Celebrities are really getting on my nerves.

Where the lots that don't have Celebrity Home,Hottest Spot in Town or Up-and-Coming Hotspot lot traits, NPC celebrities should visit with disguise like IRL.

That would probably be ideal.

I should include one more. The lot with social or scheduled events related celebrities, celebrities can appear without disguise.

I've noticed that new ones seldom spawn, so after the first generation dies out I've seen very few. But I rarely play the acting career & have removed all the celebrity lot traits, so that may be why.

I know that not everyone is comfortable using mods, but I found LittleMsSam's "Gender & More" custom lot trait incredibly helpful. With it you can choose to ban celebrities, fans and paparazzi from any lot and they won't show up there. You can also use it to ban pretty much any other type of sim, so you can really customize who autonomously goes to what lot. For example, if you want a teens only hang-out, you can ban all the other age groups.

Im going to piggyback off your suggestion and add that the Road to Fame mod has lot traits that keep celebrities away I believe. I played with it a few times but have been exploring a different storyline so my memory could be off

That's why they gave us RoM, to kick their plum. Jk, they don't really bother me that much, but it is in fact weird that they show up everywhere

IRL? Same.

LOL, I ain't ever seen a celebrity show up to the restaurants I go to in my little town.

In my game they are like rats, everywhere. They should be confined to Valley del Sol unless making a rare special appearance at some venue. Allied with this are the reactions to them. They are way over the top stupid, including 'attempt introduction'. I've met several genuine celebrities over the years, including Hollywood types, and what goes on is what one would expect - normal social interactions among normal people.

I'm glad you mentioned that. I don't know how many times a celebrity has knocked on my door and you can't even introduce yourself. On the rare occasion they will, but usually they will just read a book, eat your food, watch TV or hop on the computer. It's ridiculous. If they are visiting you at your home you should definitely be able to introduce yourself. So, I usually just let them stand at the front door until they leave. Is that good gaming? No, that doesn't even make sense. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this stuff is absurd.

Edit: I just wanted to add - I know it seems like I complain a lot, but it's because I really like this game. I mean, I've racked up like 6k hours in the game if that means anything. I just hate seeing nonsensical content added when I know they can create a more immersive experience. It wouldn't kill the game if it were a little more edgy either lol

Definitely agree. I actually disabled Get Famous for this very reason.

I'd probably do that if I didn't enjoy the acting career so much. It's pretty fun :)
