Crime Scene is not being cleaned up

Update

2023-01-31

I don’t know if this issue is still occurring or not. The thread at AHQ for this is ancient and hasn’t had any posts since 2017. If anyone is still seeing this, please create a new thread in the bug forum.

Probleme

Many lots still have signs of crime scenes although the case has been closed a long while ago. These lots can’t be bought furnished.

Cause

The game is supposed to clean up the scene after your Sim leaves it (as the message tells you). This does not seem to work properly.

Solution

Visit the lot with your active Sim (with loading screen). This will trigger the lot to be cleaned up.
