My sim keeps losing her Celebrity stars?-issued fixed-

That's the way it's supposed to work by default. The different celebrity levels all depreciate at different rates, Level 5 the fastest. You don't get to stay famous by not working at it constantly.

NRaas > SP > General Options > Options:Friendship > Options:Celebrity > Celebrity Points:Depreciation and set the rates much lower. The defaults are 50/50/25/25/50/100 (try 1s or maybe 0s).
(SP Relationship add-on module required)

@igazor
Yeah, that makes sense.But unfortunately, my game isn't rolling out opportunities, and the ones that it does, don't reward celeb points, and my world lacks celeb sims for some reason.

Can't you use MasterController to randomly set some sims in town to Celeb Level 1 just to get things started?

I didn't think about doing that.Good idea.XD

If you want to disable celebrity depreciation entirely, just set all the levels to 0. Then you might actually see some other celebrities around. They're probably losing their points too fast to get any stars. In my current game, I have depreciation disabled, because my sims live in a rural, small town world, like I do in real life, and where I live, everybody knows everybody else's business, and it's pretty much once a celebrity, always a celebrity.

"Not a lot of people know this, but I am actually very famous." :p
--...could have been Peter Sellers or Benny Hill who said this, it's also possible I've made it up and just thought one of them did

@igazor That quote actually sounds kind of familiar, so I don't think you're just imagining it.

@igazor LOL! I googled but can’t find that quote, it must be yours? I love it :D

I had no idea they can lose stars..? I don’t think it ever happened to my sims, even when I desperately wanted them to (back in the day when paparazzi were an annoying and unavoidable nuisance in the game).

ETA: “Once Sims gain celebrity status, it won't decrease or be lost, thus Sims will permanently become a celebrity unless a cheat is used and the star count is set to zero.” Could it be a mod causing it?

ETA2: never mind me *blush*, it is a mod then (SP) :mrgreen:

That's what I was thinking as well.Though they seem to be sticking in bridgeport, I went there just to see.I love small rural worlds.I used to live in a town where we only had 1 gas station and we were about an hour from the grocery store lol.

The thing about celeb depreciation, even with SP in play and on defaults, is that if you already have more than one celeb in a household or if any of your sims' friends and co-workers are, then celeb points and thus star levels can be maintained and increased at least somewhat just by having them talk to and interact with each other as they might do on a regular basis anyway. At least until Levels 4 or 5, by the time you get up there more effort might be required to maintain things.

If your sim is a loner (not the trait, I mean they really do keep to themselves) or if they are surrounded by others but never interact with them socially then this might become trickier.

@JoAnne65 - I couldn't find the quote either even though it seems so familiar to some of us. But in my imagination it would have been followed by something like "A legend in their own mind." Not that there's anything wrong with small towns and local celebrities of course, I'm referring to others who might be bordering on what some might call delusional depending on how one looks at things. ;)
