Has Anyone Experienced A Change In the Starlight Accolades?

I'm asking this, since prior to the patch my Teen Global Superstar, Rock Star, was on a winning streak earning Best Song. Now, he can hardly get anything nominated, let alone win. This is greatly disturbing to me. I wasted years since GF came out just on trying to get my celebrity Sim the recognition he deserves. For a time, things were going great, after following tips from other players.

Then I decided to use his younger self to experience HSY, and made a Flashback save for this purpose. He rises to fame just fine. In fact as of yesterday's gameplay, he's a full-fledged Global Superstar. I've had him writing songs all day and into the nights, since the Fall school session is drawing nigh. He can't keep licensing the same songs over and over at 200 Simoleons a pop, just to be ignored. He finally did get a nomination, and he went to the Starlight Accolade Show, but unlike the previous save, which got totally messed up by myself, he didn't win. And when he attempted to license other songs he got fleeced. Not one was nominated. The mods haven't changed so I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

Is it the Patch or the EP? Or neither?

I can't do a thing about the Patch, I'm sorry to say, but some have uninstalled HSY. I may just follow suit, if this doesn't change.

Please, and thank you, in advance.

    I've played a lot of actresses and only had two or three nominations even though they always get gold for their gigs and reach global superstar status with maxed out acting skill. None have ever won. On the few occasions previously playing novelists I think I had one get a nomination, but she didn't win either. My current novelist has 7 bestsellers and not one nomination. Her fiancé has four gold acting gigs, rising star status and zero nominations. I guess my sims will have to seek consolation from their spouses, fans, and millions of simoleons instead.?


    I think there is so much competition in the Acting field, as already set up by EA in Get Famous. It lessens the chances, I would imagine. But, the only competition in the Music Industry appears to possibly be Thorne Bailey. And he's an Entertainer, as far as I know. I don't play premades to ascertain if he writes songs, as well. Thing is, Erik was on such a streak. And with that first flashback reset save he was holding his own. I have some hope things will change. I did a game repair and then a game folder refresh or as others call it a game reset. He just got a nomination, too. It's just a matter of getting to Sunday in my game. It's Thursday and I sent him down to the studios to churn out his first albums. So far, he's written eight songs, so he is where I left off in the save that I killed by accident. Sometimes, I'm just a dope.

    Not sure what has changed since the last patch update but I used to send my 5 star actor to the awards on Sunday even if he wasn't nominated and oftentimes he would end up winning anyway - if I had waited for his nomination it may not have ever happened but he ended up winning at least 3 of them until I lost interest in going/got busy with other activities on Sunday nights.


    I hear you. One time my Sim didn't have a pending nomination, but he went down to the Show anyway, since his fiancée begged him not to be that kind of celebrity. He needed to go to support his friends. And, lo and behold, he won. No category whatsoever was given, so I decided when I wrote it up that it was for Best New Artist. Seemed to fit. :)
