I Know I Remove the Mod for That!

I just got surprised. I tried a mod that was supposed to extend the hours of the Starlight Accolade Show, but it never seemed to work, so I removed it. I just now verified it is NOT in my game. But, I was only prompted to doublecheck, because I took a moment to <3 the Accolade Show in my calendar. Lo, and behold it now states the Show begins at 3PM and goes until 11PM. This is great, but has anyone else noticed this?

Is this a little something they gave us in yesterday's patch? Or has something wonky gone on in my game?

Yes, I always delete the localthumbcache.package before I play. ALWAYS. I do hope this is a fix for the many Sims who now show up to the show and for the fact the Host takes way too long to return to the microphone. Otherwise, I'm not awake and this is a very bizarre dream I'm having. LOL

Please, let me know if it's longer in your game, too. Thank you, in advance.

    Thank you for your response. I just went back into my game, did a save recovery and the calendar is still marked for the Show to begin at 3PM. It's okay, Erik will be ready, but I'm surprised. I have no other mod that would do this installed. Guess I'll just roll with it. Weirdness.

    I remember that one time I pretty much cleaned out everything by putting my Sims 4 folder on desktop, then launching the game to generate a new, clean folder. After that I put my saves, screenshots etc back in bit by bit. I'm not sure if it would help tbh, but it's really all I can think of rn, since you said you already deleted the localthumbcache.package.

    The thing that gets me, is that when I had the mod installed, the calendar NEVER noted that the Show was to begin at 3PM. Even if I sent Erik he wasted time just sitting around waiting for the show to happen. But, now with the calendar marked, I just took Erik down to the PBPS Studios Lounge at about 3:03PM, game time. Got the message: Cue the Music the Starlight Accolades is about to Begin, or however it's worded. Not long after he got upstairs (I use a gorgeous remodeled version of the lot) the others began to file in. The Host arrived and the Show began. What I noticed is that the first winners never went to the microphone and in a couple of cases the Host actually never really left the microphone. I had to scramble and place a second microphone so Erik could accept his award, because although the Host moved away, before he could step up to the mic, she was back that fast. In fact, the two were one, for a moment. LOL If this is how it's going to work from now on, I don't have a problem with it. As long as my Sim gets his chance to win for Best Song, I'm happy. :)

    I just wondered if this was unique to my game, or a nice little fix to the ridiculousness going on of late with the Show. Too many Sims, too much lag, too much standing around doing nothing on the part of the Host, etc.

    Must be your game then, as I have used the mod always, and it does, not supposed , work in mine, gladly B)

    As it says in the page of description of the mod, you have to wait 1 week it to show up in calendar , and maybe it takes the same opposite way?


    any insides? @gettps

    Don't recall reading the bit about taking a whole week, but I may have left it in longer than that. I'm just gobsmacked that this last Starlight Accolades w/o said mod started at 3PM. Of course, for the next several Sundays I don't see the Accolades listed at all. :open_mouth: I'll just have to wait and see if they take place come the next Sunday, I guess. This is just getting weird.

    ETA: My Sim just got a third nomination for Best Song. The calendar adjusted itself to show the Accolades on the upcoming Sunday. Huh, learn something new every day.
