I should begin by ackonwledging my detective career is buggy, i have no mods, and am fully patched and have all sims 4 content installed up thru pets. Ifound the suggestion to arrest the suspect that everyone points at to work in general, but recently the suspect was a young vampire who was on the scene during the day. When arresting this sim, the early animations indicated this was the correct suspect, but then the vampire animations for dying by sun exposure appeared to begin...and the game returned me to station before either animation completed and without a suspect. ive been trying to debug this since using edit.fullcasmode cheat i discovered, by issuing new APBs and gaining new clues, but to no avail. suspect does not appear at lot and no sim there can be arrested. ive cycled thru 3 new APBs now on 3 separate workdays. i cannot get a suspect back to station to complete interrogate suspect action therefore and am stuck on case and likely to be fired soon. and none of the other debug options seem to execute other than by providing new clues.
Am wondering if im not using the debug commands correctly. has anyone had success using the interrogate suspect debug, for example? is there another workaround? i would prefer to complete present case and interrogate suspect given time input, but even obtaining new case (closing current case) would provide path forward...
please lmk if there are recent suggestions. ive been through old posts pretty thoroughly, but see little mention of the debug commands or resolved scenarios that mirror my issue. and i apologize in advance if ive missed a resolution, as there is a lot of discussion on this topic (detective career bugs/workarounds) to sort thru.
Usually, there is a suspect that people will point at. But occasionally I’ve had it bug out badly so that there isn’t anybody I can arrest at all (nobody knows anything and points at no one).
To work around it, I’ve had my detective go back to the station, activated testingcheats on and shift-clicked on my sim.
The only debug detective day event option I used was the Arrest Suspect option, and it generates new evidence in your inventory. Analyse all of it and add it to the crime map to learn new traits about the “new” suspect.
Then when you do an APB, ask people to point and there should be someone there you can arrest, even if the clues are all still completely wrong.
