Has Anyone Experienced A Change In the Starlight Accolades?

I've had GF since it came out, the acting career has always been a favorite of mine. My sims has been nominated many times for an award but have never won.

That was me for a good couple of years after GF came out. I have since learned that only songs (not lyrics) will receive nominations. Like I stated, once I learned this bit of news, plus managed to install a small mod that removes the cool-down in between licensing, I restarted my celebrity. He was a Teen still living in his parents' home with this four siblings. I used to use the mod that allows for a three week season (which I prefer) but I started having problems with the Starlight Accolade Show even going on. NO HOST. :open_mouth: After consulting others on this forum, I reluctantly removed the offending mod and the Show has gone on normally and mostly without a hitch. My new save at that time was going well. My Teen rose to the status of Global Superstar, in just ten Sims days. I was ecstatic when he got his first nomination for a song he wrote. This was what a I wanted, what I yearned for. He went to the very next Show and won. That save is merely on hold until I get him through HSY, since he's my favorite Sim of all time and I couldn't imagine taking anyone else through high school with the new pack. I also recreated his wedding when MWS came out. To date, this Erik has won 20 Starlight Accolades in a row. He's currently nominated for his 21st.

Trying to have him win the four he received as a Teen, however, isn't going so well. Before I messed up the one save, he had earned three of them. I restarted and now he's not getting nominated. I did a game repair just yesterday and ran out of time before I could fully get the save setup. If things repeat what was going on in the previous one, I give up. The only thing I can do is try to keep Origin on my laptop from patching my game and uninstall HSYs before I try again on that computer. Unless, someone has a work-around.

I also play with accolades alot , i do have HSY , havent noticed anything weird. . but sure, I can keep an eye on my composer sim, does she win as often as before.

Unistalling the pack? Why? You think HSY is preventing your sim getting nominated? But you said that previous teen save (with HSY )he got 3 awards?
I know some people are uninstalling the pack because of, so called groundhog day bug. But as we know that is not related to this anyway.

If you do uninstall , tell how it went? did nominations were back on their previous level?

Maybe a factory reset could help with this issue?

Makes me want to enable the Fame system just to test it out. My sim Juliette is an accomplished pianist so I might start her on the road to fame.

@GalacticGal are you using any fame mods that might be causing a problem?

Same one I've been using all along. And like I was reminded, I had a save wherein he had won three accolades and was nominated for his fourth. When I realized I'd messed up his celebrity stars (the ones that allow for perks) I started him all over. That's when my troubles began. Today, I did a game folder Refresh, or game reset as someone called it, and began anew. Just ran into a very curious situation. Erik came back from a photoshoot, leveled up and before I could send him back inside out of the rain, his icon disappeared. Mind you, I can still see him on the screen, but his icon is gone, so I can't control him.

honestly first time i played the whole accolades thing through was with my Goths this year trying to get Bella the awards she deserves

and maybe before that i did like couple accolades events with Judith Ward and couple with my legacy sim ive since sent to afterlife and didn't really care those times

but none of the played sims would ever win any accolades no matter what I did and it was so frustrating

very rarely even any premade celebrities/ other households that id deem worthy of awards

the game would really just keep spawning randomized celeb sim everytime i go to accolades to receive any awards given

Only after I cheated the randomized sims non famous as soon as they walked in I managed to get Bella one (1) freaking award for all her hard work as global superstar and level 10 actress doing grand performance as many times a week as simly possible

so sick of randomized townies taking over everything i swear like whats the point of being famous when randomized townies are still more famous than you doing absolute nothing and being absolutely no one

Yes , that is different in my game as i dont have those random weirdos, only my own celebs and few premades what avoid deletation.

Maybe in new save just so darn bad luck?

My Sim just attended the Starlight Accolades event and no one showed up... no host, no guests. This is the first time this has happened in my game. Something's definitely up.

try it on a clean save with no mods.
