NPC Fans

Anybody knows how the game generates the fans NPC & how to manage or control it?


Sometimes I got Nancy Landgraab as a fan. And I think a snob person like her won't be a fan of someone less rich than her

I hope we can manage only our selected Sims to be fans

    Any passing sim that are not themselves famous or at least introduced to the famous sim will be a fan.

  • @chesster_wammy There is not a set fan level in the game, most celeb sims are fans of their own family members when they are out and see them walk in the room and start whispering to strangers about celebs or their own famous family members and they are celebs their self, that's the part I wish they would fix.

    No family members will have fan interactions with celebs from the family. Other sims may start chatting with them and that can involve the celebrity. The only whisper there is in the game is the romantic interaction "Whisper Sweet nothings".

  • @jpkarlsen So you stated that it is totally random?

    Also, I see that the generated fans NPC have generated a specific fan behavior trait too

    For example touchy fans, etc

    Will the trait be gone later? or stay in the already generated fans NPC?

  • Fans are generated at random. 

    Fans won't be family members 

    Fans have the options to interact by asking for an autograph,  hug, take picture with,  take picture of,  attempt introduction and limited chat options

    If your Sim interacts with Fans by giving hugs there's a high chance they'll develop the no touching quirk. Celebrities, based on level,  with have up to 4 quirks based on interaction with Fans or with food types, etc

    The quirk no touching will cause your Sim to decline random fan hugs but can also effect more personal relationships.  

    You can't stop Fans from asking for hugs or trying to hug unless they have the no touching quirk,  in which case they'll decline being touched.  

    Edit- fans who are generated at random won't always be the same.  I had a Stan quirk which is a super fan and they'll show up at your house.  My Stan was rarely the same to include mortimer goth as well as random npcs. So the trait or interaction of npc fans can change or go away or return.  It's really more like it's just assigned to whoever is spawning in at random.

    Yes, it is random. If you later play one you will see that the traits you mention disappear if they have made a successful introduction or the celeb have introduced herself. They are generated when they meet a celeb that outranks them.
