Sim stuck in police station task on sims free play

I fell asleep while my sim was working on a help task at the police station and now I can't finish the task. It says the task is complete but there's no bubble to close out the task and now I can't do...

    @SimonApple54 You'll have to contact tech support so they can add new save data to your cloud. It'll take a couple days but they can definitely fix it for you.

This happend to me. What I did was to make sure the sim was active (plumb bob over his head) and then click the the red X in the sim menu box. This will produce a dialog box that will ask you if you want to finish the shift. You want to say yes. I will post a screenshot of what I'm talking about tomorrow when I send my sim back to work.

    Mine does not even give me that option. When the sim is selected there's no where to X out of it. And when I try clicking on anything it tells me I can't send a busy sim to work. This is what mine looks like and the message that I get.

      It looks like you have not started your sim's work shift. Simply sending your sim to the police station does not begin the shift. Once there you have to tap on the flashing briefcase. Once your sim has started their shift they will move out of the way and the sim information box will change and you will the the red x that I am referring to.

        My sim was at work working their shift when I fell asleep. The shift then ended before I got back on the game. Every other time it let me finish the task and everything was ok. For some reason this time it didn't let me finish the task and my sim is now stuck. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it too. I've deleted and reinstalled the game, I've fired and rehired my sim, I've changed to another job and then changed back to police, I've tried clicking on help task bubbles, I've tried clicking on the briefcase and nothing works. Anything that I click on gives me the above message that I can't send a busy sim to work.

      I have the exact same problem. The sims is in their casual clothes (not the police uniform) and they are considered not at work. So, there is no way to cancel the shift or send them back to work (because they are considered busy).

    I did that too, 3 times and it keeps happening. Been ok until today.
