Couldn't accept award
So I attended my first award ceremony today and my sim won an award for best performance and said if he accepts he gets it. I wasn't sure what to do. I clicked the host, the option wasn't there so I ...

@themastergamer43 You will still get the award, even if you don't do the acceptance speech. It'll be in your household inventory/
If you really want to do it, wait until someone else gets an award, once the speaker steps back, you can bogart the mic and accept yours by just clicking on the mic.
- @Psychotps Well I guess it's bugged. I went to build mode and looked and it wasn't there. I got screwed
- @themastergamer43 That's odd. I know that's the way it worked in the past, unless it changed in an update. Granted, it's been quite a while since I got an award and didn't do the acceptance speech. I usually do as I said, just wait and do the "Accept award" action when someone else gets an award.
There is a minor bug in how it works. Your sim will usually automatically do the "Watch" action to watch the awards. If your sim is doing that, and you click on "Accept award", the "Watch" action doesn't cancel in favor of the "Accept" option. You have to cancel that one first.
I usually wait until I see my sim's name in the notification box that they won and then immediately pause the game. I then cancel the watch action, click on the mic and select "accept award" and unpause it. That usually works. If not, I wait until someone else wins and then I do the same thing. I always get it before the award show ends.
It's been quite a while since I haven't accepted it. It's always appeared in the household inventory in the past. I'll have to try it again and see if that's still the case.Well I didnt know you had to click on the microphone cause it was my first time going to one of the ceremonies. I won a trophy my first time too. I waited for a long time for it to be sunday. Waiting, keeping my sims from crying at the dogs tombstones and keeping my cowplants fed. When it finally came I went there. I won a trophy and got nothing out of all this effort and waiting. I feel somewhat satisfied after getting revenge on the sim host and the celebrity who accepted his.
You know what they should really add? Instructions. When the notification comes up saying you won it should also say "click the microphone to accept your award" instead of "if he accepts it'll be in your household inventory" I didnt know until I googled and found out its too late.
