[OPEN] [GTW] Detective Career: Two Chiefs
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? n/a
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and Dogs, City Living, Get to Work, Parenthood, Vampires, Dine Out, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Bowling Night stuff, Vintage Glamour stuff, Romantic Garden stuff, Movie Hangout stuff, Spooky stuff, Cool Kitchen stuff, Perfect Patio stuff, Holiday Celebration, Up all Night and Digital Deluxe.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a Sim in the Chief (top promotion) role in the Detective career. Note the presence of a second Chief sim
What happens when the bug occurs? When having an active Sim as Chief of the Detective career followed to work, there is an additional Chief Sim on the lot (as it would be if your active Sim was not the Chief) as shown by the uniform, dialogue options and orange tag on name bubble. This is a slightly jarring issue as this Sim takes up the Chief's office in the Station lot, and if your active Sim is infact 'the' Chief it is quite irritating to have happen. The Sims that have this role are always non-played, or randomly generated for this exact purpose.
What do you expect to see? I expect my active Sim, who is 'the' Chief, to be the only one accredited with this on the lot.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Unsure exactly. I had a 3 month break from the game and returned about a week ago, and played on my Detective sim, who is Chief, today and found this bug. I'm not sure when in this 3 month or so period it began happening, but it didn't happen before.

In this instance Mila Munch, a shipped-with-game non played NPC was assigned as the Chief. When I experimented with deleting her in CAS to try and free up the position, another random Sim (that I am pretty confident was not in the game before, I've logged 300 hours in my world and I've never seen him ingame or in Management) with a name I can't remember, certainly not a non-played surname I recognised, was assigned the role instantly, and was already sat in the office as I exited CAS.
