With my current sim in the detective career, I have provided the screenshots below. After every case I delete all evidence because that previously caused a bug where I could not continue, and I had to quit the detective career and start over. So all the evidence gathered was from one crime scene. I issued an APB 10 times, and I got teen female sims the only thing that did not match was the hair color however, they had the same clothes, and traits. They were all innocent and had to be released. With this final time, I tested out arresting the first sim that appeared on the lot that did not match the clues except for the trait which was Evil. It was the correct sim and he was guilty.

@xIceRose Did you test this without mods/cc installed ?

[xIceRose]

Yes, I did test with out mods. I only use MCCC, but it still happened. 

[crinrict]

@xIceRose To be sure, you also removed MCCC ? Vanilla means, nothing in your mods folder.

Also be aware that clothing might not match depending where you are. The clues always refer everyday clothing so ask them to change into that.

[xIceRose]

Yeah no mods were active. This was a completely different sim. I posted a picture of the clues and than the sim that was guilty it was no where close to the actual clues except the trait. I deleted all previous evidence as well.

@xIceRose If you start a new save for testing purposes, can you duplicate the issue ?

Just to find out if it's save game or even Sim specific or a general issue.

@xIceRose 

Since you have all packs, that means you have Seasons which gave us hot and cold weather clothing categories.  Sims arriving on a lot usually are dressed in the appropriate clothing for the weather.  I have found playing the detective career, that the clothes won't match the clues if the weather is hot or cold out.  From what you described; I think this is what might be happening to you.  So, it pretty much comes down to using just the age, gender and hair color to find the right suspect a lot of the time.

Hope this helps.

@crinrict I will see if I can duplicate it in a different save

@CGrant56 Yes I usually looked at their everyday outfit, I had my sim ask them change outfits. So that isn't an issue. The issue is that my clue stated it was a young or Teen female but the suspect that was guilty was a adult male. And the hair color didn't match either.

Yes same issue here, there was only 1 sim on the whole lot who spawned, so not a hard guess who the guilty party is. But one of the clues was the suspect Hates Children which is not a trait the suspect had.
