[BH] Customers invade residential space while business is open

This doesn't happen a lot but thought I should report it in case others have had it too. In Businesses and Hobbies  every so often a customer potters about in the residential parts of the building. They stick around for a while but eventually leave (can't send them home).

I have checked the outlines and they shouldn't be able to enter the upstairs (even made the stairwell residential). They haven't been invited by a sim either. I can't see any pattern in when they appear and as it's not a huge issue I don't always notice it.

It's not the most annoying thing ever but they do eat my food and use my computer (rude).

PS5 so no cc/mods

    It's while it's open, though I can't remember if they leave when I close it- will see if it happens again. It's only ever one SIM when it happens

    Whenever you have a business on your residential lot, werewolves will freely enter the space that has been designated as Residential. Even after you close the business, the werewolves stay. There is no send home option. They just wander around your lot, nap, eat your food, etc.  The only way to get them to go away is to travel somewhere else and travel back. No CC or mods downloaded.

    I just had this issue in my game after I started a brand new save; I  had not experienced this in my old save. 

    For the first few hours that the business was open, everything was fine. Then a customer walked through a planter and into the 'Residential' area.

    Once that first customer walked through a solid object and into the 'Residential' side, other customers stopped being limited to the 'Public' area and made themselves at home. They started entering into different parts of the lot that are marked 'Residential' and 'Employee' areas. I checked multiple times and the areas were still marked correctly in Build Mode. 

    When I closed the business some customers went into the residential area instead of leaving the lot. 

    I do have cc/mods, but I have never expereinced this issue before. All my mods are updated/working, and I have not installed any new mods right before this occured. It only started after I created the brand new save (which I only did because Roberto Crinkletop was completely missing from my old save - I think he died and no replacement was generated).
