the sims detective career DOESN'T WORK

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.

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.

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

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...😅

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

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

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.

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

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

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"

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

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.

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.

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

I love these pack revisiting videos so much! It's fun to see how much the game has changed since 2014. 💞💞

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

From my current experience, the doctor career literally demand a high logic skill. It's required to make some correct diagnostic of the patients. In the detective career, you can get yourself on ANY lot from ANY world. Here again, a high logic skill is of GREAT help. The use those analysis apparatus is based on your logic skill : High logic skill = better result, often in less time. So, get yourself a chess table, a telescope or a microscope ASAP. Also, get a library and buy the three books about logic and studiously read them. Get one of those wall trash chute. They cost §0 each. Bonus, you never need to empty them and they can't get knocked over.
