Please use this thread going forward: [JTB] Arresting Someone (First Order) gets stuck | EA Forums - 12257048
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.75.125.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and Dogs, City Living, Discover University, Eco Lifestyle, Get Famous, Get to Work, Get Together Island Living, Seasons, Snowy Escape, Dine Out, Dream Home Decorator, Jungle Adventure, Outdoor Retreat, Parenthood, Realm of Magic, Spa Day, Journey to Batuu, Strangerville, Vampires, Backyard Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Movie Hangout Stuff, My First Pet Stuff, Paranormal, Perfect Patio, Spooky Stuff, Tiny Living Stuff, and Vintage Glamour Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to Batuu, join the first order and check IDs of suspicious Sims
What happens when the bug occurs? Throughout my playthrough of Journey to Batuu, I have been unable to make arrests for the First Order. I have no problem with checking IDs, but once my sim goes to make an arrest, the action disappears from her queue and both she and the suspect just stand there, before going their separate ways.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see my sim make an arrest, so she can complete her tasks.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
I would really just like to get this fixed. It's been happening for three days now, and I'm getting angry.
I had exactly the same problem and might just have found the cause and solution of this bug. If your sim has a personality trait of "Proper", they cannot proceed with the arresting as they aren't able to get into a fight.
Thus, the solution is to remove the trait (e.g., using a cheat, see www.gamerant.com/the-sims-4-how-to-change-traits). Then try to check ID again, your sim gets into the fight and eventually arrests the suspicious sim.
