There you go. I also rewrote the system to use the Showtime service Sims you can hire for parties. If you ever have another one where no one shows up, EA rained on your parade, not Register.

Thank you so much, Chain_Reaction.

Just a quick feedback: yesterday I started a fresh game in Starlight Shores (yes, I am that bored to dare this again) and in week one I had one successful Simfest at the Park and another Magic Show at the coffeehouse. No Sims stuck and no empty stage. My own Sim couldn't participate but at least this is something I haven't seen for quite some time.

Thanks I was wondering how this worked out. Is there a reason they couldn't participate or is that broke still?

Haha, no, sorry, that was worded awkwardly. My Sim simply didn't qualify for participation; he was just audience.
