o-RayeGunn-o Sorry for answering 2 months late. I think I might miss the notification of this post (it's hard to track comments in the current forum system unless you use @ )
Recently, I found mod "Keep Premades - Townie Overhaul Less Fame" made by sims4me in CurseForge. This seems to fix this bug directly. I will try the mod today and update here.
As this bug isn't in 150+ bugfixes, we might have to solve it ourselves until it gets pick.
Test the mod and it works too. Michael Bell finally appears instead of a random sim.
For anyone interested in bugfix mod, search "Keep Premades - Townie Overhaul Less Fame"
However, this bug should be fixed by the official anyway because console players can't use the mod. And not all people can access mods or feel secure using them.
