Private Investigator Play-Through

[Sonshine]

ONe way to get around that is to go to t he police station and click on "obtain new investigator case" or something like that. On my first day I had Hetty take on 3 cases. you're able to take on as many as you can complete.

I started my PI playthrough. I independently chose Appaloosa Plains and I chose Hetty Lionhart. If anybody has taken a look at her, she is pretty ugly and evil looking. I completely remade her and made her a YA. I also edited most all of her contacts since most of them (18 out of 20) were strong dislikes and one enemy. : /  She also had some pretty bad traits which I changed. I gave her friendly,

Here are some pics:

I like what you did with her makeover and house.

Good to know. I prefer the one phone call at day though since I like to also do other things with my Sim/Sims. I rarely just test something out without giving the Sim/Sims an actual life. Also, it is nice to learn something about the game mechanics.

TY MrsFlynn!

Nindingo, towards the middle and end of the career, there won't be any time for more than 1 case per day, lol.

Very true.

I'm playing the PI in two different saves now - both in Twinbrook. It's funny to see how some of the same cases revolve around the same Sims in both saves, independently.

[MrsFlynn]

Will you both be taking notes on what cases you get at what career level in each of your games?

For example:

Level 8
Case Title - Disappearing Auto

I think I may have already mentioned this, but I am interested to see if the game gives certain cases at different career levels. In my experience I'm thinking yes, but what cases those are I'm not quite sure yet. It may be different each play through?

Miraj's Cases

*Notes:
- I am convinced that the level of logic decides what cases are offered. Miraj kept getting the same low level repeat cases while his logic was at or below level 3.
- I decided to marry Kat Hunter to her boyfriend, because she kept giving Miraj the same In the Name of Love case over and over.
- Reading up on logic sped up the promotions. I didn't even register that Miraj was level 9 before he was promoted to level 10, Private Eye. Oopsies.
- His level 10 service reward did not trigger right away. But wow! Miraj got a full ceremony with the mayor outside city hall - Anna didn't. He also got a 4 day long +50 Neighborhood Hero moodlet.

Found a "new" case called Great Clap Trap of an Art Heist. It's not on the Wiki's list. I did take notes of the case and will type them up later unless someone else can find notes on the case?

I ended up having to cancel at the very last part of the case (Confirm Criminal's Presence) due to Yasmine getting reset via Errortrap. The best we can tell is that Aggie may have gotten eaten by the game. It sounds as though the game deleted after she went into rabbithole.

It's suggested to use DebugEnabler to fix invisible Sim, if that doesn't work use MC Total Annihilation to fix or cancel the case and try a different one.

And some good tips:

- Try to confirm presence right aft the Sim goes to work (into their rabbithole). This is usually around 8-9am (Monday - Friday). Otherwise the case may fail.

- If these cases are done on the weekend they won't be able to be fulfilled.
