No of my sims gain any fame points for doing actions that say they give points. This has happened since the pack was installed initially about a week or so ago. In addition, my sim never get notification to go to her action gig and does not go and that has also been the case since I very fist got the pack.

    Yes. I didn’t have any mods installed when I first got this pack. It wasn’t working then and it doesn’t work with mods.

    @shell1400 Could you try a fresh save for testing purposes to see if it occurs there as well ?

    Does the celebrity bar not move at all or is it just the points itself that don't get added ? Do you see a + Fame points icon above their heads ?

    Have you tried with multiple Sims or just one ?

    I will look at it with a new save. The bar doesn't move and I don't see and + Fame points icon above their heads. It is with all sims that do fame activities.

    So I tested it with a new save and with the old one. I guess I didn't notice that the fame symbol is popping up after the sim completes the action to gain fame points, but it seems only on actions they complete on their own. For example they are supposed to get fame points for practicing singing, but I let them do it for a quite some time and they never got that symbol pop up. So the + Fame symbol is popping up sometime, but they are not actually gaining points when I check that. And it looks the bars are moving, my one sim I have done the most with Fame stuff has her bar filled in a little. I don't know...

    @crinrict Are the fame points supposed to show up on that menu as you acquire them? As I said, it looks like the reputation bar is moving quite a bit and the bar for known or unknown is also moving, but the fame points still say zero. When I click on the fame info, it says zero fame points still but the bar is getting filled up to get to notable newcomer.

    @shell1400 You dont' get actual points each time. The bar moves up to the next level and then you get points.

    I'm not entirely sure atm but I think you only get points each time you reach a new level.

    @crinrict It looks like that’s the case so it was user error lol. I just got the pack recently so I wasn’t sure. Thanks for your help! I’m glad to know at least that part of the pack is working right and I have downloaded the mod to help make gifs work until it gets fixed. Thanks again!
