[LLQE] Royal Enovy does not arrive at Magnolia Park/Not winning chess

For me, she showed up at Magnolia Park but my sim was called to work before she could play chess. When I returned to the park again the Envoy would not show up and I couldn't invite her to the lot. I tried a new save and she wasn't even in the world for that save file.

I have now managed to get it to work. I went back into the save file that I was playing the quests on. I went to the park then returned home, invited the Envoy to my home lot, added a chess table and it allowed me to challenge her there rather than the park.

I hope this will work for others.

Not sure if I accidentally found a workaround, but meeting the envoy at Pupperstone Park in Brindleton Bay worked for me (I never tried Magnolia as it didn't specify which park). I'm also on Mac

Soooo, i have a workaround. I was able to go to the townie spawn point and call her to the lot. When I selected play with it showed her responding with the blocked path bubble, so I enabled testing cheats and then selected her and the reset object option. I was then able to get her to go to the chess table to play.

Edit: She didn't stay to play chess, but she was able to move past whatever was blocking her

She only appeared on my own LOT when i called her - then again deleted the 50x50 lot in willow creek and replaced it with Magnolia Blossom park - waited and waited, clicked on the chess table to "play with.." but she never showed up. Clicked on my sim to "invite emissary over to lot" - she never showed up. Did this many times when my sim was in the park from 6am to 10pm - chatted her on the phone - apparently she showed up in onother event "hang out with friends" but never showed up at the park... why is that???? I am on mac have no cc 

#updated: I quit the game and restarted it - this time travelled to the park (make sure you find the point of entry) - after calling the envoy over (click on your sim to call the envoy) - go to the entry point of the park (where townie sims appear and disappear) and there is the envoy. Pause the game and quickly start chatting with her. Pause again and take her to a chess table. My sim's logic level is 5 and my sim won and a new quest is gained

#Note: next quest was municipal muses - i put it the original municipal muses on a 40x30 lot in willow creek - it did not work - it never detected that my sim travelled to municipal muses even though it was the maxis version - so you HAVE TO PLACE the original municipal muses museum (maxis) on the EXACT LOT it was originally built - so i had to bulldoze my edited lot to replace it with maxis on the particular lot - only then the quest progressed.

I am having the same exact problem. There was a confusion at first because she wasn't there when I started playing. Then I switched tables when she appeared. At first they seemed to be playing but there was no chess piece interaction nor logic or anything. Finally, hours later after nothing happened, and my needs practically depleted, I went back home.

Since then, every time I have tried to return and even call her to the lot at the park, she never appears! I need to finalise this sole task to move on! Lastly, I tried to save the game, exit, and return another day (human day), but it continues to act the same way. I don't want to create a new game because my current sim is so amazing already! Please help fix!

Ditto :/

Also stuck here at The Pirate Princess - Win a Chess Match against the Royal Envoy quest.
For me the issue started because the envoy showed up at a different park (not Magnolia Blossom) which was right next to my Sims' house. Now that I wanted to go play chess she was nowhere to be found, so I traveled to Magnolia Blossom, but the Envoy is not there. I waited a while, traveled back home and to the park again a few times. Checked homes in other worlds, didn't see her, tried other saves, nothing.
I also have the Envoy in contact list of one of my characters, but I can't invite her to current lot.

Have same on xbox 

I've tried all of the solutions out there and none of them work. The workaround I used was to buy a chessboard and set it up on my lot and the Envoy came over, played for about 90 seconds, lost, got ticked off and left.  I put the chessboard in my inventory and proceeded to the next quest.  It was a waste of 450 simoleons, but my sim is a bestselling author, so I wrote a book to make up for the cost.  Shouldn't have had to go through the waste of time or resources but it DID resolve the problem.  So uh... how about adding the 450 back to my account, EA?  If not for your buggy game, I wouldn't be here further wasting more of my time.
