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. 😉
