Detective career broken?
Does this work? I don't seem to ever be able to find a suspect. I have 6 or 7 clues and no suspect ever seems to match. It it is broken I won't waste my time.

I've had GTW since it came out but have never played it, not only because of the various bugs that have periodically cropped up in each of them, but also because of the problem of going to work with one Sim while others at home are on their own all day.
Now I'm playing a single Renaissance Sim that only has to get to level 3 for his aspiration so it doesn't matter after that if he gets wrong clues or gets fired for arresting wrong suspects.
First case: His clues are Female, Adult, Long Sleeves, and Slacks, but he gets sent to a gym. So much for the clothes clues, eh? Outside on the sidewalk, Paolo is doing push-ups but points directly into the gym where I see two Sims, a female and male. Too easy I think, but not necessarily so. The female is a YA, so two clues match. The male only matches one clue: Adult.
Still out on the sidewalk, Geoffrey Landgraab has walked up to my Sim and seems to attach himself for some reason. He follows me into the gym where I find there are actually two more Sims directly in the line of fire that couldn't be seen from the sidewalk. One is a male Adult wearing Long Sleeves. Again, two clues match. Another not seen is an Elder Female on the lower level by the pool in a swimsuit. Can't be her.
Since I now have two Sims out of four that have two clues matching, I ask Geoffrey Landgraab. He turns to the right and starts heading down the stairs to the lower level (pool). I follow to see if he points to the Elder. Taking more than a half hour, he has crossed the lower level and gone up the left stairs back to the original 3 Sims upstairs, back to the two of which have two clues that match.
Then what does he do? He joins that group of 3 suspects upstairs and generally waves his hand to show me it's 'one of them'. Thanks Geoff for taking all that time to show me ... what? Not much!
So I asked another Sim. Clueless. I decided to arrest the female but just before I do, a co-worker came up behind me. Oh yeah, it was my first case so I was supposed to have help with it, being new. She didn't have the 'Detective' designation that should have shown, but I asked anyway. She walked up to the Female, Young Adult, and almost pointed right in her face. The FYA stepped back with kind of like a 'Whoa ... Who Me?' Gotcha!
I know it's going to be harder and more problematic as I go, perhaps because of bugs, but it really is a hoot right now and I'm lovin' it! He got a promotion and is on Level 2. We'll see how it goes and then move on ... maybe Scientist? I've never been to Sixam.
