Less ethical investigators (even by investigator standards) can steal objects from locations as being "evidence," much like Sims with the [[Kleptomaniac]] trait. They can also use evidence found in mailboxes and garbage cans to blackmail other Sims, although this action is not always successful. Also, Investigators with no love for critters crawling at the outdoors can misuse their magnifying glass to fry the insects and making them explode, negligibly boosting fun for the Investigator. This can also be done at night time, strangely enough.▼
▲Cases are solved by rummaging through mail and garbage, snooping for clues at various locations, dusting for prints, and - most importantly - talking with other Sims. However, occasionally problems in the investigation will arise. For example, it may be necessary for an investigator to pick locks in order to get inside homes to search for clues and sometimes other Sims will need to be convinced to talk, either by being befriended, being bribed, or simply by being beaten up by the investigator.

Investigator sims also need to hold stakeouts. This can be done on and community lot. The sim wil pick up some bushes, and a random message wil apear. Then, if the stakeout is successful, the sim wil see two other sims exchanging something. The sim can then go and write a report on a computer,which, in turn, will raise their career performence.▼
Finally, an investigator can also go to the police station to do "low level police work" for hourly pay, with options similar to a standard career (work hard, meet coworkers, etc).▼

*Sometimes when snooping for clues, Sims will mention that it reminds them of when Bella disappeared, referring to [[Bella Goth]]'s disappearance in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', which doesn't make sense given that ''The Sims 2'' takes place 50 years later.
*Since there is no set time for this career, [[Workaholic]]s are not affected and therefore the 'Missing Work' [[moodlet]] does not appear.
*The most supporting [[Trait (The Sims 3)|traits]] for this career are [[Genius]], [[Perceptive]] and [[Computer Whiz]]
*The eligible [[lifetime wish]] for this is "Pervasive Private Eye".
