Was playing in BB last night with a lovely creature my teen created for me, (check out my studio for a copy of her, she's a safe one),
and after sending her across town I checked my screen and saw she was still in front of the theatre. Clicked on her name and it was the same name but now she was a paparazzi. ! So I clicked on the thing that sends you to your character and sure enough she was where I had sent her. Obviously she had been cloned by the game! I double checked all the houses to make sure I hadn't placed her inadvertently twice but nope, she was a clone npc. I didn't know the game could clone your cas characters!
