I had an elderly character who retired from a career as a conservationist. With more time on her hands, she decided to get back into her DJ mixing hobby. Apparently her new mix tape made quite a sensation, because she was immediately nominated for a starlight accolade, and she won.
The trick to winning for something that isn't an official career is that you have to license something. So, you're singer will have to compose and license a song to be noticed by the awards panel. She can't just sing live.
Thanks. My Singer does earn royalties regularly though, so I think she might have licensed something in the past. But I'm playing on rotation, so I probably did not play her household on the day(?) the nominations are announced.
Generally speaking, when a Sim licenses a piece of music, you'll get the popup right then letting you know the song was nominated. I originally thought it would come in the mail. But, it's far more instantaneous than that.
