How do I gain more fame points after becoming a global celebrity?

I know I’m late but I only recently was able to play the get famous pack and one of my sims has become a global celebrity. I have spent all my fame points but there’s slots left however I’m assuming that you only gain them when progressing to become a global celebrity unless you can gain fame points in other ways that I don’t know of. Not sure if the pack has issues or not with this but I am curious as I don’t want to cheat my fame points. But if there’s no other way I will just cheat them lol

gameplay issue

@e12na Hello! You are correct that fame points are only gained at each level upgrade; 1 star = 1 point, 2 stars = 2 points, 3 stars = 2 points, 4 stars = 2 points, 5 stars = 3 points. That's a total of 10 fame points. You can get one extra point by completing the World Famous Celebrity aspiration. Personally, I think we should be able to gain points from performing "fame" tasks. I think it's similar to spellcaster sims getting extra talent points from doing magic. That's how I justify cheating extra points to unlock the other fame perks. :-)

Hi! Thanks for replying, I understand now. I agree we should be able to gain points from doing certain tasks but thank you for the aspiration tip, all i need to do is a fan meet i’m pretty sure. Then i’ll just cheat the other perks haha

@e12na You're welcome! I say go for it! lol I am certainly not opposed to using cheats, especially when there are seemingly illogical gameplay restrictions. Happy Simming! :-)

@e12na Hello again! A friend shared an alternative to cheats for the fame points and I thought I'd share it. If you allow your sim to lose fame (i.e. don't let your sim perform fame tasks for a while and they will lose a star), they do not lose any fame points. After downgrading a level, choose fame tasks again and when your sim regains the fame level, they will get more points. This only works if the sim has not completed the World Famous Celebrity aspiration though. (Edited to say I forgot to mention that if a sim completes the Celebrity aspiration, they get the Unstoppable Fame reward which means they won't lose fame, so be sure to get all the fame points you want before completing that aspiration.) One thing to note is that it can take a while for the fame to drop a level and then to build it back to the next level again. As I told my friend, I don't have the patience for that. lol However, it's a nice workaround if you (or anyone else who might find this thread) would prefer not to use a cheat.
