Thank you! This worked for me too! 😀

It's 2019 and the Sims team still haven't fixed the issue. Good thing for this thread because I couldn't level up for FOUR SIM DAYS for my NotSoBerry legacy challenge. Now I'm behind.

This is happening to me too. Had to find the original color table to interrogate suspect.

I have no mods installed and have not made any changes. I also have this problem along with 100 other bugs in this career. More often than not my detective stands there for an hour before moving to do anything I commanded him to do. Interrogation is hit or miss and only works about half the time. Sometimes there is no suspect, even after I made the arrest. Its hard to promote when it doesn't let you do any of the tasks. This expansion is full of bugs in all the careers I tried.

Hellooooooo, I didn't know if I could yeet this to an already-existing thread so I just decided to save myself the hassle and make my own thread, especially since the aforementioned one hadn't been updated for a few years now. I've edited the Get to Work Police Station lot as my own and I understand editing such a lot would cause bugs, more specifically the broken Interrogation Table. The main reason I'm making this a new thread is bc I wondered if such a solution has arisen and the thread from a few years ago just wasn't updated with the solution. I've also taken out all of my CC and tried interrogating with out it and it still hasn't worked.
With that having been said, I've changed my Detective Sim's story line just the slightest since I can't get the table to work. Would the same issues arise if I edited the Veterinarian lot? Thanks for your time! Happy Simming :3

I just encountered this today - so it's still an issue. The "original" color will work - it's the first one with gray/green in color. I was able to finally get the interrogation completed and leveled up for the next task.

This is still an issue from 2015? How hard is it to correct this?

I encountered this bug today after innocently recolouring the interrogation table. I put the original colour back and I can interrogate again. Thank god this thread still exists or I wouldn't have been able to resolve the problem! Would be nice to have a fix (or better still a whole pack refresh!) but I guess that's unlikely after 8 years ☹️
