    When you live in a small village like Henford-On-Bagley, you get to know everyone on a first name basis. So seeing random NPCs working in the local pub was a shock for everyone. Now, only pre-made NPCs will start off behind the bar and other local businesses.

    Fixed in Patch 1.92.145/1.65

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

I was playing a new save file, no mods or cc, and there was multiple Agnes and Agathas as well multiple Cottage Living npcs (mayors, grocery store owners, grocery deliverers etc) but none of them were the official npcs. This happens on every new save I create. I don't have Eco Lifestyle but I found a workaround in a post related to that expansion pack.

I was able to "fix" that installing the "NPC Sims not filling regular positions" mod to place npc at their roles and then the "MC Command Center" to make it easy to me to delete the random npc at those roles everytime I see them around (and to teleport all the Agnes and Agathas to me to delete them). Maybe the multiple Crumplebottoms and random npcs at roles are related but I'm not sure, I need to check if the Crumplebottoms cloning stopped but I don't think so.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Portuguese
How often does the bug occur? Every time
What is your current game version number? 1.90.375.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, Get Together, Cottage Living, Get Famous, City Living, Dine Out.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Own the Cottage Living
What happens when the bug occurs? Multiple Agnes CrumpleBottom and Agatha CrumpleBottom spawning; multiple random npcs filling all the villager npc roles but not the official npcs.
What do you expect to see? Lavina Chopra as the mayor, Kim Goldbloom as the grocery store owner, Rahul Chopra as the grocery deliverer, Sara Scott as the pub owner, Michael Bell as the creature keeper, Agnes Crumplebottom and Agatha Crumplebottom as garden shop owners and only one Agnes and Agatha.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No, but my game wasn't stopping to create a lot of npcs at villager roles so I installed MC Command Center mod to delete them and NPC Sims not Filling Regular Positions mod to, well, make npcs fill their regular positions.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes, but just owning Cottage Living make the issue happens
Please describe the patch or change you made. I already had Cottage Living before the update patch for HSY (I don't own this expansion pack) and this glitch was there before that patch but it seems that it got worse after that update (now there's a ton of random npcs at villager roles). I bought Get Together, Dine Out and Get Famous after that patch but maybe the issue is not related to them (I'm not sure).
