Just so that everyone is aware. There is currently a similar issue going so you might be seeing this new one:
All role Sims in HOB are being replaced by different Sims. This causes multiple Agnes/Agathas as well although they are named different (they just have the same clothing).
So you might be seeing this: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-ECO-CoL-NPC-Sims-not-filling-regular-positions/m-p/116681...

Not always! At least once, Agatha was the Garden Shop Owner, but all she did during the fair was dance to the Cottagecore music during business hours!

Is this ever going to be fixed, or is it even on the dev's radar anymore? It's a pretty annoying problem. Looks like people have already dropped their saves in the thread too, as of months ago.

I've just found something that I think is causing this bug. For some reason, there are several duplicates of both Agatha and Agnes Crumplebottom! IDK if they had a bunch of twins or triplets, or if they used the cloning machine, but I wonder if this is what's making it hard to run the Garden Shop, especially during the fair.

Could you send your save to EA ?
