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.
