@Coelrus When Sims with a celebrity status of three or higher are trying for a baby. The toddler or child can get a celebrity point and even gain a level 1 ranking on the celebrity scale. So that is probably where the first point comes from.
Most of the times they lose this status and so, the point and if you had chosen a perk, returns. This is because the level 1 status is hard to remain for children. They need charisma skills to be able to get to social media on the telephone or computer and the activities they have acces to aren't fame/status enhancing yet. Although you could have them simstagram their pets to keep the level up, the time they would have to spend on it is enormous. As soon as your Sims become teenagers and are able to do creative tasks like painting and writing they can gain fame point with that and get a higher celebrity status.
So, for your Sim this high number of points (three) could be a glitch. When you can reproduce it with other Sims it might be a loophole, as you call it. But it should not be occurring in Sims that haven't reached level 2 yet and aren't children of celebrity parents.
I guess you will have to try it before you can be sure.
Have fun paying. 😉
Both of my characters are first generation sims therefore they were never born. And they certainly weren't born celebrities. Nice try coming up with an alternative explanation though.
I had another thought on how the loophole came about. I play multiple households which I occasionally switch between. Could that have prefented the game from "remembering they were already celebrities" if I switched households Inbetween celebrity on and offs?
There will probably be no explanation as for why your Sim ended up with the celebrity points you found. My explanation had nothing to do with trying. This is quite a common occurrence, and it might have happend in your game too. When you play multiple households in a rotational setup it can happen that some of the Sims will appear to be celebrities while in fact they are not. I have seen five stars celebrity foxes in Cottage Living and I am sure these are glitches.
There are as far as I have seen no loopholes that will enable you to gain celebrity status or points other than using cheats and mods. And because you play on a console there a is no way it could be mods so you are left with cheats or glitches.
Have fun playing. 😉
