Starlight Accolades

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.

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.

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.

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. ?

Can it work, when I have no calendar?

My guy was already a 5 star celebrity at the point I couldn't work out why he wasn't getting nominated. His household is next in the rotation after the current one though so hopefully he'll get his award shortly.

im having an issue with the starlight accolades that someone might be able to help me with- my sim was nominated for an award and attended the cerimony but i was too slow to react and missed the opportunity to collect the award. Ever since then despite many many many gold performances, a level 5 celebrity status for weeks on end and even trying multiple gigs a week, my sim has never won an award. Her fiance who attends the awards with her every week has won 2 awards without even trying... but she is the one with the aspiration that requires a starlight accolade.

Im struggling to know how to fix this.

My next plan of action, after 2 gold performances in one week and her fiance winning an award for the motivational book he rattled out one evening to increase his writing skill for the stylist career, is to get her to write some books and see if she gets nominated for a book award, as clearly acting is getting her nowhere... she's becoming the leonardo dicaprio of del Sol valley!!!

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.
