So what do I have to do to up the chances of my sim actually winning prom royalty or jester?I have gone to multiple proms but never seem to win even though he is best friends with everyone in the school. If I vote for people, they will win but I can't seem to get my sim to win no matter what.I have seen somewhere that it was suggested to bring another sim with you under your control and have them vote but I'd really like to do this without having to have another sim in my household if possible. Is there anything that I can do to give him a higher chance of winning?

While you’re there, don’t forget to vote for Prom Royalty and Prom Jester! The voting box is in the auditorium and you can cast your vote for who you want to see win in each category. Unfortunately, you cannot vote for yourself but thanks to our writer, ThatSimsLady, looking at the tuning files for us, we found out that you can increase your odds of winning with high Comedy, Mischief, or Charisma skills. To be in the running for Prom Royalty, you need to have at least level 3 Charisma skill. Higher Charisma skill increases the odds further. To be in the running for Prom Jester, you need at least level 3 Comedy or Mischief skill. Higher Comedy or Mischief skill increases those odds.https://simscommunity.info/2022/08/12/attending-prom-in-the-sims-4-high-school-years/

I have a level 10 in charisma so it didn't help me with that. I think he's only level 2 in mischief and 3 in comedy.

Of course if you have multiple sims going to the prom, you can have the other sims vote for the sim you want to become the prom royalty...

It seems to be rather random. Several streamers I watched won royalty in the first prom they visited despite not having any skills or even their sim being disliked by most others.

In my game it depends on the factors mentionned above (mischief and charisma). My mischievous sim always gets voted prom jester while my charismatic sims take turns from prom royalty.

I'm just wondering.... James Turner said, by his experience, that nobody votes except us. So, when we vote, sim we voted for always wins. If we didn't vote, winning sims are random and it could be us. I'm curious if this is true.

My sim won jester crown although she didn’t crack a single joke or did mischief during the party. She vote for other sim and he didn’t win. My guess is it’s random and probably based on corresponding skills as mentioned above.

Also the prom is ridiculously short and my sim had not enough time to did much of the tasks, not to mention simply having fun at the prom. The whole thing should start at least 2 hours earlier.

Well I’m going to try it again - my sim is level 10 in charisma, comedy, and mischief and I won’t vote - hopefully he’ll get something - I’ll play later tonight and report my results - thinking positive!

My sim is a global superstar, has maxed charisma, and has befriended all the teens. She also has over 2,000 followers on social bunny and yet, she still hasn't won prom royalty. I don't have her vote, and it doesn't matter, she still doesn't win.

i'm convinced that this is just another in the ever growing list of bugs with this pack so I no longer even attempt to try - it's awful how many issues these last several packs have had and other issues that they have broken from earlier packs. By the time they get around to issuing a fix for it I'm afraid several of us will have just lost hope/interest and given up on it. Sad, because there was a lot in this pack I could have enjoyed but too many issues have prevented it from truly living up to it's potential.
