Glitch with detective clues, makes arresting the right suspect impossible

Just an update on how to "fix" this career glitch, though it's not really a fix. This is what I did to reset that completely borked case.

1. Have your Sim quit their job with their cell phone.
2. Pull up the cheat console with CTRL+SHIFT+C.
3. Type in "Careers.add_career Detective" and hit Enter. This will put your Sim back in the Detective career.
4. Type in "Careers.promote Detective" and hit Enter. This will promote your Sim to the next level.
5. Repeat step 4 until your Sim is at the level they were at before.

That's the only way I've come up with to fix that glitch. It would be so much easier if we just had an option to scrap the case and start a new one.
