No option to issue APB in Detective career

jsn

I've had my sim go through an entire case up until he needs to issue the apb to go arrest someone, but the option does not appear on the case board



I've gotten the "apb available" message several times now, but the option has never popped up

I tried repairing my game but that didn't change anything

For some reason, my main goal is also "interrogate suspect", even though I haven't even arrested anyone yet...

Hello
Try adding more clues to the board, and see if that will bring up the option to issue an APB.

I've added the rest I had and now I have no more to add, but the option still doesn't come up

I am sorry that you are having this issue. Try sending your sim home, then go back the next working day and see if the option to issue the APB is there.
Remove any cc/mods that you have in the game and see if that helps.

Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders.

If the issue remains, have your sim quit the career then rejoin the career and see if that helps.

Sometimes, editing the police station or the hospital causes bugs in the actual game play. Food for thought. Do you not have anymore clues in your inventory to use the pc at the station to cross reference or to analysis? If worst comes to worst, remove the edited building and let the game regenerate one not edited. Have your Sim quit and then start again in that career.

I've tried everything, but even starting over from level 1 of the career doesn't solve the issue

I had to start a whole new save and load in the sims from the gallery, and finally the issue seems to be gone in this new save
It was really strange

Thank you guys for trying to help

I am sorry that you had the issue and needed to start a new save game.
I am glad that the issue is fixed in the new save game
