    So far I had no problems to invite co-star, director and stylist.

    Hi @procian

    text isn't the same in both forms though ? Bit weird. Always make sure to fill out all the fields.

    I've also haven't seen this on my own game. Been working fine so far

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, mediafire, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

    I moved this to tech and marked as solved.

    Maybe they were just busy ? I did an other invitation to and for me only someone showed up.

    Let me know if it starts to be come a regular thing

    It seems to be quite random how many shows up in my experience anyway.

    It may be tied to your level. When I had just started acting only two showed but my recent invite where I was a B.lister was packed.

    Only a few Sims come over, not the whole crew.

    You can only have so many Sims on one lot.

    How many do you expect ?

    @crinrict I always get my sim to go outside of the property and sometimes nobody turns up. Sometimes they do and you have to decide, is this a random townie or those that I invited? I just keep trying all interactions with all outside the lot and eventually I hear that ping that tells me they're making progress with the correct director or Co-star. But, should it be this difficult? today, one of my sims died just as actor sim invited over said directors and co-stars. He had to rush in and offer a death flower so I missed it! Going to invite them again at a daytime hour. Phew! BTW we are level 10 Silverscreen Icons. (if that helps). 🙂
