Sugar Skulls in 2019

I'm trying to complete the sugar skull collection for a specific Sim, so the showhiddenobjects approach won't accomplish what I'm after. I need the game to acknowledge the completed collection.

So my Sim has the headstone of a recently deceased friend in her yard. (Nevermind how she acquired it.) On October 1 I was able to click on it, choose "Leave sugar skull," and I got a notification that a Day of the Dead celebrant could be found wandering the neighborhood to give her a skull. So far so good. I looked around for a celebrant. Last time I did this, the celebrant didn't wear the skull makeup and outfit, so it was really hard to figure out what was going on. But eventually I did. No makeup anymore; you have to click on everyone walking around to find the NPC with the skull. But for 24 Sim hours I clicked on everyone I found walking in the neighborhood (Glimmerbrook), and never saw the interaction "Ask for a sugar skull." Twice I did this, and nada. Have they changed it again?

This Sim has completed every collection except this one. It's making me nuts.

    I have the sugar skull collection in my gallery. All you need to do is place the room somewhere in build mode. Once placed go into live mode. Select the sim you want to complete the collection and click on their inventory. Now drag the skulls in live mode to the inventory. The game will recognise them as completing the collection this way. You will have to drag them in live mode for this to work :D Hope this helps you, happy simming ;)

    Oh...um...okay. If I ask too many questions, will I end up as a headstone in her yard?? :open_mouth: :wink:

    I've been able to get sugar skulls all summer by clicking headstones and the NPC did show up in full garb and makeup so maybe it's a recent glitch? Not coded to work with Glimmerbrook maybe? Does it work in a different neighbourhood?
