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.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try. :)

I definitely recommend the second mic.

I've never actually seen it happen anywhere other than PBP (sp?)

I have observed this in my game and noticed that when I click for her to go watch the awards, she waves and can't get in. I also noticed that certain "stars" have to enter first before it allows my sim to go in. My sim will be able to enter then (and they may be a notable newcomer or rising star) but it will let them enter after other stars have arrived and entered the building.

I now just take my sim there and let them decide when to go in. I don't keep trying.....I had to "let it go", LOL Seems the sims are smarter than me......they know when to wait and when to go :D

I noticed also that when the show ends, my sim goes to bar for a drink (usually the only one that sticks around). The bouncer remains and doesn't let anyone (fans) in unless they pay enough. Always fights at the rope! I have taken my sim outside and had her play the guitar or sing, and the bouncer then leaves, or if the bouncer stays the fans seem to go in the building with no problem. So I wonder if this happens because the last "star" came out?
