My sim has their first case and has figured out ALL the clues. Every time we issue an APB, it takes us to a new location, and every time the same person who fits the description of the suspect is there. EXCEPT we can't arrest them. All we can do is ask them about the suspect. This person is also a fellow cop. How do we solve this case? No other person who fits the description ever shows up. I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone offer a solution?Thank you!

Thank you for the suggestion though. if the suspect is just a townie (that you don’t care about) why don’t you go into household management and delete them, maybe a new suspect will spawn..

Update: There is no way to delete the sim. I can't find her in the manage households, and I can't cheat with right click. I don't know how to solve this case. :(

Maybe this can help you: https://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2016/01/arrested-suspect-cant-be-found-at-police-station/

The Suspect is a cop and I can't arrest them.

They also often don’t fit the description if they are wearing hot or cold outfits from seasons

In the past, some of the suspects were actually elders by the time my detective managed to track them down. :open_mouth:

Maybe it's just me but I thought the Detective career was just broken. I've tried it on two different PCs without CC and every time, the clues are completely unrelated to who the real suspect is. Job performance usually at the lowest point possible because you have to just try and arrest everyone. I figured the only way to actually advance was to cheat. Has anyone progressed properly using it?

I've progressed a bit in it (couple or so promotions so far). occasionally some actions break (routing issues? I'm not sure) but nothing that's required me to advance via cheats. maybe it gets worse the farther ahead you are and I just haven't hit that mark yet.

I’ve found that the suspect is usually the only/first Sim on the lot when you arrive to make the arrest. For those having trouble try arresting the Sim that is closest to the description, and is on the lot from the moment you arrive (plus that Sim won’t ever leave the lot either). I’ve been able to successfully make an arrest within seconds each time since noticing that.
