Secret Society problem

[Killzone]

Have NL, OFB and recently installed Uni.

Playable goes to Uni and meets/befriends all townies/dormies.

Two dormies identified as SS members.

One of them, "Eric Chun" appears TWICE on a lot at the same time. Two Eric Chuns on the same lot, when my playable interacts with both there is only one "Eric Chun" in the Character window. Interacting with either Eric affects the relationship in the character window.

Problem is there is no 3rd SS member to befriend. Checking SimPe reveals only one Eric Chun and only 2 SS members (Chun and another dormie).

Is this a known bug or is my game glitched and how do I get a third SS member to befriend?

So Deleted 2 this Eric and let someone new respawn in his place.

There have been numerous sightings of multiple instances of townies.  It doesn't necessarily mean there's more than one character file.  I would have exited without saving, but I don't think it has been determined that it's BFBVFS-inducing.  Have you checked in SimPE to be sure you don't have a third SS member?  If not, just take out nossrespawn until you get another or three, then put it back.

Yes, I checked SimPe and there was no 3rd SS. I took at all my hacks, visited a com lot and another SS member appeared so all is good.

This is an occasional random glitch which appears, that a sim manages to spawn twice. When this happens, just delete both of them.

I haven't seen doubled up townies since Uni. They were really common with Uni. I just figured it was fixed with NL or something. I guess I should be thankful I no longer see this in my game, for whatever reason, because it always unnerved me. It's hard to tell if something is harmless or not. Unless Pescado tells us. In which case never mind.

...and yet this is happening, in Uni. Coincidence? I think not.
