Most of the time for me it kicks off the event as
I enter but once I had to wait until it popped. Keep pressing the wait button as it will pop. I still haven't got a call from Sam to kick off an event though that you can get after her wedding. So your game might be bugged. Also i can't get a load screen only a save screen on my game. Qload only loads just one save and it is never the current one. Might need to reload my own.
