So I set up a celebrity meet & greet for my B Lister Sim who is a lvl 7 actor. However, once there although there are various activities he needs to do to make the event a success he can't do any of them. Everyone is just standing around while the clock ticks down. I can't even end the event by sending him home. If I click on his phone to "travel" he just chats to some unknown person & if I click "go home" he walks to the end of the lot & just stands there. What can I do to avoid losing this Sim? Unfortunately I saved the game with him there before I realised there was a problem so I can't go back to the previous save.

On the the load screen, if you click load game, highlight that save game then the recover save button at the bottom, there should be a list of previous saves from that file. There might be one from before the event that you can recover.

I wonder if the same thing will happen if I try to hold another meet & greet.

I had my sim host a meet and greet at their home lot. Completed every task and earned gold. Maybe try it at the home lot and see if it works for you. Good Luck!

I recovered the game last night & was able to regain most of the progress we'd previously made. Haven't tried the meet & greet again yet. I'll try it at his home next time & see how that works.I'll also make sure I save the game just before it starts. I'm relieved to find that aI'm not the only person who has a problem. Have you also had issues with the awards night? My Sim needs to win an award for his aspiration but when we went to the awards ceremony, although I got a message saying he'd won an award & it was in his inventory it wasn't there & he didn't get the aspiration points.

Just a quick note that this thread is about meet & greets, not award ceremonies so let's please be mindful to stay on topic. :smile:

Just so you know the meet and greet award goes into your household inventory, not the personal inventory. I never accepted it or anything. It just appears there.. kind of like the date awards.

I did actually ask a second question about awards mid-way through the post, which is probably why people started talking about them.

An update on my meet & greet conundrum - after reading a guide on SimsVIP I realised that meet & greets have to be held at an "up & coming" or "hottest spot in town". Once I held my meet & greet at one of those it went off successfully.

They didn't have to be held at those places for me.

I hosted a Meet & Greet at a swimming pool, and another at the Stargazer's Lounge, neither of which had either of those traits.

Well, I guess it's not so important, as long as doing that let you get past the issue.

All I know is I thought a restaurant was a good location and no fans showed up, so my Sim wasn't able to fulfill the criteria at all. :open_mouth:
