[OPEN] [GTW] Suspects won't appear at the station after arrest

First part of your description sounds like this issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-No-sims-at-detective-APB-locations-except-for-the/m-p/7370800

Keeping this separate though for second part as it's the main part of your report

Als tagging @simvasion to ask if their issue only applies to the first part

I know I had a detective fail to bring his suspect back with him sometimes (other times it worked).

I also found that when this occurred, the rest of your shift was pretty much a bust (you can’t do the “Interrogate Suspect”)

BUT I found that when they returned to work/the station the following shift/day the suspect WAS in the cell.  My Sim could then proceed with the interrogation.

Hope that might help?

Whenever I arrested a suspect (it is the suspect, I have checked multiple times) they don't show up for interrogation. I have tried resetting both my Sim and the suspect and it doesn't help. 

Hi @choran929 

merged your post with existing thread.

Does it happen on every case or just this once ?

I've had the arrested sim turn up in the right hand cell on the first arrest; I've had them not turn up until the next shift; and I've been able to redo the APB, arrest them a second time and have them turn up in the cell after a failure of the 1st arrest attempt.  The arrest system seems a bit random, but redoing the APB and arrest a second time during the same shift may be worth trying.

Fully patched, no mods, some CAS cc

I've been seeing this issue occurring more frequently as of recent, and the only workaround I have found has been to quit the Detective Career and rejoin. (This costs a rank in the job, and sometimes the issue occurs again, causing yet another demotion to try and fix it.)

I do not know how to fix this issue, or find any workarounds beyond what I listed above. It's once again rendered the Detective Career virtually unplayable without cheating or using a mod to advance career.
