Can you become unfamous?

Apparently your fame can decay, not sure how quickly but there is a reward for the new aspiration to stop your fame from decaying.

oh that is amazing! lol Then it's really quite realistic.

I've noticed that at early levels you have to do at least one fame boosting thing a day to stop from slipping down the fame ladder. Haven't gotten further than the second level of fame yet though.

Is it a lot of hard work to achieve more Fame and move up the Fame ranks and get points?

Yes, you can cleanse your fame. I do believe thats what it does

Yes it does :( My sim got gold at one of his gigs and one fame point. He got his perk and after a while a quirk. But erm ... I guess Frederik hasn't really put in the effort he should've cause he lost his fame again (+ perk and quirk). Back to square (or star) one. Guess he'll have to start working at it a bit more :D But I love it, coz you could definitely create a struggling actor with this EP.

this sounds so good. I'm not into fame generally but this makes me want to have a famous sim.

I think it can be? Mostly you only get points from random events from what I can tell, though I did adopt a baby and when it arrived it had a fame point (though by the time she aged up to toddler it was gone)

Sims can also gain fame from skills -- I have a painter Sim and he gains a little bit of fame when he sells a painting. His fiancee (I really need to get them married soon, they've got three kids already) is a stylist, but gained some fame by writing books (she even got an award for writing). I've heard that babies having fame is a bug.

One of my sims completed actor aspiration and celebrity aspiration too. He was ok with his 5 star level when he was single because I usually hang around all over town. But after the marriage, he suddenly got triple twins daughters and he had to be stuck at home for a week, then I got an alert his fame is fading away... So I think it's still decaying even though he completed both aspirations. If you want to live just as a normal citizen, then you can stop it in game option. Then your sim will be safe.

As far as Fame and how it deteriorates, Fame ranks can only go down as far as two levels from when you were before, and not even reaching 5 stars makes you safe from Fame decay either unless you completed the aspiration that gives you a reward trait that stops decay permanently. So if you have a 5-star celeb and you neglect keeping up their Fame, they could only end up dropping down to 3 stars and nothing further.
