So many random sims keep spawning at my residential lot since the new update

As the title says all of these sims keep spawning on my sim's lot. This is a brand new save I'm playing with the new Business and Hobbies pack. They'll spawn and just stand around outside, had to lock away areas or they'd try to come inside the house too. I tried to click on my sim to make them leave ("send all sims home" button) but it's not available. So there are just sims of all ages standing around outside for no reason. Here's a picture to show what I mean (even more showed up after this was taken btw)

    I've had the same issue, seems to happen with and without mods.

    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.

  • Did you fix this? I'm having the same problem since the last update and I tried to repair the game and remove mods and nothing worked😭

    I have no idea how but it just resolved on its own? 😅😭 The only thing I could suggest is the 50/50 thing, like removing mods and putting in one at a time to test and see which one may be causing that to happen. It sucks but is one of the only solutions when a lot of people haven't had this issue already or at least haven't talked about it

    Sorry I couldn't be of more help, good luck!
