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.
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?
- I'll try that. I do have one other played Sim in the career- he is lower down though (back when the career was so broken, I attributed my chief's success canonically to having the Observant trait which was the only way to progress) but I'll try elevating him with console and see what happens.
