[BY DESIGN] [GTW] Detective Career Sim Gets Repeated Task

My Sim in the detective career gets the task "travel to crime scene" although they have already been to the crime scene and collected all the clues.  This can occur sometimes right after the Sim has been to the crime scene or even in the same day.

    So the work tasks are gated by where you are in the case. If you pin all the clues to the board and issue an APB you shouldn't get the task again. But until you issue an APB, I believe it'll keep giving you the clue crime scene thing. It just checks where you are on the current case. So this sounds possibly As Designed, depending on if you added the clues to the board and issued an APB.

    You can get more cliues from the crime scene although the message states you can't.

    This could be connected to the issue that the crime scenes are not cleaned up.

    I'm unsure, but do they always go back to the same one ?

    No, I can't get anymore clues nor are there any tasks at the crime scene.  It looks like a regular lot.

    I don't know.  The crime scene is cleaned up.  There is nothing for my Sim to do there.

    No, the Sim gets sent to a new crime scene.

    This is how it is for me: I get transported to a new crime scene and get new clues that count towards my current case.
