Thanks Crin! I can answer your questions. When I arrive at the lot where the APB suspect is supposed to appear the lot remains empty, no matter how much time passes. No one shows up, but there will still be sims walking by, none of them are the suspect in question and when asked if they've seen the suspect they respond with "sorry, I haven't seen anyone matching that description."
I tried to see if my game was doing that thing where it was giving me the wrong APB clues, and started trying to arrest the passerby, but obviously, that didn't work. In the end, I got so fed up that I ended up just quitting my save. I've also tried taking that sim out of their current save and starting them on a fresh save with no mods, but still got the same result, no sims at the venue. So I have no idea what's going on. :-/

@halloweenchild13 It could be the other issue escalated to no Sims now.
Thanks for the report.

It's a very strange issue indeed, here's hoping it'll be fixed soon or there'll be a walkaround.
You're welcome.

I'm having a similar issue where sometimes there are no sims on the lot, sometimes there is just one sim on the lot that does not at all fit the description. Same thing where the other sims in the world that eventually come in all say they "haven't seen anyone like that" and well lol me neither but it makes it kinda impossible to advance in the career. I've tried issuing an APB several times and same thing every time. I know there was a bug like this years ago that was fixed, but I think I might be seeing something similar.
