I stood behind him one step and d-clicked. He moved to be on top of me, still facing the house.
I stepped back. Facing him and the house. (no longer standing on top of him)
I d-clicked again, hit customize, and changed his hair to "curly".
Closed and he turned around.
After 2 minutes he returned to spot on steps FACING ME!
I thought I had tried everything. Maybe it has to be "curly" hair.
I hope this helps others.
