[CoL] Grim Reaper stuck in loop when fighting with evil hen

Even after I asked the evil chicken to not help and sold the chicken, the grim reaper still lingers. He won’t leave the family and sims can’t interact with him. I have tried many times to ‘reset object’ but it doesn’t help. Turning off Tempe game doesn’t help either. No mods are impacting the game. 

Same thing is happening to me right now. They just keep fighting over and over. 

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? 1.87.40.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get together, cottage living, cats and dogs, city living, discover university, eco lifestyle, get famous, get to work, seasons, parenthood, spa day
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Have evil chicken in coop with “evil chicken help” enabled 2. Have any sim die.
What happens when the bug occurs? When household sim: this sim will be “killed” & lie on floor “dead” and other members of household will start crying and get sad moodlets. If animal (eg fox): the animal will lie “dead” on the ground. The grim reaper will circle the property but not kill anyone. It will get in fights with the evil chicken over and over again. The game will be unable to save or exit. This happened to me three times, once with a household sim, once with a household cat, and once with a fox. Each time I had to ask the evil chicken to stop providing evil chicken help so the game could continue.
What do you expect to see? The grim reaper to interact with the evil chicken in the intended way and for the sim or wild animal to be killed or spared with the chicken’s help & for the game not to get stuck in a phase where you cannot save or leave the lot

Whenever an animal, I encountered this with a wild fox and a chicken, dies, the grim reaper comes to get the animal. However, the evil chicken is supposed to fight off grim, but they keep having fights. The solution I found is to put the evil chicken into the sim's inventory to let the grim reaper take the animal.

I had the same problem a few days ago.  The game was up-to-date with no mods installed.  I have Cottage Living, Seasons, Growing Together, Parenthood, Cats & Dogs, Cool Kitchen, Desert Luxe, and Backyard Living.  My lot includes some debug items and some items placed with bb.moveObjects, but everything near the chickens was functional, so nothing important was blocked.

There was an elderly befriended fox dying far off my lot, and I had a Sim from the household over there witnessing the death. 

Grim seemed to be trying to reap the dying fox, but he spawned on my lot and walked past the chicken coop (why???) and kept fighting my evil chickens.  I don't know who was winning, but the fights repeated a number of times.  Grim would go only a little distance away and then approach the chickens again.  The chickens were in a fenced-in area, so he was getting quite close to them -- they weren't chasing him.  I did have more than one evil chicken -- maybe four adults?  So maybe there were enough of them that when one lost, another was ready to fight again.  This went on for a *while*.

At first I didn't know why the death was taking so long, but I scrolled around and found the chickens and Grim.  The behaviors kept repeating.  I finally broke things up by pausing right after each fight and asking that chicken to stop using its powers.  When I finally did that to the last evil chicken (they were hard to keep track of, so it took a while), Grim went and took care of the fox.

There were no obvious chicken deaths in progress, but some chickens were getting old and I might have misunderstood the notification popups about that.  But on the other hand, I didn't have my first chicken deaths due to old age until a later play session, so I don't think there was a dying chicken involved this time, or if there was it must have gotten better (if that's a thing).  There were no other animal deaths going on that I know of.

Unfortunately I don't have save, in part because saves are disabled when this is going on!

I have this happening in my current save. I have two evil chickens and the grim is stuck in a loop. I was able to stop it once by adding grim to family and then moving him out (but then if anyone else dies again it will just be stuck again). Once I locked the door to the chicken coop and grim left, but then it came back (at this point I'm not sure if someone is dying or he is just stuck). Even if you somehow manage to fix it, every new death just results in him getting stuck. Also, sometimes I am able to save the file, but sometimes it says that I cannot save the file while sim is dying.
