I meant I have 16 sims in the police career, not at the station. So in theory the game should have more than enough sims to choose from when I sens my own cops to work. But it still uses townies and that's why I think that my police sims have the wrong rank or the wrong skills.
Edit: I rephrased my initial post, hopefully now my question makes more sense.
That makes more sense. It depends on how many are in the career. I'm assuming it's similar to the scientist career. In that one, the game randomly picks from a number of them from the total pool to show up at work on any given day. For the scientist career, it's 4. If you've added more to the career, it should choose from them as well. For example: If I have 10 in the career, (five of my own and five generated by the game) it'll randomly choose 4 from that total pool of 10 and have them show up at work.
I do it all the time in science. I pick 3 or 4 townies like Bella Goth, Lily Feng, some of my own townies, and put them in the career. The game also generates some of their own. When my sim goes to work, sometimes I get my choices, sometimes the game's generated ones.
One thing, if you used the cheat commands to add them to the career, the game won't use them for some reason. I always have to like play Bella Goth for a minute, quit her job, have her join the science career manually and she'll work then.
It works for the science career, I never tried it with the detective career.
