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:

I was having a different issue with Meet and Greets, in that they didn't seem to count as Parties for the Party Animal Aspiration.
I was hoping to knock two birds out with one stone, getting my fame up and getting this aspiration complete, but the game didn't count it as a throwing a party.

I ran into the same issue with Throwing Charity Parties, too.

Though with Meet and Greets, I was also having no success with completing the "Have 3 Sims Dancing at the same time" in that it only ever counted my Sim.

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.

That's really good to know, thank you!

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:

Guys, I want to let you guys know something there is two meet and greets, the Celebrity meet and greet is the ones that is automatically randomly generated by the game by other celebrities though are in the lounges with the up and coming lot trait. The other meet and greet is a fan meet and greet, you unlock it at level 2 of fame, this meet and greet is a social event you unlock to sign autographs for your fans, and can be in certain community lots and home lots depending on where you want to host it. I believe that answers the confusion.

When I host a meet and greet, I don't get the menu that is supposed to pop up telling me what I need to accomplish to have a successful event. What do I do?

Try a game repair. Exit your game and go into Origin. Right click on the Sims 4 cover and select repair game, Let it do its thing. Once it's done, go into your documents folder and delete the localthumbcache.package and then restart your game. See if that helps.
