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

Same here. New game, played chess but never completed the quest, so I guess I never won. Now she is just gone. Not showing up in the friends panel and never shows back up at the park.

I’ve tried everything and Marina the Royal Envoy won’t show up at Magnolia Park to play chess. She showed up one time but then my sim had to leave to fulfill needs, and now the Royal Envoy won’t show up at all. I’ve tried reloading the game, calling envoy to current lot, leaving the park and fast traveling back. No matter what I do she won’t show up now. 

2/20/26 Also having the same issue. I have tried all suggestions in the comments here without success. Marina does not show up in my social network so I cannot summon her. I am on PC, the envoy does not reside in a  new house and this issue seems to be happening no matter the save.

Thank you.

I had my sim complete practicing chess at the park in oasis springs and the emissary showed up there. When they played the game seemed to continually reset, making it impossible to complete the task. When I tried to invite the emissary to magnolia park the next day she would not show up there.

However, I did try open a new save and in that one I invited the emissary to my sim´s home lot and had them play chess there and that worked to check off the assignment.

here what i did to make it work travel from another world not willow creek have the royal envoy invited to go with you and chose Magnolia Park on the map

Having the same issue!

As my comment was merged with this thread, I would like to reiterate my problem effects even home lots with the "Summon Emissary" function, it did it on day 1 and it did it again in Mangolia Park...it seems to me that there are several separate but similar bugs that need addressing, in this thread. Both times I found workarounds that involved being patient and reloading lots (day 1 by changing households to a nonoccult (was trying to do the event with a fairy), and Mangolia park by traveling to/from the park several times, only to find her on the border outside the screenspace. Both times Summon never did properly summon her, but I found her roaming off-lot in the neighborehood instead.)

I just tried again today to summon the envoy because she's still not showing up for me at all and I tried everything recommended again and in a new save but she won't show up at all now and when I try to summon her it always says sim not found. I have no mods and I'm doing this on a windows 11 computer if that helps any. 

She wouldn't come to Magnolia Park for me either.  I called her to my home lot and she played chess with me there.  The objective completed even though we weren't at the park.

I had the exact same experience as spanz12 - I went to the park (at night because I was playing a vampire sim), the envoy appeared, I played chess with her for ages (with 10 logic + focused) and the objective never completed even though the board kept getting reset. The sun came out so I had to have my sim leave and come back when it was dark again, but now the envoy won’t appear on the lot again, in this or any other of my saves (which is usually how I solve any blockers). The envoy has not moved into a house in any of the 3 saves I tried. I tried creating a new save, and the envoy doesn’t spawn in households at all after waiting a full day.

ETA: After trying the new save, I was able to call the envoy over to my sim’s house on the very first save I tried it on and suddenly beating her at chess at my sim’s house took 20 sim minutes and finally progressed the quest. This notably did NOT work yesterday, so I don’t know what changed. I also have no idea if it’s supposed to work on the home lot, but give it a shot if you can get her to show up, I guess.
