I don't understand what's with this case - work in the police

  • My sim works in the police as an officer, and she has a mission to start a case map, but when I click on the map it appears to go to patrol and there is nothing there. Adds a picture

  • I don't think I've ever run into that. You could try returning to the station, if that's available.

    In the police station you can find a large bulletin board in the office area in front of all the desks. When you click on that board one of the options should be to start a case map. As you progress in the case you will then be able to add more clues to the bulletin board.

    Edit: Does your sim actually have a case assigned to themself? Otherwise you have to click on the computer first to start a new case. I don't know the name of the interaction, it might be something like "Get case assignment".

  • Usually it always works and yes I click on Get case assignment at the beginning, but there are times like in this section when I click on the map and there is nothing there, sometimes there are people who are beaten so you have to give them a report

    Going on patrol does not help you at all in solving your main case. While you're patrolling the streets you are only looking for smaller crimes like two sims fighting each other.

    Starting a case map is tied to the bigger crimes, where you can actually investigate the crime scene and gather evidence that you can then analyze. So, if you already got a case assignment, the only other thing I can think of, is that the bulletin board did not reset properly. To fix that you could try to replace it with a new one. Therefor you would need to enter the cheat bb.enablefreebuild (to open the cheat console you have to press Strg + Shift + C simultaneously, if you're playing on a Windows PC) while being in the police office. Then you can access build mode to delete the current bulletin board and put down a new one. I hope that helps.
