Earlier today, I reported a bug where a shop, and NPC, near my sim's home lot were showing signs of an endless loop. It now appears the shop has been deleted or otherwise disappeared - leaving the NPC walking around where the shop used to exist - as if searching for the shop. Based on the thought bubble above the NPC's head, the game code detects the shop is gone, yet the NPC's instructions do not know how to respond.
@TheSolidRequiem Did you perhaps leave the lot as commercial? That might explain their confusion.
