While following my Sim on the job in the Reaper career track, the first goal is to "Take Witness Statement" but no living Sims on the lot have the "Witness" tag. In the screenshot, the only Sim available to talk to is Zelmira Gomes, who is not a "Witness". There are no other Sims upstairs or outside.

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title a bit

    Hello all,

    If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

    If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here: http://x.ea.com/74420

    Thanks!

    I am just now having the same issue, I get to the lot and there is no body to reap, nothing happens when I 'locate sim' either. I did notice that when I hovered the cursor over one person it said Dead and then they changed in to reaper uniform and disappeared, so that may have caused an issue. I don't use mods at all btw.

    @genesisxo26 Does this happen every time ?

    Going to merge this with the thread of missing witnesses/plea sims. Adjusted the title to include dead ones.

    Hi, so I kind of found a solution for my case. I was also unable to locate the deceased, so I tried switching to a sim in my household at home and then switched back to the reaper sim (we may wait for few seconds for the game to load properly before switching back) and the problem was fixed, the body appeared and I finished my shift without a problem. Hope this helps! Good luck y'all.

    The firts time a got the task to listen to someones plead I found the person, but wasn't able to find the option. The second time the person who wants to plead wasn't there at all, only two witnesses and random people crossing the lot. The third time finally worked.

    @Edw_HareHare I cannot try out this option because my Sim lives only with three cats. Another option would be exiting the game and come back but during a mission it is not possible, only without saving. Maybe I'll try out to save before I go on the trip and if something or someone is missing I could try out to exit the game and come back.

    I tried to do this during an event that multiple sims needed to be reaped, but only 3/4 of the deceased sims were there. I had the sims reaped, and left & came back for the last one, but now all the previously reaped sims are alive and I can't interact with them 🤭 I think if you're doing this for multiple sims on an assignment, this isn't an option
