Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.47.49What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure What happens when the bug occurs? A certain sim i cheated to the max fame keeps losing his fame shine whenever i change households and come back or invite him in... i have to debug or on off the shine to make it workWhat do you expect to see? I want him to maintain his shine... Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure I need help with this can someone suggest a fix? Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Tag

Just wanted to say I have the same problem aswell, with an Sim that got fame without cheating, I can activate the fame shine and it's active but as soon as I switch lots my sim lost the fame shine but it still shows deactivate fame shine, like the shine should still be showing and it isn't

This was happening in my game a few days ago as well. I can’t figure out what causes it to disappear, but I did find a temporary solution. Even though it’s not appearing and the game acts as if it is, if you click on the sim and select “turn off fame shine” then select “turn on fame shine” afterwards, it should bring it back. Although, it may go away eventually again and you’ll have to do the same thing once more to get it to reappear. Also, from what I can tell, it doesn’t appear to be related to the sim, the way they obtained fame, or their quirks. This glitch affected two different sims of mine: one I had cheated fame for, and one I had played through to obtain it. Both had entirely different quirks, as well.

Apparently it happens everytime i move lots

You mean if you switch to another active family and back or if you move your Sim to a new lot or both ?

Both apparently, changing active sims makes him lose the shine and also making him move through lots makes him lose it.I tried removing his fame and then putting it back afterwards... it maintained for a while then started happening again. also removed my script mods to see if it was conflicting and still no dice. Is there anything i can type or a trait i can remove or something??

Don't know if it's a general bug or happens cause you used the cheat.

If it's a general bug, there's probably not much you can do to prevent it.

if it's a cheat error what can i do?? can i replace the sim??? like the exact sim?

You can try making him step out of fame. That should remove the fame .. then go back up regularly.

You need to cleanse the points first through the phone.

Hopefully others can chime in here until I find time to test this.

What do you mean by removing the points through the phone?

You need to do a celebrity cleanse first (computer or phone) but that will only get rid of the fame perks you already bought.

After that you need to go to the fame points panel and quite the spotlight there (for me it's greyed out cause I still have perks)

It could be a real issue. Haven't gotten around to test this.

Let's see if others chime in until I can test.
