Is it possible to make mistakes on the stage with the sim in acting skill 10?

Hi, I'm currently away from the sims 4 for a while but I remember my sims made some mistake in sword fighting last year, and I'm still wondering what caused this mistake. It happened in 2 cases. I have 5 sims have completed acting skill, and 1 of them is an actor, silverscreen icon. You know that the acting marks can be unlocked when your sim is leveling up in career. I placed the sword fighting acting mark at the back garden at home lot. I had my 2 sims got in a sword fighting action. 5 of them were failed in acting. 2 of them completed 'actor' aspiration long time ago, but they also failed in sword fighting action. The sword stabbed my sim's foot. After that, a couple of days later, the actor sim went for a gig. And he failed in sword fighting again on stage. I'm still curious the sims have completed actor aspiration can make mistakes in acting..? They didn't make any mistake with other acting motion. Only the sword fighting was the problem.

How's his fitness? That's relevant in some acting gigs, so I can imagine it being a possible factor.

Most of the skills include fitness, charisma, handiness are all maxed.

I would say yes, that aspiration traits tells you that noone can be sure that this was a mistake, so you would still get the points, I guess.

I feel this is weird. I had a sim lived as an actor for a year in sims time. He has never failed in sword fighting gig. He became an actor when the get famous was released, and was an actor until 2019 in real time. And that actor sim failed in sword fighting 5 times in a row in back garden last year. Of course he changed his career to doctor after quitting the actor career. This was unbelievable. It’s acceptable if he failed just one or two times out of 5 tries, but he failed in 5 out of 5. I couldn’t believe my eyes who had been the greatest actor in his past life.
Since that time, he is just teaching the acting skill to his kids. I don’t let him in a sword fighting ever again.

Being in a terrible mood or very hungry/full bladder etc seems to affect my actors on stage. I can't say for sure that it will affect a sim rated 10 though.

I had a clumsy Sim as an actor, and he would occasionally fail objectives even with maxed acting, fitness, and charisma.

No he is a vampire and always get plasma from his friends, so no way to have bad moodlets.

My sim's traits are Creative, Genius and Music Lover. He has maxed in over 18 skills and has 13 degrees.

I saw your answer just right now, sorry. I don't wonder, when I was young my mom went with me to a series production for background scenes, surprisingly they even let my thank you stayed in. The mistakes of that scene had given me 3 cups of ice cream for free. A lot of mistakes can happen even to a great actor, so that the scene has to retake again and again. Think of the funny outtakes. Unfortunately the game mechanics don't allow a new try when something has failed.
