Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Not certain, this is the first occurrence
What is your current game version number? 1.50.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I'm only missing bowling, backyard, kitchen, patio, and luxury stuff packs.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This bug occurs when a Sim is chosen for a starlight accolade award.
What happens when the bug occurs? When the sim is chosen to receive their Starlight Accolades award there will be an icon to accept the award for a second but disappears soon after, so the sim doesn't accept/receive the award. This makes it so you can't progress in the actor's lifetime achievement since the award doesn't show up in the household inventory even though the notification wall says it will be there.*
What do you expect to see? Sims should be able to accept their award so they can progress in the lifetime achievement as well as display their awards within their houses.*
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Not that I'm aware of
Hello! I also have this problem! I came up, tried to accept it on the microphone, and it showed for only a few seconds before it disappeared. I tried accepting it in between when the host spoke, and that didn't work. I also tried debugging the objects, the host, and myself. I saved and excited to the main menu, and then I also purchased another microphone. I am not sure what else to do to help me get my award. I am hesitant to head home to see if the award is in my inventory, but I have noticed that my aspiration is still marked as incomplete so I don't think it will work.
Also, for your benefit, I pushed the "me too" button on the original post. I am mostly giving this information for the debuggers so that they can know what to work with, seeing as I'll probably cheat to get the aspiration. I do wish that I could accept the award though. Anyways, good luck friendos!

I just ran into this bug, so it's definitely still a thing. HOWEVER, the suggested addition of a second mic at the ceremony DOES fix the problem. Now if I could just get the last two hours of constant reloads trying to make it work back...

I find that the award host comes back to the mic too fast for my sims to accept, but I wait until another sim accepts, then try to accept again. I doesn't always work. Also I've started taking my sims to the award with autonomy off so that they won't be so chatty and involved with one another. I like the idea of trying.a second mic, I'll give that a go for sure. I've been able to click accept on the mic after another sim has accepted theirs, so it's all hit and miss, but I'm working around it and with the second mic idea, this might help me a lot! Thanks guys!

Yay! I not only added more mics but more chairs and better quality bar, better floors and decor. My sims got 4 awards this week! Yay! Now placed my award winning actors tiles in starlight boulevard at last! It also helps if you have autonomy off at ceremonies so you can control your sims better. Cheers all!

This bug is SO AGGRAVATING!!! I waited and went every single Sunday, finally won the award after many attemps, and wasn't able to accept it due to people chatting with me and hogging the microphone. What a letdown.
