Starlight Accolades

I've got the Accolades ceremony appearing in my calendar now (yay!) so hopefully my actor sim will be lucky. However, Sunday is the day I switch households due to the way the calendar is set up, which might be problematic in terms of winning awards. Is there any way of changing the day of the award ceremony? Alternatively, can I set a new season to start on a different day?

I'm guessing the answer to both will be no but I can only ask!

I also switch on Sundays - at 6am personally. I have yet to run into any issues winning an award.

This kind of thing is why I would like to see sims be able to accept awards without attending. It would be extra fun if they could have another celeb/ friend/ family member accept for them. It would be more realistic... not that Sims is always realistic. ?

LOL, congrats on your Leonardo Decaprio. I missed the first award for my Elvis Presley. Then I cancelled the next performance and chose another film company. when he became both a global superstar and experienced performer, he got another chance, and succeeded to get the Star rain price for best actor. He has also placed his brick on the boulevard but the game tells me, there is still more to achieve.

Playing in Danish, so I don't think you'll understand the words on the message but it was so much fun.

My guy got nominated for an award but it didn't go in his inventory, or get crossed off his aspiration list. After some googling I realised I was too slow to click on the microphone to accept the award. Hopefully he can get the award next time.

At least yours has been nominated. My Singer, who happens to be a Global Superstar isn't receiving his due recognition. :'( I've done everything I can think of, but still no dice. Oh, well, one day, (if my game doesn't keep throwing monkey wrenches into my works) he'll get recognized.

I hope you get lucky with him, because that doesn't sound fun. My guy FINALLY got his award. I watched the ceremony's host like a hawk until it was time to accept the award.

Two things I've discovered:

If you Sim is nominated for an award they don't need to be a Celebrity to go in. My Author Sim isn't a Celebrity and he was allowed past the bouncer to watch the ceremony. I thought he might have to bribe his way in, but it said he could just go in - and he was able to accept his reward. :)

I added a second mic to my custom lounge in SM and that made it much easier to "accept" the awards.

That's really cool, thanks for the tip. I just wish there was a way for the spouse or significant other of a star to get in. Would be very nice for his wife to be able to attend. I guess I could have him bribe her way in, but it shouldn't be that way.

@GalacticGal i have a 5 star celeb and had her take her family out and they've been able to go through the VIP areas with no problem, think so long as the sims are in a group with the celeb sim they can go where the celeb can.

From what other players have reported, yes, it does work on custom lounges. Once you delete the original lounge, it will take a couple sim weeks before it goes into effect. You just have to be patient and wait. It should then also show up on the calendar.

I guess my issue was the fact that I forgot I needed the specific trait so I was waiting for weeks for the event to show up, with no chance of it happening. Perhaps next sim week it will happen, though it's a rotational save so it will be a while yet.

I decided to put a modified version of the original lounge back in the game as well, to cover all possibilities.
