Does it increase the chances of getting that all too-coveted Accolade? If so, has your Sim been a singer at the same time? I'm seriously contemplating another play strategy. I've had my Rock Star (courtesy of RTF) write lyrics, cut albums, make tracks for distribution. He's a full Global Superstar (& Superstar via RTF). Still, no nomination. I am getting frazzled. I was wondering if he could possibly enter the Entertainment Career, whilst he still plays concerts and if that would boost his odds of that nomination and possible win?What are your thoughts? Please, and thank you, in advance.

There is no singing career. You can get money (if good enough and other sims like it) and fame singing in public; but you can't win any awards as it is not recognized as a category. I was hoping that bands and singing careers would of been added as it would of made perfect sense and been a good time. I had a sim win an award for writing books. It is random if sims win or not. Even nominated, there is no guarantee they would win. I find most of the time my sims don't win any awards or get nominated often.

I had a Sim who used to sing in public everyday and she got awards four times in a row (she even won two one evening) without ever being nominated. I guess she was lucky :)

My sim goes without being nominated and ends up winning 2 out of the 3 times

Like many things in the game, there's no rhyme or reason to it. I had a sim once who won it on his first acting gig, EVER; level 2 acting. I think you just get points when you do the gig, and if you get lucky and get high enough points, you win.

In my game, Johnny Zest is in the comedy career and constantly streams and makes videos but he has won accolades for songs he has composed on the guitar and for 2 novels he wrote. His actress wife wins accolades much more often - she is a five star actress and has maxed out painting skill. My sim in the entertainment career was maxed out before I bought get famous and hasn't been to the accolade awards. I agree - the less celebs you don't own the more awards your sims get. Attend regardless of nominations. One time with no nomination ,my sim won 3 awards.

To tell you the truth I don't even have a clue on how to make that happen. I had this one sim who was a singer, actor, music producer, and I forget what it is called again, but a sim who does those Youtube type videos in the game. She was a vampire, so she didn't need much rest. Anyways she had all her skills maxed, and at the top of her star fame. She was always getting high marks on her acting and films that she produced. Not once was she ever nominated for an award.

Oh, that's a real bummer. But, I guess it replicates RL to some degree. So many out there with so much talent and sometimes they just don't get recognized. :'(

I haven't found a pattern yet, but I'm not the type to analyze the game, more the roleplayer.

What helps my sims getting their awards is spamming the accolades event. Every sunday I will switch to a household with a famous sim, have them invite a handfull of also famous friends and go to the accolade event as a group. The moment I see an unfamilar sim spawn at the elevator during the event, I shift-click delete it.

Sure enough, one or more of my sims will get called up to receive a prize, either my active household or my other played sims. No prior nomination required.

I've only won awards with sims who are either actors or make videos. They get nominated for best actor/actress or best video. There are other awards that I believe are random (like being a nice sim and stuff like that). My other famous sims who are painters ot writers have never been nominated. But I think anyone can win a Starlight Accolade, which is like the biggest award I believe. I think that one is random, you don't have to be an actor.

I’ve had two sims nominated for awards both were writers. One I didn’t send to the ceremony and the other won.

I use the Road to Fame mod, which allows for my Sim to hold concerts. I half fancied creating a special Event night and to set things up for singers to win a "Simmy" (Grammy) or a Sims' Choice Award. It's criminal that songwriters and singers are totally left out. Some have said you can win for lyrics written. I just rebooted my game save to a point where my Sim was still only at 2-stars hoping he can write lyrics with a writing skill of 10, to see if that helps. I'm totally frustrated. But thank you, All for your responses.

My Sims get nominated all the time. I'm wondering if it's related to their moods. I always keep all of their bars green, and there are a lot of confident, playful, and romantic objects in their home. Or it could just be luck.
