[GTW] No Sims After Issuing APB (Detective Career)

For those struggling with this bug I was able to work around it by shift clicking on my sim and using the pack cheat, debug arrest suspect. This at least generated sims on the lot though they did not look anything like the suspect description but through process of elimination I was able to arrest the correct sim and close the case anyway. Good thing this was my sims last day at work, he quit to become a stay at home dad. Geez of all the active jobs detective is the WORST, it’s the most bugged and the most repetitive, really not any better than a rabbit hole job 

Thanks for the debug tip, I was tearing my hair out and I'm gonna try that right away. This bug has haunted me for days again - usually the suspect is always the first/only Sim in the lot, in my case this one Sim was always some rando not fitting the description and not being the right subject, last time even a toddler... and of course every attempt to arrest some random Sims just to try finding the right one by luck results in bad work performance.

So I'm doing Shella's CLC challenge, and I have encountered this bug. So far it has occured only after I get promoted to detective. The previous positions were fine, but as soon as you get a new case as a detective and go to the location no one that fits the description has shown up. I still get Sims on the lot to ask about the suspect but no one that fits the description shows up. There was a tip to quit the career and do it again, still did not work. I even made sure all previous evidence was deleted from my Sims inventory so no false descriptions were added. This is beyond annoying because I try not to cheat 😭

This my first time playing as a detective too, and it sucks. 😞

This fix needs to be on their next laundry list.

Hey all,

Just checking in to see if anyone is still seeing this on a modless game as we've been unable to reproduce it on our end.

If so please share your save file with us (instructions: http://x.ea.com/74420) so we can take a look.

Thanks!

This is a bug I've had for years with the detective career, with and without mods. The issue seems to always start occurring when reaching level 5 (detective).

@EA_Solaire I've sent Google Drive links for several affected saves to you in a direct message. These are from a save with no mods. If you would like me to post them here in the thread, please let me know.

I am also having this issue. Sims appear on all lots when not issuing an APB, while working and while not.
