Industry Perspective
In The Sims 4: Get to Work expansion pack, players can pursue the Detective career, which introduces new gameplay mechanisms centered around investigating crimes and solving cases. While the player-controlled Sim is on duty, they may encounter households that are involved in criminal activities. These households can be identified by having a “Criminal” aspiration or by engaging in suspicious behaviors.
Strategic Implications
Players who wish to add an element of challenge to their Detective gameplay can actively seek out and investigate households suspected of criminal activity. By gathering evidence and interrogating Sims, players can build a case against a household and potentially arrest its members. This can lead to significant rewards, such as promotions and bonuses.
Advanced Perspective
It is important to note that not all households with a “Criminal” aspiration or suspicious behaviors are necessarily involved in criminal activities. Players should carefully evaluate the evidence before making any accusations or taking action against a household. Additionally, players should be aware that investigating and arresting criminals can have potential consequences, such as retaliation from the arrested Sims or their associates.
