[GF] Sims Sit on Ground/stand around at Starlight Accolades

This is quite an old but annoying bug that has been happening for years, I no longer send my sims to the awards ceremony unless they need an award as part of their aspiration because it's so frustrating. The host stands around doing nothing and the sims are all constantly playing musical chairs so even if my sim is up for an award so much time is wasted they often go home with out it which is really annoying. 

I play on a windows laptop, all expansions/kits etc, patched to latest update with zero mods or cc ever.

Merged threads.

Hi! Same for me and worst, the event is there, traveling to the studio but there is simply no host for the event :( i dont know what to do... 

I've gone through many iterations of the Starlight Awards lot.  It makes no difference if you have a raised stage or not. Mods/CC no mods/CC. no difference. It's always chaotic. 

I've rearranged the seating. Chairs. No chairs. Makes no difference. They will sit where they sit. Or not.

My Sim arrived at the Awards at 11:46 AM. She autonomously sat and "watched" the microphone. Shortly joined by other Sims. She was allowed to act autonomously the entire time she was on this lot up until the Starlight Awards Ceremony ended and I sent her home.

She spent the day "watching" the microphone. Things started to pick up about 3:30 PM.

8:32 PM Still watching the microphone, but the ceremony is underway.

10:07 PM. My Sim finally got her Award. Yay!

Having two microphones helps - a bit - with the chaos. There's always a microphone available for the Host and the Winner. 

For the most part, I think the ceremony goes as intended, it's just the sitting/not sitting/floor sitting that makes it seem chaotic. All that moving about induces anxiety, but if the Sims were all to sit perfectly still for the entire ceremony, it might also seem odd. 🤷‍♀️

It would be nice if they wouldn't sit on the floor, though.
