Sonshine: I think the hiccup is happening because the designated lot is a performance park instead of a regular one. I don't think Ambitions's scripting is meant to be used with venues from other, especially later packs.

As an experiment, I'm going to try the PI profession with good ol'e Miraj in Twinbrook with all packs installed, but with no new venues placed. So far, it is loading well and not too slowly.

Nindigo, will you be playing him in Appaloosa Plains still as well - As in having 3 PI games going at the same time?

Yeah? Is that a lot? ;D

Miraj has solved 10 cases in AP so far, I believe.

Around 20 in Twinbrook and Anna-Liza is almost done with her 35.

Oh wow!! I didn't realize you were almost finished with two of the LTW's.

If you don't feel it's a lot, it's not. lol

I've tried playing two saves at the same time and I just can't. I get them mixed up. I'm in awe of players that can handle more than one game at a time. :)

I don't know. He had another one where he was supposed to snoop for clues at the park, but he went someplace else (can't remember the place atm) and it still counted. I'm wondering if EA didn't goof on the names of the places. As w/the first one, there is no highlighted option to snoop at the park, but there was the highlighted option the other places.

Can you guys please tell me if The Case of a Cop Gone Rogue is problematic in your games too?

It has cancelled itself out twice for me now - in the same game with Anna-Liza. Completing it will net a service reward.

That s exactly the one I'm doing now. I'm waiting for the criminal to come to the courthouse and he's not budging. I was just about to ask how I can force a sim to come. I miss the teleporter bush for sims 2!

What part are you working on Nindingo? For now, I'm stuck. I keep calling the criminal and at first he said that he'd come over, but I never saw him. Then I got the msg that "someone in this group has issues..." Now, he keeps saying he "doesn't feel like coming over." : /  One whole day busted. I'll try the next day to see  what  happens.

I've had something like that happen when trying to contact the criminal in attempt to meet them somewhere. - That they'd come over, but never show up.

In my last play session I just played, taking care of the garden and went to the Spring festival. Going to jump back in-game soon.

I've got an idea for that Art Heist case if it comes up again... Replace the actual Science Center rabbit hole with a new copy. *Blush* I feel silly that I didn't think of it before.

Reading over the older PI play-through notes at Carl's helped give me the idea.

It's actually quite nice having those to read through. It's an interesting read to see what cases where easily solved and which we had issues with.
