I'm not sure if this is in fact a bug. I see where you're coming from but I think it's always been this way.
I'm going to put this on unsure. As it's XMas break time, it will be awhile until I can get more info on this.
- With the Detective Career, I'm pretty sure it's never been the case... not sure about the other GTW careers since I don't use them so much. It's been quite obvious to me now cause I always have my Sim use the Chief's office, and found today that there was another in it. It's just something I'd think I'd have noticed before.
I suppose it's also worth noting yes- I have redesigned my Police Station lot, but take it from me this was happening before I did so.
it is also worth noting that all the Sims specially generated for the Police Station role, or not-in-world Sims for that purpose, I have redesigned entirely in CAS. All Sims in my Police Station lot are either played by me or edited by me- the introduction of a new Sim in any role (which happened in this case) is something I would recognise.
I haven't played the career in forever as it was broken for so long, so I'm really not sure. I will need to get some info first.
Just tested it and confirm that there's a second chief at the station.
Last time I played my active sim who's the chief of the police station, this would not be the case. He would be the only sim there in that role. I also strictly manage townies and made sure he was the only level 10 detective in the whole game, including NPCs.
I last played him on 2 November before the Cats and Dogs patch. So some time between then and now something changed and now the game feels the need to have its own chief there too? It has randomly promoted one of the unplayed unemployed townies to chief level.
The whole role system seems pretty messed up since they changed the household manager. Might be connected
Thanks for confirming. I'll leave it on unsure for now anyways though.
Could be related to the recent fixes they made to the detective career. My current workaround for this is not playing my Chief sim as an active career. If I don't follow him to work, I don't think it generates a second chief.
I haven't tried yet, but if I can get another playable detective to level 10, would it just use him as the second chief instead of randomly assigning one. At least having another sim I know and play would be better, and I could pretend it was some weird job sharing situation or a Deputy Chief or something...
...until they hopefully fix it?
