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 had a whole string of clues today. Only one of them matched.
Clues; Adult, female, brown hair, evil trait, wears jumper, wears skirt.
The criminal: Yuki Behr! A teen, female, blue hair, good trait, wearing a tshirt and trousers.
I have a few community created houses and a few community created Sims, but Yuki wasn't one of them.
What's going on? :S
Relax, Yuki Behr is a walkby Sim. The game will pull Sims for different needs. In this case, she became the suspect. I learned the hard way that these walk by Sims aren't actual Townies that you can expect to appear in each game save in the same neighborhood. Unlike Sims 2 & 3, certain Sims were always there, no matter what. Unless they died. I lost my Founder's wife and my Founder on the very same Sim day, just hours apart. Their three sons carried on without them. My chosen Heir took the reigns, but I stumbled in my Legacy Challenge, when I didn't have a male Sim, who generated the chosen Trait, to make him the actual heir. I had the parents have a second child, another boy, but again lacking the Trait needed. I had them try again. Twin girls. Suddenly, since my heir's younger brother still lived with them, I found myself running out of room. Moved out the brother, moved out the eldest son. He could no longer be the heir, since I moved him out. Face/palm. Then I reread the rules for the Challenge and realized, I didn't have to move him out, nor did I need to have the parents try again. I could have just selected him. (Always good to check out that codicil. I could have saved myself a bunch of grief.) Then I got it into my head to simply go back, recreate the couple and have them have kids. Just restart with chapter Two, if you will. That's when it hit me. Since I couldn't find her anywhere, (and then I think I came here to the forums for confirmation) — the walk bys are randomized, unique. Only the ones living in the houses in the neighborhoods are in each new game save. Had I thought about it long enough, I would simply have used a photo of her to recreate her. But, I waited about a year and then started anew using the same Founder, complete with the same backstory. Unfortunately, the first story (mostly taken from what happened in the game), was quite a story!
