The Sims 3 Law Enforcement Career Track

This Sims 3 Guide was originally written for the PC and Mac versions of the game, but also will help owners of the console versions - PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Please remember some info or numbers may have changed.

To join the Law Enforcement career track, have your Sim apply at the police station. This career track has two branches, forensics and special agent. Both have slightly different requirements, but each require the logic skill, so that is the preferable skill to start with. Sims in Law Enforcement will need to write reports on other Sims. Do this by rummaging in trash or talking to them to learn traits. Once you've learned some, the report can be written on a computer. At level 5, your Sim will get keys to their own patrol car. They can keep this vehicle after they quit the job, which is very cool, as the car looks sweet.

Law Enforcement Career Track Events

There are a number of interesting choices you can make in this career track, early on. Your Sim's partner may want need a hand after a bad day, and your Sim has the option to take the fall. Either you'll help your partner (hurt relations with boss, boost partner) or let them take their own heat (boost relations with boss).

You may be faced with a choice to either accept or decline a check. If you take it, your Sim seems to face no negative consequences. If you don't, you can boost your office relationships.

Forensics Sims may catch another Sim impersonating the mayor and get an immediate $2,000 bonus. There are no other events for this top level spot.

Super Spies get more events, and may also earn an instant bonus. They can get permenant raises unlike Dynamic DNA Profilers. However, the analyst has the perk of being able to do forensics research. Super Spies can only raid the criminal warehouse so often.

Law Enforcement Career Opportunities

Your Friendly Neighborhood Police Officer
This opportunity requests your Sim to head out and meet three of their neighbors at home. Visit three households to complete it. It will raise the job performance bar and relations with the boss.

Good Traits for The Sims 3's Law Enforcement Career Track

Genius
Logic is important for the early levels of this career track. While the super spies won't need logic to excel once they've reached the branch, it will help them get there if they can raise logic more swiftly. This could be skipped for them, but forensics analysts will use it heavily.

Athletic
Sims shooting for International Super Spy should take this trait to help them build athletics faster. It's not necessary for forensics, however.

Artistic
Painting appears as a performance metric at the eighth level of forensics. Why? For blood spatter analysis. Work on your Sim's painting skills early if they want to be in forensics and this skill requirement won't catch you by suprise. Take this trait to make that effort go faster.

Nice guide. Though you have forgotten something: choose the forumForensic career track and you will get your own laptop. Not a special career only item like the fridge with culinary, but you get something nonetheless.
