Police never catches the burglar
« on: March 01, 2013, 09:37:20 AM »
Hello everyone,

In my sims 3 game, the police never catches the burglar. I have burglar alarms all over the place, even outside. When the burglar steps onto the property the alarm goes off and he is stunned. The police arrives but just stands next to the policecar. He is doing nothing and within 3 seconds he says: "Unfortunatly the burglar got away". But the burglar is still on the property (inside or outside) still stunned from the alarm.

This happens every time a burglar arrives. No matter where he tries to enter the house, from the front door, the back, etc. There is nothing blocking the pathways for the police either.

I have the latest patch and all expansion- and stuffpacks installed except the 2 brandname stuff packs.

What can I do?

Thank you!

I've been noticing this sense the last patch. I haven't had the cop catch the burglar sense the patch.
The burglar will still be there complaining about the alarm going off and the cop says he got away.:(

Only advantage, I think the photography skill has pictures of a burgler and a cop as parts of photo collections.

The policeman isn't a fairy right?  Fairy police officers will never catch a burglar.

Yes! It's a fairy with blue wings. Is this a bug or intentionally made? How do I get a new cop? XD

Call the Police again while he's there?   Or if it's not a challenge file, you could invite him into your household and then kick him out.  He'll have no choice but to find another profession.

I finally had a cop catch a burglar today. That's the one out of 5 or 6 sense the last patch.
