Trapped witches and multiple townie clones

[YamLin]

I've read the support for the problems with Sims getting trapped on business lots but I don't think mine is the same issue.

Sometimes my business owners will get trapped on their own lot - but not because of their car or other bugs that the Open For Business patch solves.

Since installing Apartment life, it seems that multiple witches appear on the lot, off the edge and out of sight. You can't tell them to leave because for all intents and purposes they're not there, so the business owner waves his arms and blows a whistle fruitlessly trying to clear the lot before leaving. I can delete them using cheats, but that's all.

Also, I have a problem that I'm not sure is a glitch or a coincidence. It seems that half of my townies are clones. Multiple versions of the same characters in the same outfits and with the same genetics appear, under different names. So far I've had six versions of a blonde woman in a flat cap and glasses, three of a blonde dude in big green glasses and a red t-shirt and more...

Thanks in advance.
