Cerimony Awards Get Famous

I am having a similar problem except no matter what I do my sim just won't get invited to an award ceremony. I'm doing the master actress aspiration and can't get past the 3rd level because I need my sim to receive an award. is there any way I can force it or something to that effect?

@JACKIE1888 I never wait for an invitation, I just have my Sim show up at the venue on the night of the Awards ceremony. She did not win any awards for the first three or four times she attended but shortly after that I got a notification right after an acting gig that she had been nominated for an award. On the next time she attended she did win a Starlight Accolade award. Can you try attending without receiving an invitation? In my game the awards ceremony is always held at the Studio PBP lounge and it takes place every Sunday at 6 p.m. (I always have my Sim show up a few minutes early). 

@Psychotps I have a few hundred hours in this save but I kept the number of celebs under control by using the Fame opt-out in the game options. The only celebrities I have are the pre-mades plus a few more I either created through game-play or cheating up with MCCC (those were mostly DJ's). So there are only maybe 20 or 25 celebs in this save & my Sim won her first Starlight Accolade award on the 4th or maybe 5th try while she was still a 3-star celeb actress. If the number of celebs gets too low then the game will keep spawning more for the awards show & then I'd have a bunch of goofy looking NPCs with no job but a 4 or 5-star celebrity status 😞 I like for the celebs to at least dress nice for the awards show even if they have no actual talent.
