can we acknowledge that kayla’s sim matched the description of the suspect

My favorite annoyance in this career is sometimes the person you have to arrest is a raging werewolf. so you cant arrest them.

[pauld]

My favorite bug happened a long time ago. I found the suspect, arrested them, and when I went back to the Police Station, the suspect was gone. I couldn't lock them up, or interrogate them, or anything. They were gone. I kept issuing APB after APB, but the suspect would always disappear at the station. I finally figured out what was happening: the game had randomly assigned the police chief as the criminal. At the crime scene, the Sim was the criminal, but back at the station, they were the chief.

There’s a specific interaction with the chief called “talk to chief”that’s marked with the badge. You have to do that interaction for it to mark off that you talked to the chief. My biggest issue is that my chief doesn’t come into the building anymore. He spawns way down the road and never leaves, so I have to run way off the lot to talk to him lol

It’s funny how we have a detective career but no robbers or actual evil sims

[simonemoore]

What’s weird to me is if you have a baby you see the doctor but if you commit a crime there’s no police

[Bunnybananabunny]

The biggest problem is suspects having cold and hot weather wear so they don't actually wear the clothes theyre supposed to in the APB...😅

[selkiefluff]

The detective career is actually probably my favorite out of the three. I love looking for suspects based on clues. The doctor and scientist one feel more repetitive, plus you run out of time because you have to keep walking in those huuuge lots. The only downside is the constant loading screens in this one.

I've played this career many times. A trick when you get the "go on patrol" requirement is to go on patrol, then go straight back to headquarters. You'll immediately be given other tasks, and not have to worry about going on patrol. (Which, as you've noticed, is really bugged.)

Also, when gathering evidence, always gather much more evidence than they request you to get. The more clues you have, the easier it is to catch the suspect. The problem with the clothing clues is that they don't take account of weather; the clues always reference everyday clothing. You may have to use MCCC dresser to force anyone you encounter to wear their everyday outfit, to make sure you have the right suspect. Or just get enough clues that you'll get multiple references for hair and eye color.

i think this is my first time watching someone play the detective career, i always forget it even exists if i’m being honest 😭 thanks for the upload as always simsie

[britt]

the police chief constantly being naked/showering outside made me weak, like im pretty sure thats work place harassment, but also, being the sims its insanely funny

[lawrencecrocker]

We need an opposing burglar career. I was hoping that was gonna be our hot update, since stolen items can be refered to as "hot"

[thesourpatchkidd]

What would be cool and needed is them going back and re-doing old packs, similar to the pack refresh (that inexplicably happened once and never again) but the focus is on making the packs and its features work as intended. Pause releasing new content, or most likely release kits alongside these "refreshes" so that the team's energy can be focused entirely on fixing what doesn't work and improving what does.

[msmichellewinchester]

I've never actually had a problem with the patrols. I don't know how it's working fine for me, but it is. Usually it's the sims that spawn with me that immediately start fighting or cursing at me, so it's a matter of like two minutes and I'm back at the station. The only bug for me is probably the chief, because the task that tells me to talk to them never completes. But that's such a minor thing I don't really mind.

[mekizfreen]

It’s not the sims without bugs!! They’ve just become life at this point!

[RyeToasty]

I was just playing the detective career and "the talk to the chief" interaction was somethig that got me stumped too, but if you go through the different interactions you can do, you will find one that says "talk to Chief" or something like that with a little icon next to it. 16:55

I recently played the Detective Career and my Sim retired as chief of police. Her wife was a global superstar author who wrote a book called My Wife The Cop. Loved arresting Sims so much fun. Also a number of police officer Sims showered in the rain almost every Sim day. Madness but hugely entertaing

[StefPlaysGames]

When I played peach generation I realized the apb described their everyday outfit and not necessarily what they were even wearing and it took me literally days to understand how to the interrogations

[snapppedinhalf]

Stanley Humphrey lore includes him willing to do anything for money, except be a cop LMAO love that

[BTSPlus]

Kelsey recently did the detective career for peach gen and it seemed okay. James Turner was also doing a test run with it on his members only channel and it seemed OK except when he cheated to jump levels. Not sure if they used any unusual mods. I haven't tried it recently. I know when I did you shouldn't really jump around... but that was before the fears were added.
