Re: No longer being nominated for accolades

@Corpsette1 starlight accolades is a tricky one.

first of all there are 4 categories that your sim can win:

best acting

best book

best song

best video

there are also other categories such as fashion and being a good all around sim or just for no apparent reason (the host just says how excited the sim is for getting an award or something) - those can only be won by npcs (could be from played households, they will even get the award in the household inventory if they win). 

the event itself lasts until 11pm and the host will present as many awards as he can until the clock hits 11. that's when he will say the event is over and everyone leaves.

not all categories will be presented as time will run out after 2-4 awards (i don't think i ever got to 5 maybe I'm wrong), and nominees for categories not presented will carry on to next week's event. Nominees also carry on to next week if you dont attend the event.

as for your case:

i think you already got nominated so:

either the award wasn't presented in your category, or you missed an event (happens to me more than you think).

Both cases you are still nominated in that category. try a different one, there are 4.

there is no point of trying to publish in the same category as you are already nominated and therefore will not get a nomination message.

i save my game before i publish. if i don't get nominated, i reload and move on to a different category and try to publish later. trust me, it works.

get your sim at least 3 nominations (only an actor can get 4), save before traveling to the event and get there before 6pm, i get there 5 minutes earlier. Sometimes the host gets distracted which results in low award count. Its good to have a fresh save to try again.

every event i win at least 2 awards (different sims though).

good luck!

Edit: i just had 2 sims win an award for best book in the same event. So i guess it is possible for same category to present two awards.

My other sim got an award for best song and video award was not presented. So it would be pointless to upload videos as they are all still nominated for next week's event.
