Starlight Accolades Location

I need some help making my lounge eligible to host the Starlight Accolades.

I gave Stargazer Lounge in San Myshuno the Hottest Spot in Town trait, made sure it really is a lounge and that it has a microphone.
Then I removed Hottest Spot from the Studio lot in Del Sol Valley and just to be on the save side made that lot generic. As an added precaution I also removed Hottest Spot from the museum.

So after this Stargazer Lounge is the only lounge with the trait.

I did a save_as, exit the game, deleted localthumbcache and went in again.

Sent my sims to Stargazer Lounge at sunday, waited for 19:00, but the Accolades didn't trigger.

What am I missing to make this work?
  • They have seats and tables, but only the old micro. I'll try switching it out.

    I put the new micro and the exact same chairs in the same formation, but nothing happened.

    It's 17:39 in the test save. Maybe the location gets determined beforehand and I just need to wait till next sunday.

    It worked!

    I fast-forwarded the week with a hibernating vampire and come sunday took him to Stargazer Lounge. The "ceremony is about to begin" - notification popped up 18:00 already (when you're nominated it sais 19:00) and everything worked fine. Starlight Accolades under the stars and atop San Myshuno's amazing skyline :)

    So, yes, the location seems to really get predetermined at some point. I do not have seasons, so I cannot check when it appears in the calendar,

    On a sidenote, I'd been very disappointed if I'd had to place a bouncer door or create a fully enclosed room. I have one bouncer door in that lounge, but it only gates off the pool/wellness area. The Starlight Accolades I want to be a free for all and especially under the open sky.


    This sounds cool :) Might be boring going to the same old place in the long run, I might add another venue at some point.

    You have no fame restriction to enter, does this drag a larger crowd? Are fans flocking to the event, or do they not come as there is no bouncer?
