Starlight Accolades

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'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 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. :)

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

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!

Does anyone know if a sim other than the actors, or video editors, can win awards at the Starlight Accolades? I have a sim who's written many musical pieces and another who paints masterpieces all the time, but it only ever seems the actor sims win. Is that how it is supposed to work?

Yes, writers and musicians win awards, too. In fact, publishing books and songs (including lyrics) is a great way to increase fame.

Hm, must be few and far between. My Global Superstar has released 13 albums, and has released lyrics, too. So far, he's overlooked. Ho-hum. Maybe in his next iteration, you never know.
