Henford-on-Bagley NPCs changing

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.109.207.1020 DX9
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except a few kit packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? If i knew I wouldn't be posting.
What happens when the bug occurs? NPCs in Henford-on-Bagley keep getting replaced by random sims. They haven't died, or been played with. Most often the Mayor and Grocery Delivery Guy, The Creature Keeper and the Pub Owner. Don't know what triggers this bug.
What do you expect to see? The normal NPCs
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

Been noticing for a while that sometimes the NPCs in Henford-on-Bagley suddenly change. The OGs are not dead neither got married/joined another household or have been played. 

Already happened with the Pub Owner and the Grocery Vendor once, the Creature Keeper about twice or three times and more often with the Mayor and the Grocery deliverer. 

Tried to repair the game and problem persists.

No mods installed/activated.

    @Nakuruclaud I think this is what happened to the hermit in granite falls in my game.. I just don't remember who the guy was to verify my suspicion. Now the hermit is an erratic lady. I don't have aging on, but since when can that dude die?
  • Sims in roles loose their roles if moved in (or possible if they move somewhere else in case of the pub owner).

    In case of the hermit this is a bit strange as they are a hidden household and shouldn't be affected by the NS, I do think there's both a female and a male version tough. Did you have a guy first in that save game or in a different one ?
