[COL] NPC roles assigned to multiple Sims (Sometimes duplictes)

When playing in Henford on Bagley, I noticed that every NPC that comes with the pack (The Grocer, the Mayor, The Garden Stall Owner, The Pub Keeper, and the Creature Keeper) were doubled. Two sims with the job title above their names were appearing around the world. Both sims offered the errands, meaning my sim could complete two rounds of every errand from every NPC. Some of the duplicates were copies of the original NPCs, for example, the mayor, Lavina Chropa, had two versions of Lavina, both listed as Mayor, and both offering the same errands and rewards. Other NPCs had randomized townie versions and the original townies in Cottage Living, for example, the grocer sims were the original Kim Goldbloom, and a randomized townie just with the job title and offering errands. No complication arose from this, it honestly just allowed my sim to do more of the errands, but it does break the immersion a little when every NPC has a twin or is a completely different sim half the time.

    I notice this too when starting up a new save some of the townies NPC in Henford-on-Bagley had been switched to random townies. Like Michael the creaturekeeper was not there as was not Mayor Lavina and her son. Notice it as well in the Ravenwood too that the Leonora order had random townies assigne as orders member despite the ones that are usually the members had the missions too. I have not check the other areas were the townies are feature if they still are in the townies or still there. This occured with the saves that are created after the latest update. I am on PC without any mods or cc.

  • I started a new save after the latest update. Game is fully updated with all packs, kits installed. Mods are still switched off since the update. I noticed that playing in Henford-on-Bagley all NPC like the groceryshopowner, mayor and the creature keeper are double in the game. The once you expected like Michael Bell and Kim Goldbloom but also a random (ugly sims with an overload of accessoires) NPC. The OG sims are fine and alive so a replacment wasn't needed. 

  • I'm having a similar problem, but my Henford townies are just being replaced with random sims. Also, no one ever tends the garden stall anymore. I've seen Agatha around in the world, but not Agnes. I've not had any problems with Realm of Magic NPCs so far.

    I'm also having this problem. I have no mods and can replicate this on new saves. It's not just Henford, it's the sages in RoM as well as other NPC jobs in other packs unfortunately. On PC.
