I had this glitch happen so many times. The time I remember so well, I made a custom apartment with five floors in sunset valley, moved in sims right after cas. I went floor to floor to set doors for each apartment, reached the basement, and saw a clone of one of my newly made sims. The clone was an barista
Just random speculating no idea what could be causing it: Is a version with the simbot or the plumbot (dont remember which is which) saved in the household bin? Maybe it sometimes picks sims from there idk tbh. Are you using nraas storyprogression or EA story progression? If nraas story progression I would look into their forums, if EA then have a look at simler90s gameplay system fix which attempts to fix the EA story progression (as well as bug fixing other issues but the primary feature seems to stem from EA story progression issues) Also if you want to get rid of them try using total annihilation to delete them. Basically deletes are instances, info about that sim from the game like they never existed in the first place.
Thank you sm for the info! I’ll definitely look into the forums and test some things out since I do use mods although this has happened without mods once.
This hasn't happened to me personally (mainly because I haven't played Sims 3 a lot) but it has happened to multiple youtubers who's let's plays I used to watch. For one of them the cloning eventually got so bad that he unfortunately had to end the let's play. At that point there were three or four copies of his main family walking around town. It was one of my favorite series on youtube in general and so many of his channel's inside jokes came from that let's play but he has sworn off Sims 3 for years. Another youtuber resolved this issue by changing the clone's appearance and name via nraas, but I don't know if that's a long term solution.
I've been playing Sims 3 for 12 years and this has only happened to me recently (twice). It's so creepy and seems to happen out of nowhere. I will be in the process of sending party invites and the young adult clone of my elderly Sim pops up.
I had this happen once! Without mods. I had deleted all the Sims in a town and moved my custom one in, then when she got a job the townie that spawned as her boss was her clone.
This happened to me as well. One of my plumbots got cloned and now is a food vendor and even is one of the teachers that scold the children/teenagers on the excursions!!
@@Grimonvacation how to solve worker's shortage in Sims 3: ❌ Give better pay and benefits and hours ✅ Cloning of sim bots/plumbots And I forgot to say that this also happened to my Servo in Sims 4! When I transferred the family to a new save, the Servo became a food vendor but he had human appearance but still did the idle Servo animations and flew away using his jets.
I think nraas register could help solve and/or avoid this? I recently started up a new town and I’ve been getting back into the sims 3 and I was just looking through all the options in my nraas mods and I know in the population control where you can like limit the number of wild horses for example you can limit or extend the number of sims allowed in the town and I made it infinite!! But this could also cause bloating and like too many sims in a town as well 🤷🏻♀️
I had this happen a couple times, once with my Princess Daisy sim and another with a teen sim who was chilling inside, while her clone was a zombie trying to eat her brother outside lol
I had a glitch I was in edit neighborhood and I changed house to move all elders in to the house next to the working friends house then I tried to go to make couples then I tried to go to the house I was in to play and it was not working it went to unelectable then I played sims 2 haven’t play 3 again
Did you save the robot in the bin at some point? Because this glitch happened to me all the time, but I believe it was only families I had saved in the bin, and I always assumed the game just took them as a template to clone their throwaway service NPCs from, especially Paparazzis are often treated like garbage lol. Edit: I don't know/remember if they had the same personality or skill points etc. though.
This used to happen to me in the Sims 2 with my playable sims I was young so I didn’t know how to delete them so I just kinda let them chill in my household
Rather than resetting what about deleting the clone? It just takes a second to do edit: if youre afraid of it coming back, just enter the cas and randomize the looks of the clone and also the name, so its brand new and not a clone anymore
Oh, yeah this has happened to me a few times. The first time I actually noticed it was when the clone took after my vampire, honestly. I ended up trying to socialize with the clone to see if anything buggy would happen but it functioned perfectly fine?
It could be my mods but this has happened once before without mods. In this case it could very well just be my mods though so I’m currently looking into it.
Stelllllaaaaaa!! I haven’t been very active when it comes to RUclips or streams but I’m getting back into it! Have you also been taking a break from streaming and RUclips?

Honestly makes me think that this happens because there aren’t enough sims in the town to take these jobs 🤔

Which youtuber? This sounds so familiar
@@morfosi It was Gronkh, a german youtuber
It got that bad?? That must’ve sucked for the player!! 😭 I’ll try out changing the name and appearance of the clone and see what happens tho 🤔
Happened to me a long time ago, when The Sims 3 was still fairly new. The doppelganger even moved in to a house on her own. It was kind of weird…
So creepy!! Honestly these clones freak me out 😭
I have ONLY experienced this in the sims 2. But it happens in the sims 3 as well? Humm🤔..

I will definitely look into those settings. I need to not have these clones in my game, it’s creepy!!

Hi ☺️
Did you save the robot in the bin at some point? Because this glitch happened to me all the time, but I believe it was only families I had saved in the bin, and I always assumed the game just took them as a template to clone their throwaway service NPCs from, especially Paparazzis are often treated like garbage lol.
Edit: I don't know/remember if they had the same personality or skill points etc. though.
The bin or library on "edit town" ?
@@tias.6675 The library yeah. Sorrry for the wrong use of Sims 2 vocabulary there haha
This used to happen to me in the Sims 2 with my playable sims
I was young so I didn’t know how to delete them so I just kinda let them chill in my household

The clones creep me out sm especially when they look like human looking sims. I’m just glad it cloned my robot and not my human sims. 😰
@@Grimonvacation its surreal for sure! At least it doesnt happen a lot, or break things
I've never seen this happen in all my 13 years of playing Sims 3. If you have nraas, it might be a rapid immigration thing?
It could be my mods but this has happened once before without mods. In this case it could very well just be my mods though so I’m currently looking into it.
When is your next video
Grimmmmmmmm
Stelllllaaaaaa!! I haven’t been very active when it comes to RUclips or streams but I’m getting back into it! Have you also been taking a break from streaming and RUclips?
@@Grimonvacation no worries! I am taking a break for now… but I love when you upload the sims videos 🥰
Yay!!
