Acting Pro Sim has yet to recive an award from Staright Accolades

I've been trying to complete the acting aspiration for two of my current sims and one of them wasn't even nominated for an award and did one gold gig vs my other sim's 4 gold gigs in that week. It makes no sense. The last few sims that won awards for acting, weren't even in the acting career branch. There seems to be no consistancy and now the starlight awards start but no awards are given out. Can you please update this? I'm sick of being stuck on this household for months trying to complete this and I've been grinding.

    So this worked for me!! In real life I have nine scripts and I just pumped each one out in Sims and submitted them all at once! I had two bestsellers and the rest were excellent and I finally won an award!!! Thank you so much everyone!!

    @PsychotpsThat’s cool, that would be very useful for folks on PC!

    I’m more interested in gameplay-related suggestions, since I’m on console.

    I think diversifying your options is a good bet for those who aren’t interested in mods/simply want to achieve this without them. It seems you can be nominated for multiple categories.

    @ChapelParalysis Well, you only need to be nominated once. Getting multiple nominations may not help.

    Once you're at the ceremony, it's all random. The host will randomly choose someone (nominated?) to win. Then you just have to wait for them to finish their speech before the host progresses to the next one.

    I wonder if you have multiple nominations, and the host only chooses from nominations to win, maybe having multiple nominations will increase your chances?

    I don't know. But I DO know that four hours isn't much time. There's only time enough for 3-4 awards before time runs out. More famous sims means more nominations, which means less chances you'll win. It's too short.

    Maybe having multiple nominations will increase your chances. Instead of 1 out of 10 total nominations, you'll have 2 out of 10?

    Hope it works, because on console, you don't have much other choice.

    @TactfulTay179Congrats, I knew you would! I tested this with the books for a couple different save files to see if having a lot of more famous celebrity competition would have a major impact, but my Sims still won book awards on their first attendance of the Starlight Accolades in three separate scenarios.

    Glad we could figure out a simple solution with gameplay!

    @ChapelParalysis Hey! My sim finally got an award for a book!  So many gold level gigs and no awards.  He writes one bestseller and BOOM!  Your tip was the solution for me, so thank you very much!
