Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? play the "Aliens Atole My Parents" senario with a richer family, be unable to pay bills as a teen-- Repo person arrives, they do not leave.

What do you expect to see? Repo person repos stuff and leaves!
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
After a repo person arrives they're supposed to do their job and go.
Otheriwse you can't save, can't leave the lot, can't do anything extra.
Fortunately the teen and kid can still go to school, but they can't leave lot otherwise (ex: to shower at a gym and compensate for no water)
The first repo person didn't reposess anything either, just showed up and started chatting and helping my teen with homework. She was neither doing her job nor leaving.
Because they were still not paying bills, about 2 sim days later a second repo person arrived, this one reposessed things properly, and he left, but the first repo person stayed! The ability to save was still greyed out.
The game still stated a repo was in process.
I tried enabling cheats and debug reset her, no effect** edit, I should clarify, she T-posed and was suddenly standing she did reset-- but there was no effect in the sense of she wouldn't leave.
She got a book, sat down and stayed put.
I tried to shift click and cheat her dead by killer bunny, and it killed off my teen sim instead. I lost the senario, but the repo person was STILL there.
In the end I had to quit without saving.
This was my first time attempting the senario, so I don't know if this is commonly an issue.
(On a completely different save, literally a different installation of windows I once had mods, but I haven't had them in years. So that's definitely not the issue.)
