In past sims games if there was a duplicate Sims unless they were twins with different names and such it created an issue with the A.I. and would eventually make the game unplayable. It is, I believe why even the science clones all have different names and tiny differences to avoid that happening. Seeing they included the slight differences and different names when a clone is made - I would assume that is still an issue within the game programming itself - so you may start getting problems with the saves that have exact clones.
I know in the past even a single exact clone - even the name itself - was a game headed for serious trouble. They used to tell us even if you accidentally got an exact clone - do not try to fix it - as it would still be a glitch in the files - they called them doppelgangers. If we saw any - they said our best way to avoid any issues with the game itself was quit that game and remove it from your system - and totally restart.
In Sims 2 it was a real pain as we had to totally uninstall the game and clean our registry. Then reinstall the game and start totally over from scratch. Apparently even old save files were affected. I guess they cause some sort of game corruption eventually.
Sims 3 it was even more troublesome if you used dopplegangers in the game and store them in the bin - the game it self would start making dopplegangers of those Sims- sometimes in big numbers even - they'd be everywhere and eventually the game would become unplayable - even though it (the game) did it - itself all because you used dopplegangers in the game and saved the household to a bin (your library).
