I have the same thing, well similar. Father Winter was visiting my lot on the holiday and stayed for a few days, slept in the bed of the children and even cooked and so on. I don't have any mods or cc in my folder (never used even) and I didn't get rid of him. Couldn't kill him as well, because when I did a sim of my household died!!! Even with the Ranchhelp, the ranchhelp is not going home! When I fired him, another ranchhelp appeared and he/she didn't go home and the other that I already fired stayed as well. I have said this in the Dutch Answers HQ and they think that it's perhaps simular problem/bug as Father Winter.
I moved my household into an empty lot, then there were no ranchhelps or Father Winter, when I buldozed the lot, and rebuild my home on the old neighbourhood (the one from the pack with the horses) and I moved my household in, the 2 ranchhelps appeared again! Please help???
Picture 1 and 2 were from last week before I moved my Sims and the 3rd picture is from today after moving them back into a new lot...
Greetings Monique
