How to Travel to a Crime Scene in Sims 4
As a Sim gamer, you’ve probably wondered how to get your Sim to a crime scene without getting stuck in the perpetual loop of normal daily routine. Well, wonder no more! In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps on how to travel to a crime scene in Sims 4.
Understanding Crime Scenes
Before we dive into the "how-to" part, let’s clarify what happens when a crime is committed in Sims 4:
- A Crime will be committed, which usually involves a Sim getting murdered by another Sim or an invisible killer.
- A crime scene will appear, surrounded by crime scene investigation markers (represented as blue dots on the street).
- If a playable Sim is within a few squares of the crime scene, they’ll receive the Crime Investigation Alert, which will notify them to investigate the scene.
Now that we have the crime scene basics covered, it’s time to get down to business.
