@CGrant56It wasn't a bug when a apartment lot is choosen for the crime scene it will add some of the crime scence elements outside of the apartment itself so the other apartments that played sim live in will see the crime scence stuff. The game says when you leave the crime scene that it will be cleaned up, but it is only cleaned up after you solve the case. I think its the current case my detective sims is currently working on.
Edit: I forgot to add the detective sim is not in played household of currently played sims.
@Sid1701d9Ok. I haven't had an apartment as a crime scene ever so I guess it works a little different on those. If it's in the world then that's a different animal. So as I understand it, you have a sim in the detective career with an open case that was open when you shifted to another household to play. And that household happens to live in the same apartment or same building and you can still see the crime scene stuff. Have I got that right?
So, I don't mean to be Captain Obvious here, but it seems that the solution to get it cleaned up is to go back to the detective and finish the case and then go on to the next household. I have never stopped playing a household when there was a case open. I always finished the case before I switched. So this one is new to me.
But if that doesn't clean it up then you have stuff stuck in the world for like forever because you can't delete it in build mode. So the only thing I know of that might work is the T.O.O.L mod.
I agree with you that it should get cleaned up automatically when you travel out of the crime scene back to the Police Station so something isn't going the way it's supposed to. I've had it happen but was able to clean it up manually. Just never had anything left in the world. Everything was on a lot.
- @CGrant56 Its not really the apartment that a played sim is in though apartments are locked to the detective career as they can not place npc sims in a played household, because crime scence remove required objects for played sims until complete. The crime scene is active until case is solved or the criminal dies, so any household with the detective job can work on same case.
@Sid1701d9 Well, I have been unable to duplicate what you are seeing for the simple fact that I have yet to get a crime scene, or any other related trip, in San Myshuno. I have done 12 so far with my detective and haven't had any action (Crime Scene, Patrol, APB, etc.) send my there. I even got sent to Selvadorada for an arrest and my own home lot in Sulani to go on patrol. I hit every other world, some multiple times, and most of the different venue types but no San Myshuno which makes me wonder if my sim will ever get sent there. She's progressed to level 10 now and this one has me stumped.
I'm sorry but I just don't know what else to tell you.
