Starlight Accolades

there's also the chance that the mod somehow conflicts with the way the awards are given out. i know it's been updated to interact with get famous, but you never can tell what one little change in code can lead to

also, as i said before, having an accolade of any kind in household inventory has nothing to do with whether a sim will get nominated for an award or get randomly called up if you have them on the lot during the accolades. it's random, and when on-lot, it seems to be easier if there are fewer other celebrities there too

I was just going off of what others have posted on the subject. I'll still send him to the Accolades, perhaps his percentages will reap an award? Hey, I can hope, can't I? LOL

i just sent two of my sims to tonight's starlight accolades, even though neither of them had been nominated. one of them, rachel stuart, won one for her video-making (this is actually the first accolade or award of any sort either of these sims had won and they'd been stopping by the ceremony every week for several ingame months)

since they're listed from bottom to top, i'll post the screenshots the same way. the end of the accolades at top, the beginning at the bottom, so you can see how many sims won for different things. and, it really does seem to help to have two mics at once, so those who win awards can come up and accept while the host continues to talk

editing to add the careers and celebrity levels of each sim that won:
brytani cho is the fame 4 comedian townie that came with get famous
rachel stuart is a fame 2 stylist that has maxed the media production skill
venessa jeong is a townie actress that came with get famous (she starts as fame 1, but is fame 5 for me now)
mariana ribeiro is a fame 4 actress
jean-luc bretodeau is a fame 3 director
cecelia blanck is a fame 5 entertainer (she's basically diana ross in my game)

of them all, venessa and rachel are the only played sims that won, even though venessa was unplayed at the time (so i might have to go and add another accolade to her house now)

I have seen many of those awards given out. I especially enjoy the one about the too tight jeans and can they breathe one. Nice to know your Sim can get an award for being so doggone nice. My Sim has a Pristine Reputation. I'm thinking he's going to have to host many more Charity Events to see what that reaps him. (And let's hope I don't reap any more emotional deaths at the same time.) This in reference to my Sims' first venture into such an event. He lost both his sister and her husband from hysteria. Left Erik in charge of his twin toddler nephews, which I tried to play, but things went from bad to worse. I ended up going back two game saves to restore things. Oi!
