[LD] Reaper: Dead Sim stuck standing on lot

I'm playing the reaper career with Tomax Colette and whenever he gets one of those events where he has to investigate four dead people one to four of them are standing and idling and cannot be selected and therefore cannot have their souls collected. I've tried resetting the people with testing cheats and I am now just stuck in an event waiting for my work day to end because they are perfectly healthy looking except the fact that the red text on their name says dead.

I have some small mods like selecting leftovers but I don't have any that would impact careers.
