Acting Costume NPC leaves lot

Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.73.57.1030 (64 Bit)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know
What happens when the bug occurs? When in the Acting Career I show up for a gig and immediately the Costume NPC leaves the lot.
What do you expect to see? The NPC friggen staying and doing it's job
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

Not sure when this issue started, as it's been awhile since I did the acting career, but yesterday I first noticed this issue. I've completely removed all CC, even did a repair in Origin, removed Cache folders and deleted a file (can't remember the name atm) that another help thread said to delete and none of this worked. I show up, the NPC is there and as soon as that happens he leaves.

    It's the same sim, and just the wardrobe one. Everyone else says.

    @Ravingbantha Do you know if he's some kind of occult ? does the Sim live somewhere or is he homeless ?

    Could you maybe try kill the Sim (or delete) if you're not attached to him, then let the game create a new one next time you go there ?

    sadly that save file got corrupted before I could fully experiment with it. However I did add him to my family as he was leaving, and noticed that he action was to 'go to work' which was odd because he didn't have a job. Of course I didn't think to let him finish to see where he went until after I deleted him. This is where the save corruption came in, before I could go to another acting gig the save file got messed up. I'm still working on the bugs, but will see if it's repeated once I get the problems resolved
