Detective career broken?

It's happening to me too! I can't find the suspect no matter what place and time I issue the APB, and I also have 7 clues... I haven't played with my detective sim for a while now.

I think it might be broken right now, because on my suspect list was a male, young adult, brown hair with jacket and cowboy jeans, and when I finally foynd the suspect it was a woman with brown hair, but nothing else matching. It is very sad, because when my detective keeps making false arrests, he's getting less payed for every false arrest, and the only option for him is to ask for a raise over the phone.

Hello
Other simmers are having issues, where the eventual suspect doesn't fit the clues and description that were given. Try seeing if other sims that don't fit the clues may be the suspect.

The detective career is a bit of a hot mess right now - so bugged it's pretty much not worth playing. Weird suspect descriptions popping up in the notebook not matching any actual suspects; no clues at crime scenes; chatting to townies not fulfilling said goal when out on patrol; the list goes on... Real shame - I really enjoyed this career when it was working :'(

Do you think they will ever fix it?

It is hard to know. We can try to report it as rosemow says. To me it looks like the doctor career has become easier with not so many patients, but then again so few, that the other doctors, nurses etc. are standing in the way, not so easy to get moving like before.

In fact it is hard to tell, if the suspect is harder to find (I did a lot of asking around), or it is the description that fails. I was even sure NOT to delete any nonplayed sims while my detective was on job.

Well I arrested someone who did not fit the description. It wasn't a false arrest, but the suspect simply disappeared. If course the game wanted me to do the interrogation and other processing, which, of course I couldn't do. So I quit the job. It was harder that normal because I had my fledgling vampire take the job. And it was tough working around the sun. That was supposed to be the challenge. What I didn't count on was the actual job being broken. I was actually able to hide out of the sun and call people over to interrogate them.

I am trying a game with a vampire doctor and I have discovered that the nurses get in the way. I have learned to "call them over" to get them out of the way otherwise I will get a "route fail" and the action I want to take place will cancel.

I reported it on the thread @rosemow suggested. I'm having similar issues to everyone here. It gave me a suspect description of:

Female
Red hair
Wearing a jacket
Wearing jeans
A loner
A teen

At one location I came upon a girl who matched exactly except her hair was brown. I arrested her and lost performance. The next 3 Sim days I was sent to different locations with the exact same clues and nobody showed up who even came close to matching. I finally gave up and switched careers because I was only bringing in $52.00/day and was about to get fired. I even tried skipping the APB and just completing goals at the station, but that didn't work because all of those focus on using the suspect you arrested on patrol, and the game won't let you use the sims already in the cells for the interrogation and that stuff.

I haven't run into the APB bug yet, but I live in fear. I had a different bug with the career where my sim couldn't find any evidence at a crime scene. There was literally nothing there. I had him search the ground for clues and I looked for burn marks/burnt objects and graffiti, but no dice. He ended up doing a "terrible job" according to the game. It was a rough first day for Eric Lewis.

Those clues were accurate, just Keep issue APBs, game will take u to different locations, I had to issue abt 6 APBs to catch the suspect and it matched, had my sim reached level 10 career, is a bit challenge for level 9 n 10.
