Starlight acculode

Whenever, I go to the starlight acculode, there always seems to be more sims that go to the rewards than what is in the lots of del sol valley. Anyways the stupid host keeps picking the same sims over and over again. My sim is a global superstar and has prestine fame and no matter when I go there the game just ignores me.
What can you win a starlight acculode for. I just want at least 1 before my sim dies. How are you nominated?

I always go, but I use it as an excuse to shmooze with the other famous sims since there's 0% chance of winning, even when nominated.
I don't think that's an accolade. You get a trophy very similar to it when you host a successful meet-and-greet. Sims almost never get accolades. It's pretty much broken.
This is weird.
One thing is that I don't want a bunch of "who do you think you are?" so-called "famous" rando Sims, so I would cheat to lower their status, since I couldn't remove it. I also might've deleted some premade famous Sims, not sure. (When I played GF, the mod to reduce Sim creation was broken, but I tried to combat that.) MAYBE my game did have less competition than most vanilla players?? (Although I made some of my own famous Sims, though they didn't have experience, and my Sim did have a little, more than anyone else, just because she's the one I played, though only for a Sim week.)
Or perhaps charisma is a huge key factor???
Or because I only played ONE Sim as an actor, so maybe the game favored her?
Or it was random. Though I wanted it to be more difficult, and felt disappointed, so I wouldn't say I'm lucky.

EA, fix the EA app & CAW EIG!
i've seen similar with the media production skill, too. and then there are the random 'weird' accolades that don't appear to need a nomination or skill for a sim to win (the tight pants one, the 'being good' one (where a sim really doesn't have to be good, considering thorne bailey won it once in my game) and such)
unless i've got something specific planned, i tend to send whatever sim i'm playing at the time to the accolades, just to see who gets nominated... that is, if i notice it's accolade time. get some interesting winners that way, esp if the played sim doesn't have anything you expect would lead to an award. and, if one of my played sims from another household wins an award, i'll consider cheating that into their household when i swing back over to them. sometimes the idea fits, sometimes not
also, for those 'who do you think you are?' created sims, i've deleted a few, myself, and briefly played others to give them actual reasons to be famous (like i turned one into a level 8 or so tech guru, maxed a few skills. or made another an astronaut, another a famous chef with maxed cooking/gourmet cooking and so on). it feels more believable to me, that way
i've also done the reverse, with adding fame to existing townies that i felt it fit. like a high level politician or the townie i basically had turned into diana ross
I wrote a mod that guarantees nominations. I got three nominations, two for acting gigs, and one for a book. I still didn't win anything.
One of the award ceremonies, noone won because every 30 seconds a new famous sim arrived and the entire ceremony stopped as everyone just HAD to greet them. Took over a game hour before the host restarted and a few seconds later, a new famous sim walked in, another hour... etc.
The entire system is completely borked. So, don't play Get Famous expecting to get awards, because you won't.
Maybe instead I'll see if I can remove that "freak-out" everyone does with famous sims.
Thanks! I attended only once, more like a test than a personal achievement. I didn't pay much attention to either of the GF events yet, better get started
My travel video guy got nominated for his first or second video and won - afterwards never again.
My actress won early in her career, I don't remember whether she had gotten nominated beforehand or not. Never again after that.
My pianist got nominated after licensing her first song and won three awards during a single ceremony. But that was it. Never again.
(Just joking. The painter, the photographer and the male actor are low on the fame ladder, too, so by my "logic" they should have won already, but didn't.)
i have a habit of sending certain sims to the ceremony if i'm playing them at the time it starts, whether they've been nominated or not. there are usually about 11 awards given out (it helps to have multiple mics onstage so the announcer can keep announcing even while the recipients go onstage to accept) and, since the awards are always given to whatever sims happen to be on the lot, the ones i'm playing that weren't nominated will sometimes win something
I'm already taking along other famous sims to nudge the game to pick them, but I didn't know about the microphone trick. Will definitely try it out! I think I had never more than six or seven winners per ceremony. Four more chances will help a lot.
