The royal envoy does not arrive at magnolia park to play chess. She does not arrive by herself and when I try to summon her she does not come. I can call her to my home lot but she will not play chess there.

Did you invite her over or travel with her ?
I was doing the current limited event. Now on the quest Pirat Princess. I was going to play chess with the royal lady but no one won the match it took forever. My sim had to leave to lot, but once I came back to finish the quest the lady was gone. I tried on other Households and other saves but she didn’t show up. Therefore my progress in the event has stopped.
Sooo, I've had the same exact issue as everyone else. Marina is a sneaky little bug. --- I finally got her though.
Someone said that they got her to come to their home lot and played chess there, causing the event we've all been stuck on, to finally take off again.
Well, at a loss, I did that. Got myself a shiny, new chess board, some semi comfy chairs, and set up my sim with logic 10 to be her opponent.
Safe to say, my girl won.
As a safety precaution, I added her to my family. Just in case she tried to escape again. Turns out, she didn't run like she tends to do after completing all of what she usually does.
So I released her to the wild and the event has continued just fine like nothing ever kept people stuck since this event started. :p
Proof it worked.. Apparently she likes my house over being at the park. Typical, right? xD Hope it works for everyone else struggling with this rascally lady.
(P.S. It also happened like right away. So it's likely that she prefers people's houses to the parks.)
(P.S.S. Just a thought.. She likes the library too. Someone could go there with a chess set and call her there, maybe see if she will appear. Who knows, right? :p)
I am at the part of the event quest where you have to win a chess match against the envoy.
When I go to the park the envoy does not spawn.
I tried calling her to the lot and she does not show up.
I tried creating a new game and she is still not showing up.
I do NOT use mods or CC. This is so unfair that the game is so broken because I really want to complete the event and the game is literally not letting me and therefore, I cannot receive the free items.
I am currently uninstalling and reinstalling the game.. if it works, I will post an update
uninstalling/reinstalling does not work. still broken.

As the title says, I won the chess match against the royal envoy, but the task did not validate. When going in the UI the rewards were available but nothing happened when pressing the buttons.
I saved and restarted the game, but it was way worth as I couldn't even open the UI (screenshot). I restarted the game once or twice before being able to open it again. BUT when I was about to get the reward, they already were reclaimed. I looked in my sims' inventory and in the family inventory : nothing.
Now the royal envoy does not show up in the park, I can't play against her and I can't call her to come. I started a new save : same issue. I repaired the game : same issue with both saves.
It's okay if I don't get these rewards, but I'd like to continue the quests to get the others, and I'm blocked.
All of my mods and CC are removed, and I play with the last version of the game.
This happened to me! She never showed up even the first time and I’ve tried everything I can think of
this happened to me too, so frustrating!! i found a workaround that hopefully works for others:
- i went to a different lot and called the envoy to lot with the self-interaction
- i added envoy to family using testingcheats
- i went back to the park, then brought over the envoy
- i then played chess with the envoy and it completed the task, so i removed her from family
hope this helps others, took me so long to try and make it work. very annoying.
