So I was testing the absolute mayhem that can result from having a club gathering of Spellcasters where Cast Spells is a club activity, on a community lot. My two active sims were flinging spells left and right, when one of them cast Duplicato. I ended the play session there, with the club gathering active and temporary clone around. Next time I launched the game I switched households and now the clone is doing walkbys in the neighborhood. Will they automatically disappear like they normally should, if you switch households? :#

It's a bug. Clones sometimes stay permanent: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-RoM-Magical-clones-can-become-permanent/m-p/8199140#M104384

Aw bummed about it being a bug. Would've been fun if you could keep creating them & fill the entire neighbourhood with them (my Sim just got an invitation for a duel from his clone lol)

Yes you can woohoo with the copy well it least my husband did

^That's not what Ja_rde meant :DIt's possible to woo-hoo with a copy... but not for the original sim.Though you can change this with MCCC mod.

I'm sure I could. If I had GTW. ;)

ETA: fwiw, the Duplicato spell also clones skills. Not sure about career or relationships.

Okay, thank you! Good to know. I moved her into my household and deleted her from Manage Worlds. Hopefully that was an okay solution.

You can build up a relationship with the duplicate and ask them to move in! Then the game treats them as a clone. Morgyn duplicated himself to clean house. His girlfriend Susan, having the polite and compassionate traits made friends with the duplicate my game named Sidney almost instantly. I got the Ask to Move In option and clicked it. He came with 1000 simoleons. His interactions with Morgyn kept saying he was an evil clone. Sure enough, he has the same spellcaster potions, spells and status as Morgyn. However he has the evil trait lol!! Morgyn had some kind of curse so it probably backfired. I was cracking up. Anyway I have a new plot twist withbmy gameplay lol!!
