I don't think that's an accolade. You get a trophy very similar to it when you host a successful meet-and-greet. Sims almost never get accolades. It's pretty much broken.

At one awards night my main sim won 2 awards - 1 she was nominated for and one she wasn't. Her husband won an award for a book he wrote although that is not why he is famous at the same awards. I have deleted Thorne Bailey and his family and Brittany chi but all other celebs are still in the game. My Leo di Caprio 5 star celeb didn't get an award which was funny.

What does your sim do for a living?

It depends on if your sim acts, simstagrams, cooks or goes to the talent nights at the local lounge or anything else they are famous for. You can get notifications if you are nominated. Try hosting a fan-meet and greet. After one I did find a random starlight accolade in my household inventory. Keep trying!

It's SEVERELY rare to win. I've done three entire playthroughs of the Acting career without ever winning.
I always go, but I use it as an excuse to shmooze with the other famous sims since there's 0% chance of winning, even when nominated.

That's so weird. I was really disappointed in how easy the acting career was for the one Sim I tried with it. She had high charisma skill and only 1 point in acting (remember, TS4 starts Sims off at 1, not 0). She auditioned for things she wasn't qualified for and got the parts. She was SO stiff, yet nominated for a COMMERCIAL ... then WON... Wayy too easy for her. Although she was a traditionally cute young lady, the type Hollywood would IRL unfairly favor, but how did the game know?!

This is weird. :neutral: :confused:

One thing is that I don't want a bunch of "who do you think you are?" so-called "famous" rando Sims, so I would cheat to lower their status, since I couldn't remove it. I also might've deleted some premade famous Sims, not sure. (When I played GF, the mod to reduce Sim creation was broken, but I tried to combat that.) MAYBE my game did have less competition than most vanilla players?? (Although I made some of my own famous Sims, though they didn't have experience, and my Sim did have a little, more than anyone else, just because she's the one I played, though only for a Sim week.)

Or perhaps charisma is a huge key factor???

Or because I only played ONE Sim as an actor, so maybe the game favored her?

Or it was random. Though I wanted it to be more difficult, and felt disappointed, so I wouldn't say I'm lucky.

It's completely and 100% broken. It is utterly impossible to get an award.

I wrote a mod that guarantees nominations. I got three nominations, two for acting gigs, and one for a book. I still didn't win anything.

One of the award ceremonies, noone won because every 30 seconds a new famous sim arrived and the entire ceremony stopped as everyone just HAD to greet them. Took over a game hour before the host restarted and a few seconds later, a new famous sim walked in, another hour... etc.

The entire system is completely borked. So, don't play Get Famous expecting to get awards, because you won't.

Maybe instead I'll see if I can remove that "freak-out" everyone does with famous sims.

Really? My sims get awards fairly regularly. I guess there must be some bad luck involved or something. :(

Judith often gets awards, but she's global star.

Are the starlight accolades announced/hosted on a particular weekday, or are they totally random events?
