Actor not famous?

I don’t remember practicing acting giving you fame points? It’s more so how well your sim does executing scenes at their gigs that determine whether or not they can get more famous. That and long experience? At least that’s what I think anyway. High skill in acting does help those gigs.

I was referring to Level 8 in the acting career. Not the acting skill

I've not played the acting career beyond one audition and one gig. But, it seems to me you may move up a ladder in a career, but that doesn't always make you good at what you're doing. Perhaps, a higher skill is required to earn fame? That would be my guess.

I found that making music, and painting comes in pretty handy. So does getting a camera, taking pictures then posting them to Instagram. In order to do this you have to take the photo out of inventory. I then sell the photos.

I'd say if you climb the career ladder, that will mean you're good. Posting photos on Instagram should be a nice extra, not a necessity to become famous. That's so not how it works. First someone becomes famous, then we become interested and only thén do we like to see more of them. When they already are famous. Take Benedict Cumberbatch. Pretty famous, not on social media ("I’d much rather spend my energy doing what brought me to their attention in the first place, which is my work.”)

I have played Get Famous courtesy of my friend. It was my experience after a considerable amount of time the quickest way to build fame is to become a blogger or youtuber. It will be almost necessary even if your sim is an actor which doesn’t feel realistic to me. There are plenty of famous people in their respective fields who don’t rely on social media to boost their fame.

I agree with this. I am currently playing to roommates. One is an actor and one is a blogger/youtuber. The Youtuber sim was gaining fame so much quicker than my actor. However, I will say the actor surpassed him at Level 4 now while the youtuber is still at Level 3 (but close to 4). But I attribute that to the acting gigs really helped.

Sure social media helps, but to say its "almost necessary" is dramatic. I have made several 4 or 5 star celebrities now without using social media or any of the influencer perks (because I hate them) and its not that bad at all.

Is your Sim an actor or another career? Just asking cause I am curious to know if you have a non-actor sim how they are gaining fame without social media.

I did one actor, but I also have a singer who is currently 4 stars and a comedian, as well as a painter. With the singer, I mostly got fame by performing in crowded areas. My painter got fame easily from making and selling paintings and my comedian did his routines in lounges. None of these 3 used social media, in fact I still have the option to create a profile on all of them.

And, they all interact with other celebrities too, which helped them get famous. They also went to charity benefits and used the PR agent. Also, the regular careers all offer two chances to gain bonus fame while you're playing in them. I had my comedian in the entertainment career and my painter in the painting one.

As I said it was my experience after 6/7 hours with the game.

Eventually, I want to do a gameplay with a famous doctor resembling "Dr. Mike" (If you don't know who that is, look up this hottie doctor on Instagram) I will have to do social media because I don't think there is anything within the doctor career that would gain him fame points. Am I wrong?
