So I’ve noticed NPC’s in my game looking the same at least base Zoi preset wise but they will change clothes/hair/names. Is this a known issue within the game (tried searching the forum couldn’t find anything similar and if so let me know so I can merge). It can be a little immersion breaking when trying to find friends, partners etc. when there are multiple same looking preset Zoi’s is this maybe in settings somewhere that I may not have setup correctly? 
Yes, I noticed that too. From the experience gathered with my year-old save files, it gets better the longer you play (probably due to NPC death xD ). It can also help to turn up the sliders for population, as far as I remember from another thread recently 
I used to see this a lot. It was especially confusing when one zoi had loads of boyfriends. I couldn’t keep track of the boyfriends; then the identical zois with different names just added to the stress. She knew who they were, but didn’t care if she was on a date with one and bumped into another.
Anyway, I’ve been editing my NPCs so they all look different now. I can spend over an hour editing NPCs my zoi walks past. It’s great when you see them walking around the city later with their horse heads and rabbit ears.
There is a ‘performance’ setting that determines the variety of NPCs. I think they introduced it in the last update.
