Re: A way to gain extra fame points without cheating?

@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. 😉
