[GTW] Detective: Can't interrogate suspect on non-default swatch tables

The ability to interrogate a suspect just arrested in the detective career will not queue up.  I tried twice.  The option does appear on the table, it just won't queue.

Since I had installed two EPs and a kit that day, I tried a game repair after deleting localthumbcache but that didn't work.  I've now sent the sim alone to work for a couple of days and still no promotion.  I can't say for sure when this started since this is the first time playing as a detective in more than a year.

I've actually installed three EPs in the last few days, as well as Crystal Creations and the Urban Homage kit.  The added EPs are BH, LS and DL.

This migrated bug report forum is completely new to me so if I haven't done something correctly, please feel free to let me know.

    Hello! I did modify the police station. I'm building in a clean save, originally from https://www.tumblr.com/srslysims/189071273657/srslysims-srslys-blank-save-all-worlds. It's brand new everything I've built there.

    I've been testing the lot before adding the last bits of decoration, and this is the hangnail of the whole operation, the interrogation table. I have a 6x7 room with nothing else in it but the table and two chairs from GTW at the table.

    Also, yes! I have two detectives I've been testing the lot with. One I was determined to use the abrasive type interactions with, the other the normalish type of interactions. Neither can use the table for their respective suspects.

    I've also tested it in a mod-free save. I guess I could try to test a plain vanilla world too

    okay for some reason it has to be this particular swatch and not the first swatch in the list. it can't be the others. that’s strange

    yeah, that's a known bug. Somehow I thought that you meant you are using the default swatch when you said unmodified but I guess you were talking about a CC one ?

    Merged your thread.

    I think you understood perfectly what I meant actually! I knew that recolored tables were a problem (nocc!), so i just plopped down the table without choosing a swatch. apparently this is the problem though? if you look at the picture i attached earlier, the selected swatch in green is the one that allowed me to use the table, and the first swatch/default swatch does not work for some reason. i don't really understand how that would happen, tuning-wise?

    the way i came across this is that i built a basement room, and put down a table for each swatch with chairs. this selected swatch is the one that worked.

    Maybe default is just whatever they choose for the station in the first ? Don't know from top of my head what swatch the original police station has.

  • I also had this problem, I changed the color of the table and when I clicked the sim to interrogate them they would just stand there and do nothing. I don't know why the recolors break the table, but they do. I get that most people don't play with the active career or at least they don't change the lot, but regardless they should investigate it.
