Is It The Mod, Or Fate?

GalacticGal

I have the Road to Fame Mod in my game. I have a potential star that will be a singing sensation, (if I get my way). He's already doing very well with the Simstagraham account, having over one million followers. He's advertised on his account, twice, for §2500 each.
However, since I desire to establish him as a singer, I took him to a Karaoke Lounge. Happily, there was a contest. After the Sim who was singing finished, I clicked on the Karaoke machine and selected which song I wanted him to sing. He never made it. Others kept taking control of the machine. Next thing I know there's a pop-up suggesting nobody had entered the contest. Face/palm. Is it the Mod interfering somehow, or just fate?

Please, and thank you, in advance.
