Starlight Accolades

I've had writers win for best book. Not sure if I've had anyone else win for anything else, but writer is a definite.

I think in order to get called you must have a starlight accolade reward in your family inventory so they can pull it up when they get their reward reward the easiest one is hosting a fan meet & greet not a celebrity meet & greet. When you become a rising star you can host a fan meet & greet and be able to sign autographs and talk with fans in a location you choose and if you get a gold the reward is a Starlight Accolade.

I have had a 1 star celebrity receive one for a video she had edited. Perhaps I just have to wait. I always just show up at the awards and then find out if my sim wins. I don't think I've even actually received a call saying they should go.

My sims have never gotten an award. :(

The fan meet and greet does say its a accolade though if you look at it in your family inventory, the horn one is from skills or hobbies I would think and yes you got to click on the microphone to accept the award and do a acceptance speech.

Just picked up the new expansion. thanks for the info!

You're not alone in that. I read on these forums your Sim has to attend the awards. So, I've done that at least twice now. Still nada. The guy makes 10,000 Simoleons per concert, too. He writes music, makes CDs on that machine thingie. Suffice it to say, he's doing really, really well. Made Global Superstar just after he became a YA. Started his career in his teens. Still, no love for Erik. :'(

I'm very excited. Erik Cantrell my Global Superstar just held two separate Fan Meet & Greet Events. Both were Gold Star Awards. Happiness is, that in the next two Sim days, the Accolades will be held. Let's just see if he gets noticed, now. :)

Well, unless it doesn't happen right away, this was an epic fail for me. My Sim hosted a FAN Meet & Greet and got the Gold Award. I double-checked and the trophy is in the family inventory, which is too bad because he won't be living with this family forever. He did earn a second one, but still there is just the one in the inventory. I made sure he went to the Starlight Accolades award night. Nope, nada, not even a hey, how are you? Well, sure, other Sims recognized him and some even threw confetti, but no awards. Ho-hum. What does a Global Superstar have to do? Kind of reminds me of how Bob Hope never once received an Oscar, yet he was wildly famous as a Comedian. Don't know who he is, look him up. He's gone, now, sadly. But he always entertained our troops over in Vietnam, back in the day. Made many Road to … movies with Bing Cosby, and Dorothy Lamour.

Yup! I’ve had mine win for a song she wrote and published :blush:
