Anyone else having trouble finding suspects in the detective career path?

When I questioned a "witness" today she pointed away and suggested that the random person was the suspect... Guess who actually was the suspect? Bingo, the "witness". So that is a nice giveaway.

I just do all the tasks and then issue an APB

I'm gonna try this next. I have all seven clues and have been working on this case for almost two Sim weeks. This suspect just doesn't exist! If this doesn't work, I'm gonna attempt to arrest these two guys who sorta fit the description and always show up everywhere. If that doesn't work, I'm gonna quit and become a doctor!

I arrested the "wrong" guy, and he pled guilty! What the heck? I wasn't even a bad cop!

I gave up trying to find the evil old woman wearing jeans and a coat. I stuck around the station doing busy work and got promoted from Lt to Chief. Now I send my sim off to work and she is Chief +3.

My new wife (who was the fifth gen of one of my original sims) came to me as a 9 level villain. Now she is an 11 Triple Agent. Only pitfall is none of the goodies up to level 10 are unlocked for her. Bummer.

on two occasions the case lead me to the wrong person(clues said male it was female, clues said teen it was an adult).
After finding the detective career WAAAY to repititive at early stage, I decided to leave it for a career as a doctor instead.
Dont know if it was the right decision or not, but case, look for clues, analyze clues, apb arrest.. I suspect that wont change? exception of a patroling every now and then.

I was hoping it would be a little more challenging, had 4 cases and everytime I issue the APB the suspect walks right up to me everytime with the relationship bar halfway red. One even sat down in the park with me played a game of chess while shouting at me.

This last patch listed this as being fixed in patch notes.

Well, not the being very repititive part I take it. :)
But yeah, it happened pre-patch and I left detective work not because of the bug, but because it got boring.
Comparing it to scientist which can be much more fun. :)

I haven't had any trouble finding suspects but my cop was an alien so she would analyze personalities. I did have to interrogate someone for almost an entire day tho.

Well I have the same problem and I have full description of the suspect: Male Adult Red Hair Active Shorts Short Sleeve Shirt. Civs are pointing around the lot like "OH THERE HE IS" ain't nobody anywhere in the area matching that description even vaguely.

For those of you out there about to suggest "Townie wearing different clothes" I don't mess with townie appearances. For those of you who plan to tell me do a repair and refresh, this is a repaired and refreshed game already. For those of you who will tell me to remove mods, I have no mods. The game just doesn't want to give me the suspect for whatever reason.
