

It is not allowing me to take a picture and says file is too large. 
however, I hired a ranch hand days ago when I first got the ranch expansion pack which was a couple weeks ago. Today, 11-11-23, I got a notification a new ranch hand was hired when I never hired anyone. It was followed by about 10 more of the same notification. They all physically appeared in my property. I fired one, they all gave me the same notification for when you fire one but they never left. I tried firing again, it didn’t work. My sim did the action and the ranch hands respond, but no notification and they don’t leave.  I matter how many times, and I don’t know which ones which because they won’t leave and there’s too many of them.

    I'm on console and I'm also having the issue with the ranch hands. I hired one, and it seemed OK for a few days in game, but then one day he never went home. He never seems to get tired or anything. And then more of them appeared. I think I have three now.

    I have an issue where every time I reload the save, even just traveling to and from the lot, the ranch hand changes. I get a notification that I have hired a new ranch hand, and the old one is still there if I reload the save during the working hours, 7am-7pm. It's very annoying.
