Questions on clones in Realm Of Magic

They are not permanent or even playable, not sure how long it takes but they disappear. The game listed mine as a sister so I guess they are always a sibling ... they have the same last name as your sim. Mine showed up in different clothes from what my sim was wearing but it was still one of her normal outfits.
Mine also had all the same traits this last time I checked because my sim had the observant trait.
Although once I could have sworn I got a drop down about them being evil.. not sure what that was in relation too though. I wasn't paying much attention the first time I used the spell.

Oh you can command them to cook or clean.. and have the same socials as with any other sims from what I can tell. Of course no romantic socials because they are a sibling.

Okay I did a little more research. If you become friendly you can move them in and they seem to be permanent then. They have same skills, same perks, no aspirations completed.
I didn't time exactly how long it took another one (that I didn't move in) to disappear when I tried again but it was under 12 hours. You can make them cook, clean and fight others...

Funny, I trapped mine in the basement, & dueled them for knowledge till they vanished. But the game bugged out, & I was not able to access my spellcaster Perks menu till I rebooted the game. So I have not summoned a dupe again. Rebooting the game fixed the bug.
- So I'm thinking the dupes a little unstable, & Need more testing.

None of my duplicates have disappeared and I wish they would otherwise Ill rarely use this spell

Mine go out in a cloud of black smoke @Zeldaboy180. Under what circumstances does that happen to you? .. at home on a community lot?.. in the realm? I read someone else mentioning that problem with a club I think.

There is a bug when they become permanent: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-RoM-Magical-clones-can-become-permanent/m-p/8199334#M104392
