My sims can't interact with the policeman
Regina:
It's very possible this is caused by one of the mods in my game because it's been happening since before NL, but reading the burglary thread and the fact that a couple of my sims were burgled last night and had another failed attempt at interacting with the policeman jarred my memory so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone else has had this problem.
I try during the whole time the cop is on the lot to interact with him without success. Previously once he arrested the burglar, my sims could talk with the cop but now, although the option is active, they just follow him around trying to talk to him while he walks aimlessly around his car like he can't find the door, then he gets into the car and drives away.
RainbowTigress:
I have had the same problem, even before NL.
Regina:
That's what I was saying--this started pre-NL.
Do you have mods in your game? I'm wondering if it could be related to something I put in my game, and like I was saying just hadn't given it much thought and haven't taken the time to test it through because, well, it's kind of hard to know when a burglary is going to happen. LOL

Yeah, I have a bunch of mods, but I haven't tried taking them out, and I haven't had any burglaries since NL. I never got them much anyway. From what I understood, your sims have to go to bed within a certain window of time, and mine are usually up past that. You can force a burglary if you want to test with debug mode. Enter boolprop testingcheatsenabled into the cheat window, and then shift click on the mailbox. Choose "Make NPC... Burglar." Soon a burglar will visit your lot. (It doesn't actually make a new burglar, it uses one that's already made.)

It's a VERY annoying bug introduced in University. Not fixed in NL and not fixed in either the University or NL patch.
If you make the cop selectable you will see that many multiple leave the lot interactions keep getting queued up continuously over and over again infinitely until he leaves. If your sim tries to interact with his, the leave the lot actions will push forward past your sims interaction and eventually completely knock it out of the queue.
My hunch is this is a really badly implemented attempt to fix the issue pre-university where sometimes the cops would just get stuck on your lot and never leave.
Another obnoxious bug university introduced that still hasn't been fixed and annoys the crap out of me is that since university 9 times out of 10 when your sims chat online with someone they haven't met, they don't actually meet the person. >:( The computer used to be a great way for popularity sims to meet someone new but now chatting on it is basically just a waste of time.
