My Global Superstar has three, so far, none of them awarded at the Starlight Accolades, but hey, a trophy is a trophy! He's got two, one silver and one gold for a successful couple of Fan Meet & Greets and then just got an award for his very successful Charity Event. These I pulled out of the family inventory to place on the mantel of his bedroom fireplace (he lives in an ancient castle). My huge problem is this: How can he take these hard-earned awards with him when he moves out? True enough, I haven't yet tried to place them into his personal inventory, but if I can't, is there a way for him to 'replace' them? I thought about dragging them into a trunk, but you can't take those with your Sim when you move them into another lot, either. Why we can't just place things into a personal inventory is beyond me. EA, do you mind patching that ability in? Pretty please. It would make things so much easier. In the meantime, is there a work-around?Please, and thank you, in advance.

Speaking of awards, will they ever make it possible (with a patch) for all the Sims to actually, "sit" during an award ceremony and wedding for that matter? It would definitely be more realistic and fun.

My only thought would be to use the packing crate mod. I'm (trying to) play modless at the moment, but when my game was modded that was a god send. I haven't tested it with the awards in particular, but you should be able to pack just about anything. If you install that mod, you can just buy a crate in build, click on it to "enable packing", and then click on basically anything on the lot and you'll have an option to "pack in crate." Then, you can stick the crate in you're sim's inventory, move house, and unpack it when you get there. I haven't checked on any mods lately so I don't know if it's up to date, but it's a pretty simple object mod really and it lasted through several patches when I was playing with it before. I'll try to track it down when I have a minute, since of course I can't remember who made it off the top of my head. You might be able to find it just by googling tho.

I wonder what the odds of winning are in the game? My Sim has won 4 of them at the Accolades so far! I wonder if it has to do with how they gained fame? This Sim maxed the acting career, writes songs for the violin & piano, and spends any free time streaming and uploading videos. I have photos of her winning the first two.

Talk about the irony of it all. I was patiently awaiting the Starlight Accolades, then realized after I'd added a few pieces of decor to my Sims' brand new house, it was already nearly 6:30 pm. :open_mouth: I quickly had him don his tux, kiss his wife and off he fled into the loading screen. I only had him invite two other Sims with him. The same group, plus his younger sister show up for the awards. Erik didn't even get a polite mention, however, his sister a B-lister, received a Starlight Accolade that was said to be worn on the neck to show off fame. Now, she is a Renown Archaeologist, but truly. Her brother's been at it for far longer than she.

I'm sitting here wondering if in order for his music to be recognized, he has to be actively employed in the Entertainment Career, Music Tract? I tried to look, but his sister was still wearing the modest strand of pearls she came in with. Since I just split this household earlier today, I now have to go back to her household to check the family inventory just to see what this award was. (I presume it went straight into her family inventory. She didn't go up onto the stage to receive anything.)

@Kita5399 Congrats on your Sims' accomplishment. I look forward to that day as eagerly as I did when he got his sidewalk frame!

I'm still not getting this. When my Sim gets a note of a nomination and to go at a certain time - where does my Sim go? Where is the Starlight Accolade?

A good work around is to add all guests to a group and direct them to "sit here together." I had to do this recently for a sim wedding at San Myshuno Medows. But it is an annoying issue that needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.
