Broken detective career, any help?

rinre33

I've purchased get to work a while back and played with The active careers a couple times. The expansion is not without its glitches but I've started the detective from scratch recently with a new sim and it's almost impossible to play. No matter how many times I issues an APB the suspect is never at the crime scene. This means that no matter how well my sim does at work her performance is undermined, the chief dislikes her and I can't get promoted since the last promotion because of the career goals.
Does anyone know what I can do to aid this? I really don't want to be forced to change careers. I could try quitting the job and getting it again but then I'm worried I would loose the progress I have made.

I have actually tried that but it doesn't bypass the problem of not being able to solve the case meaning that I am unable to start any new ones

Hello
Other simmers are also having this issue, where the clues given don't fit the sim who turns out to be the suspect. You need to keep trying to arrest other sims that don't fit the clues. Try saving before trying to arrest them, then if the sim isn't the suspect you can reload the save so that you won't have a decrease in work perfornance caused by an incorrect arrest.

pause the game when enter lot, one of three sims that loaded first on the lot is the criminal.
ask the culprit to the three sims..... the one who say "sorry i can't help" most likely the criminal.
