[BH] Sims spawning with closed shop, constantly T-Posing

Has anyone been experiencing this after adding Businesses & Hobbies? 

I have a home business and even though I haven't opened my shop yet, there are random NPCs spawning in from of my house glitching like this and I can't interact with them. 

I have updated and removed broken mods, removed mods altogether on a clean save, repaired my game, exited to world view and reloaded the lot, reverted to older saves & tried both manually resetting the NPCs by typing their names and shift clicking to reset.

I'm so frustrated because, while it's not impacting any other gameplay at this point, multiple NPCs will spawn like this and after a while it clogs up the max number of sims on lot and sims will stop showing up to my business. Also, it's just very unsettling! Lol

    I have not but will! And yes, it is still happening even when travelling to other lots.

    Can you walk me through that or point me in the direction of where to find instructions?

    Try the following

    - Close the game
    - Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    - Repair the game
    - Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. 
    - Start a new save game
    - Check if you still have the error
    - Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

    Followed the steps and still no luck... when you are able, would you be able to instruct me on how to go back to my old tray and save files?

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

    Instructions to get your stuff back (short version)

    Since it didn't help, you can just delete the new user folder the game made and rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old back to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4
