Sims Session Summer Festival won't working for my current save game.

I don't know why this is happening, but unfortunately I'm not able to participate in the musical show that was supposed to take place after the last update. The festival takes place on Sundays from 12 PM to 0:00 AM but even at this time in my current save, I don't get any festival notifications nor a ticket. I had the idea to visit Magnolia Blossom Park to see if I could find anything, and apparently nothing did either. I'm currently playing on Origin 64-bit version 1.76.81.1020 and I only use MC Commad Center and UI Extra Cheats. Before I was recommended to remove mods, I created a new game with all my mods and I still get notification and event ticket. This is only happening in my current save. Funny thing is, I still see the event icon on Manage Worlds, but still nothing happens in Simulation Mode. Could someone help me in this regard?

    @XXMythLuan What day was after the patch ? You might need to wait another week fi you didn't get a ticket. I think you should get a ticket on Friday or Saturday so if you didn't get one, try playing till the next friday and see if it then works.

    @crinrict @It was exactly Sunday afternoon, 15 PM and still I didn't receive any message. I even skipped the days with the help of UI Extra Cheats because it would be too long to wait a week

    @XXMythLuan 

    It looks like you never got the ticket because you skipped the day where they are sent to your sim.

    @jpkarlsen I actually skipped the day from Monday. I was waiting the entire Sunday inside the game and still I didn't receive anything. Does the game restrict this festival to old saves? Can I leave my save attached here in this post for you guys to look at?

    @XXMythLuan I would just play the entire week and see if it occurs.

    From the notes:

    Once Simmers load their game today (after updating the game of course) your Sims will get a message telling them about Sims Sessions (this will happen on in game Sunday in a new Save, but if you are not in a new save you will need to wait for it to be Sunday in your game after the Game Update), they will also receive a ticket in their inventory that they can view for more information and they will be able to travel to the location of the festival.

    So, since it was sunday in your game already, the festival didn't trigger. Just play till the following sunday (without skipping any days) and see if it occurs.

    @XXMythLuan My current save didn't get any tickets either, but I found a work-around. Are you familiar with the Debug-cheat? If you open the cheat console and write in bb.showhiddenobjects, search in buy/build mode for "ticket" and the Sims sessions tickets will be available to buy! They cost 200 simoleons, and are placeable on walls. I dragged the tickets in live-mode to the sims inventory, and travelled to the festival at 12PM Sunday. Everything seems to spawn as intended. Hope this helps!

    @crinrict I just tested it here in my game: I waited a week until it reached noon on Sunday, but unfortunately the event didn't happen! I didn't receive any notifications or even a ticket to participate! I went to the park to see if something had spawned, and nothing, it's still empty! Unfortunately it didn't work out and I think the event is broken in my current save, which I think is terrible since it seems that only I have this problem! Will Maxis fix this? Most likely not, but I wanted to be able to participate in this event without having to start the entire game from scratch!!

    @MintyFreshSims Your idea is great, because I had already thought about this possibility but unfortunately it didn't work either! Even getting the ticket through debug mode, the event still doesn't happen even being on Sunday at the right time! The only options that appeared to me were the tutorials of the event, information about the singers and the event itself, and the possibility of traveling to the place, but nothing happens. Magnolia Park remains empty and without the presence of the event. Looks like the festival broke in my save!

    @XXMythLuan Would you mind sending me your save ? Instructions in my signature ?

    Won't have time tonight but I'll check tomorrow.

    @XXMythLuan Thanks for the save. I'm not 100% sure if you sent me the correct one. There was only one active household of a Sim that was in an enraged mood and there was no house on the lot. Since the Sim died pretty soon of rage, I just tried a random Sim in your save.

    While he didn't get a ticket, the session started correctly on sunday and I got a pop-up

    Few questions as I had a cc removed message

    - Did you test on a mod/cc less game ?
    - Which packs do you have ? Maybe it's a pack issue
    - Was that the correct save ?
