[GF] Starlight accolades hosts incompetent

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.50.7.2300
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? University, Island, Famous, Seasons, City, Parenthood, Spa, Tiny, Laundry, Patio, Backyard, Movie, Snowy Escape
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go the awards ceremony
What happens when the bug occurs? Starlight Accolades are Always a chaotic mess, with Sims hopping out of their seats and wandering around. But lately, the “hosts” of this award ceremony are behaving incompetently. They may show up, and stand outside, sit in the back row or chat for hours before finally making to the microphone. Or they will get distracted by the late entry of other star Sim and stop presenting. Or they will wander away from the mic and never return. And the “This concludes tonight’s ceremony” message never pops up.
What do you expect to see? Hosts showing up on time, stepping to the mic and presenting awards. It is very frustrating when your Sim needs to win an award to complete an Aspiration and the host manages to give out only one award because he doesn't reach the microphone for hours after the official start time, etc.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

  • This happens to me, too!! The host shows up late, does everything BUT announce the winners and then the event ends having only one or two NPCs win something. The only difference between my problem and yours is that I DO get the conclusion message.

  • The main issue with starlight accolades is that this venue gets a lot of celebrity visitors that attend the ceremony.

    When a celebrity enters a lot/room normal sims react with cheers and thought bubbles with his/her portrait.

    The host, as a normal sim, gets distracted when they arrive and stops reading the nominees.

    This topic is 2 years old, I have given up on any upcoming fix.

    I've stopped achieving awards the normal way, I use cheats and make changes to the venue. I get 5-6 nice awards each time to display at home:

    I'm on PS5 all packs and kits. My host arrives over 2 hours late. Takes almost an hour to stand at the mic and then only 1 or 2 people get their awards, just like another comment I saw. I have never had this issue before. I had a break from playing over the holidays, I was only logging in to do the special events. Now that I have time to play again, I started to go to the awards ceremony and it's frustrating. I have even tried showing up at 2 in the afternoon hoping it would give the game more time to decide to spawn the host. No deal.

    For those that have a Host that is unreasonably late, try going to the lot and then going into CAS for a moment. I just did that and when I came out the Host was standing there waiting. I'm going to try it again the next Sim week and see if it works. I'll make and edit to this post to add information on whether it worked again.

    Please describe the patch or change you made: Life and Death pack installation and associated patches.

    The host is sometimes just standing in the car park and behaving like a fan, they change every time even though the original host was Katrina Caliente and she's still in my game. It started changing to these random Sims and stopped working properly. My Sims are nominated but the event is so short there's rarely time for the awards. It's so frustrating to see them walk up to the mic just in time to say goodnight! I've even tried arriving there at 3pm to give extra time in the hope that will make a difference but it doesn't.

    How I wish I could bring back Katrina she was so professional, isn't it a shame when the new host just doesn't measure up!
