Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. This issue occurred after updating on November 10 to the Pre-Patch for Snowy Escape.
This appears to only affect new save files as no matter how many times you click the box and apply changes your sims fame system will show unknown and they will gain fame. However existing saves, while still showing the box unchecked do not gain fame and their fame panel reads "staying out of the spotlight". Re-checking the box and applying changes in existing saves also unchecks the box as mentioned but seems to keep the sims out of the spotlight instead of activating the fame system showing them as unknown.
