I have all the smart skills, including some smart faction skills (OK my interpersonal skills need a little work); I am wearing smart gear total value 12 smarts and I am still getting some crimescene information like 'thread' or 'note'. What can I do to improve the detail I am getting? Thanks.

Most of the agencies keep a smart outfit in locker for their agents to change to while searching the scene. The only other instance you will want to dress smart is when using surv. skill.

Other than that its always better to dress charm or tough, according to skills you use.

If you are not in an agency and cant use locker, you have to find a balanced outfit. Same for agency ppl when they travel.

Thanks for this you guys, also for the tip about surveillance: I'd been wondering why it worked in the beginning and had become unreliable. I'm in an agency now with very good smarts gear. Can you tell me if surveillance always works if you have enough gear or is it one of these random skills like hypnotism, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't?

Its about 50-50 at best Dale, unfortunately. Hypnotism is more reliable than surveillance, since its used on every suspect, not just once like surv.

Thanks biggie528, I won't depend on it in that case, just look on it as an added bonus.

you can actually get up to 29 smart with special gear from avh and you will get all the info nearly all of the time at that

Hi birchbeer. Any "I need a little help" or "How do I...." type questions go in the Newbie Questions forum, so as to not clutter up the other forums with people asking for assistance. I've posted questions here after playing for years. So don't feel overwhelmed. :-)
