Please use this thread going forward: [JTB] Arresting Someone (First Order) gets stuck | EA Forums - 12257048
I just had this problem for the first time today. What I did was shift+right clicked on the person I was arresting and clicked on "destroy object (debug)". The person comes back, don't worry, but it'll get you unstuck. Hope this helps.
Same problem, on PC, no mods/cc, have everything except the knitting pack. I don't have a droid yet. Fight does happen, it's as soon as you're meant to actually escort the prisoner that the game glitches out. Have tried the resetsim cheat, and it'll cancel the action, but the game still refuses to work because it's convinced someone is still being escorted.
I can get all the way through the fight and to the point of escorting the prisoner... then we freeze. It doesn't matter if I have a Droid or anything else, my sim and the one being arrested freeze.
There is no motive decay but time still passes. I can reset both sims as many times as I would like but the game will not recognize it.
The only way I have found to "fix" it is to click on the energy motive to trigger my sim to sleep on their own, this somehow resets them and the game let's me click on things and save again.
The only issue is, I can't progress my aspiration now without cheating it because I can't make the arrest to complete the milestone.
Now, because I don't care enough to wait for this one sim, I'm going to just cheat that milestone, but it is a fair warning for anyone who doesn't wish to do so.
