it was likely caused by the mods you have been using were you using any townie mods if so the only thing you can do is delete that townie and not put the mod back in unless your ok with that
happening many other people have had that issue with townie mods hope I helped

I'm seeing the same thing. Kylo, Rey, Agnon and a plethora of other Batuu citizens are literally swarming my newest save. Practically every stall vendor, bartender, DJ, community gardeners etc are, with very very few exceptions, Batuu sims. I feel like there's an invasion going on.
I wish sims from Sulani, Selvadorada and Batuu would actually STAY there. Its very immersion breaking to see them roaming about like any other generic townies. A Sulanese sim should not walk around Willow Creek like some other Pancake.

Please read the bug report.

I play pur Vanilla and never encounter Batuu Townies in my normal World (after I was 2 weeks in Batuu)
Maybe this is Issues is truly a mod or old save are affected (I usually start a new save if there a big change so I dodge most of the heavier bugs (aka Gardening))
Update: I must say my normal Townie Population is very big.

In your case it looks like you have a certain Mod from Bienchen installed. Please only post about unmodded games In the bug forum.

I did I was just telling you that other people have had this issue with townie mods so even if you removed them the save could still have the townie in there spawned by the mod
you didn't say it was a new save in your report so maybe I misunderstood is it a new save ?

@instantrhiiplay There has been a mod that has been causing this issue. It's possible that they stay that way if you had the mod in before when NPCs were generated.
Did you use a mod by bienchen for townies ?
Good Luck

Since I started doing the Batuu missions , sims that my game has selected to use as Batuu NPCs show up on all community lots (outside of Batuu) holding their gun thing and have interactions such as Ask about First Order and others of the same type.
