๐Ÿ“– The story

Every clue matters, and every arrest had better be the right one. Your Sim works the beat case by case โ€” gathering evidence, analysing the lab results, building the warrant โ€” and brings in suspect after suspect without a single innocent Sim slapped in cuffs.

๐Ÿ’ The goal

Solve a long streak of cases as an active Detective with **no wrong arrests**, reaching the top of the career.
