"Witness" Sims Won't Leave!

I downloaded a house from the gallery, placed on a lot in Willow Creek and selected my family to move in. The moment they moved in 3 random guys walked into my house and just acted like they lived th...

It looks like your save is bugged. Save this lot to the library. After this still, in building mode, you need to use the "delete house" tool. Then rename this empty lot no matter what the new name will be.
Move your family to another empty lot - the same size - and download saved house.
This lot, when tested, didn't have any errors.
Edited: Forgot to add that you need to fix the game in Origin.
Origin/My games library - right-click on TS4 - option: repair game.
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.

Could you give me the link to this house in Gallery on-line?
If you will not able to do it, give me the name of this house in the Gallery and its creator nickname.
One Hero would like to test it in the game.

Hello everyone, thanks for trying to help!

So, the lot is called "Professor's House" and the creator is Simlicy (sorry I don't know how to get the link). In her YouTube speed build video she did mention that she play-tested it before uploading it to the gallery to ensure everything worked but she didn't mention anything about a crime happening so I'm not sure. She's pretty legit though, I don't think she'd upload the house if something was wrong with it? And no doubt somebody would have told her of the problem by now and she would take it down and re-upload I would think.... It has over 5000 downloads.

Anyway, I tried the "Reset Object (debug)" on the Witness sims but it seems to have made it worse! lol. Not only can I still not ask them to leave, but now it thinks this Young Adult is a toddler! lol. See screen shot below, she now has the "Toddler Needs" option. Also, I noticed the "Remove From Family" option became available after I reset them so I shift+clicked on one of the sims and clicked "remove from family" thinking maybe that would make her leave, but you know how when you select to interact with a sim the little bubble will appear in the bottom left corner and show the face of the sim you're interacting with, well, when I shift+clicked on this Young Adult lady and said "remove from family" the bubble came up with the picture of my newly adopted son's face! lol. How rude, I'm trying to toss him out of the family already. So I canceled that interaction just in case.

Here are a couple screen shots. 1 so you can see how the toddler care function is now available on this Young Adult sim after I reset her, and 1 just showing you that it says Witness above her head.

yes or the reset object debug thing actually won’t work I realized
but don’t worry about the toddler care thing that come up on every sim it’s weird
and removing from the family probably bugged your game

    Sorry how do I save the lot to my library? And will it keep my personal “inventory” items that I placed on the lot once I moved in? See my one family member is a gardener and he has a lot of very good plants (including FIVE money trees that make us lots of money!!! lol) that I don’t want to lose by moving. Or should I move all my personal items back into my inventory before deleting the house?
    thank you for all your help btw!
