Oh, Dear . . .

I can say that the inability to drag things to the trash has been fixed. All I can say is at what cost?  I've tried twice, now, to take my Sim to the Starlight Accolades Show.  He gets there all right. Gets a seat, the Host joins those in the studio. But the Host is too busy freaking out over the attendance of a Global Superstar, Rock Star, to do his job of hosting this event. No hosting and guess what? No awards get handed out. Sheesh. This is the second host, too. The first Host, a gal, kept running back and forth between the microphone, in which she never said a thing, freaking out and snapping pictures of the three-time Clean Sweep recipient. Should he win tonight, then he's halfway through his fourth go at it.

At least this time around, unlike the first round, my celebrity didn't become Unbalanced, which turned into an ailment all in the time it took him to walk from one room to the next. 🤥 And while it was fun experiencing this part of the new EP, I did end up sending him to the Naturologist, I failed to watch the time, however. By the time I decided to have him leave early, it was already 5:30 pm. Barely enough time for him to change his clothing.  The Accolades Show won't start until your active Sim gets there. Gr. However, it eats up the valuable time for the event to run. It ends at 11PM.  This doesn't allow for too many awards to be handed out if the time is in any way curtailed. I'm sure you can see my dilemma.

At least this second round, my celebrity Sim managed to not fall prey to this malady, although this would follow my own storyline, nicely. The family has been through a traumatic event, after all. Still, if the Host is going to act like a Schoolgirl, then I may just have to put this save on hold. Darn.

So, how are you liking the EP thus far? This is my only complaint, at the moment. I'm still excited about the things it offers.

  • I’ve been having problems with the Starlight Accolades for a while, probably months. It’s been different problems. One time random sims were using the microphone to sing or do comedy so the host couldn’t announce the awards. Last time the host showed up last minute but at least my sim recieved his trophy.

    I have noticed that the reactions to celebrities has increased recently and is really disruptive. My sims drop everything else to embarrass themselves gawking over a celebrity.

    Terribly sorry bout that, I was just so excited! but also anxious 😱 and I just really had to capture every second of the fabulous event with my camera!! I'll do better next time I promise! 🙏😅

    Thank you so much for the chuckle!  Yeah, it was nerve-wracking all right. My nerves were just about shot.  Oh, well. I am happy to report, I recalled there was an update, however small, with the release of the EP.  So, I did a game repair. And you know what? Success! The Show that must go on, did!

    Thank you for responding. I'[m so sorry to hear of your troubles. What venue are you using for the Starlight Accolades?  Make certain it's got the lot trait Hotspot, rather than Up and Coming Hotspot. That's important. Have you tried a game repair? Or have you check your mods, if you have any?

    I had some problems where there simply was no host a time back, but once I got it sorted, things have been going just fine until the Patch, that is. Happy to say, I did a game repair, (Which I generally do after a Patch, but in thinking this patch was said to be small, I didn't do it. 🤨) My bad.  Things are working again for me, at least. I wish you the very best of luck.

    I’m still using the lot that came with the pack, I only go there for the award show so haven’t gotten around to updating it. 

    i’m glad it works again for you! I will also try a repair and see if it works again. That is if one of my sims gets nominated again. Last time it was an author that won for his second book, it must have been awesome 😃
