[FIXED] [ECO] [CoL] NPC Sims not filling regular positions

I can confirm I'm seeing the same thing in HonB

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? In both saves I've started since the Jul 26/22 update 
What is your current game version number? 1.90.358.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansion, game & stuff packs. Most Kits
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to Henford on Bagley
What happens when the bug occurs?  The grocery owner, mayor, pub owner, grocery deliver & creature keeper are not the usual sims
What do you expect to see?  I expect to see the usual sims filling the grocery owner, mayor, pub owner, grocery deliver & creature keeper roles in a brand new save. They are still in manage worlds
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? I removed my mods folder for the update, it's still out 
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? After the July 26/22 game update

As I mentioned, I do see the sims in manage households, however I took my sims to Finchwick on their first day in the new save (i.e. Sunday) and the roles had been placed by random NPCs, all except the Crumplebottoms.  I had this happen twice, I restarted my save after I noticed it and the same thing happened. I've not yet tried an existing save, though in the first save I didn't see the creature keeper and in the second save I've not yet seen the grocery deliver. I tested in an old save where I had visited HonB before the update and the pub owner and the grocery shop owner were the usual sims.  I tested in another save that I'd started before the update but not played in and not visited HonB and the pub owner were random NPCs.

Edited on July 28/22 to add that my sim was unable to get an errand from the Mayor shown here and the Agnes Crumplebottom in the world. My sims returned to Finchwick the following Saturday and there was a new mayor, still not the original one, but my sim was able to ask for an errand from her. There was still no option for an errand for the Agnes Crumplebottom in the save, the message was that she had 'no errands at this time' even though my sims had never done an errand for her (and it's usually there as soon as I start a new save, I almost always do the errand for her in my saves). This is the new mayor in the same save that now has errands for my sims:

Here's the Agnes Crumplebottom that doesn't have any errands, though she is noted as the Garden Shop Owner, however I've only seen Agatha Crumplebottom in the stand in this save. Her outfit seems a little different than I remember, she is also noted as a participant in the Finchwick Fair as my sim was able to compliment her on her fair entry:

I also found the grocery deliver when my sims were at the fair, however it wasn't Rahul. 

End of edit.

Best regards,
Jennifer

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.91.205.1020

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Expansion Packs: High School Years, Cottage Living, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Discover University, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Get Together and Get to Work Game Packs: My Wedding Stories, Dream Home Decorator, Journey to Batuu, Stranger Ville, Jungle Adventure, Parenthood, Dine Out, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat Stuff Packs: Nifty Knitting, Tiny Living, Moschino, My First Pet, Laundry Day, Toddler, Fitness, Bowling Night, Vintage Glamour, Backyard, Kids Room, Romantic Garden, Movie Hangout, Cook Kitchen, Perfect Patio, Luxury Party Kits: First Fits Kit, Little Campers, Moonlight Chic, Blooming Room, Incheon, Industrial Loft, Fashion Street, Courtyard Oasis, Bust the Dust, Country Kitchen, Throwback
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Visit the Grocery stand, the Creature Keeper, Pub, Fair or Order Groceries. 
What happens when the bug occurs? The Creature Keeper, Grocery Shop Owner, Mayor of Finchwick and Pub Owner keeps getting replaced with these random NPC although I’ve never played any of them.  This was fine when I first purchased Cottage Living on release.  I’ve tried everything from deleting the NPCs to repairing the game and nothing works.  Plus, the normal NPCs that came with Cottage Living are still walking around the world with their assigned roles.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the proper NPC that came with Cottage Living in their assigned roles as is illustrated by the picture below.

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? I only have CAS cc and I removed the folder, deleted localthumbcache.package, and started a new save to test this.  I play off line so there was no need to delete anything in the cache folder

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? It appeared after the 7/26/2022 patch before High School Years was released. 

The only ones still assigned correctly are the Crumplebottoms.  

This is how it was and how it should be:
