Police Don't Show Up to Make an (Burglar) Arrest

I am not certain if this is a bug, or if I am doing something wrong.

Robin Banks is my save's default burglar, which is what I wanted. However, the cops never show up. Not immediately, not the following day... they never show up.

A quick search in MCC lists the burglar hidden trait as "is burglar", so I've been using that to test out NPC spawning, but I cannot find the hidden trait that would be applied to NPC police.

I tried giving an un-played sim the "can accuse burglar" trait, but that didn't do anything, so I'm uncertain if this is new or related to GTW.

Only mod is the recently updated MCC.

  • Hello!

    I've tried both. I've called the police through the phone menu and by selecting the option on the burglar. (And with multiple burglars - not just Robin)

    I've also utilized both the Alertz alarm without and with the Police Link upgrade. No police. I even  have a level 10 Detective in my save. No one ever shows up. Goodness, Agnes Crumplebottom caught the culprit sooner - and proceeded to pummel her with her purse until she ran away!
