Help please. Some (minor?) Issues with my Game Today.

Question

The first probably cannot be solved, except by mods. I have a detective and when he goes out to crime scenes and on patrol he seems to go to any random neighborhood. He even ended up in Sulani. It breaks the story and my immersion when he ends up what I imagine to be whole continents away. -sigh-

The second may be solvable here. I already use a few carefully chosen and up-to-date mods. They are MCCC, Meaningful Stories, Wonderful Whims, SCCO (Cooking overhaul), Private Practice, Sim National Bank, Organic hair and Mortem.
I am currently using MCCC to allow a relationship between a young, young adult and a not-quite-YA teenager. And although I want to make my Sims lives less-than-idyllic Kylie is currently in a mood. "Very uncomfortable" to be specific.
Problem is there are no moodlets to indicate WHY . Indeed, she has just returned from school and has no moodlets at all!
I can't get her to do her homework or solve her issues for her if I don't know what is going on. Help would be much appreciated.

As for the moodlet issue, I've had a sim be sad without any active moodlets. Turns out some moodlet got stuck. I used MCCC cheats > cheat sim info > moodlets/buffs > remove buffs. You then get a pop up, click OK and you get a list for all moodlets. Scroll to find the offending moodlet and remove it. But, make sure you don't delete any of the hidden moodlets (mccc will warn about that too), those are the ones with the flying llama icon.

As for the crime map, if you aren't using the default police station - use bb.enablefreebuild, go to build mode and use the recolour tool see if the crime map is set to the default swatch (which is most likely the first swatch). I thought this issue was fixed, but maybe not.

Update: Kylie's moodlets came back. At first she was a combo of a light "tense" (specifically wonderful whims related) and playful. This was after I sent her to the bathroom for attending to needs and a bubble bath. Later, she developed a "feverish" moodlet, such as Sims get when they are sick. This is uncomfortable

Meanwhile, Joshua also developed an "uncomfortable" mood despite only having positive moodlets.

And the icons for tutoring Kylie with her homework were missing on both ends. Replaced with the llama pic.

Overall, I have sent them to bed (where I usually save between sessions) and think it must be time for a delete cache and repair game.

Further Update: Issues continue. Even though I have deleted the cache and repaired my game, both Sims seem to be in a persistent "uncomfortable" to "very uncomfortable" state. Admittedly, Joshua has now developed the 'fever' too.
More annoying (and more concerning) is when I sent Joshua to work at the police station. He cannot start a case map. The interactions on the computer do include "get case assignment" but no matter how many times I attempt it (even after travelling to patrol..) it will not complete. Therefore the map remains and I cannot do his task of starting a new case map. UGH :s

Thank you @MDianaSims. The ability of MCCC to show potentially hidden buffs was one I did not know. It could come in useful.

I managed to (eventually) get both Kylie and Joshua a dose of medicine which cured the cold/fever and got rid of the worst of the bad moods.

As for the police station, it was probably the board, though I am using the default station and it did not work that shift. I tried recoloring and outright replacing it. The following day however, I managed to get a new case and start a map. WHEW!
