Did anyone see Thorne Bailey lose fame?

The preset story indicates a media scandal and that some of his fans might turn to Octavia. So it got me thinking; did anyone allow Thorne to lose some fame?

I think he basically behaves as if he was a global star, showing up so often to poser and get fans faint. I was a tad surprised when I figured what his fame was based on. Other famous sims (4 stars) do not behave like him, so I wonder if he will continue to do this even if he lose one or two fame stars? Would feel sorry for the guy if he had only 2 stars and still showed up like he always did :)

Btw, Octavia is famous for writing books, which leads to the need of literature venues. The Willow Creek library is the only pre-made arena I can think of that would suit as a literature arena. But you probably built new places. So, where do your Authors introduce new books and meet fans? And, wouldn't it be cool if Authors could actually read from their books in front of a small group? :)

  • Thorne likes to invade my now Rising Star's space, sucking all of the oxygen right out of the room. He'll often play the guitar, (and screech — I mean sing) even when my Sim is busy Singing for Tips, trying to fill in that bar to the next star. I've got some news for Thorne. His singing is worse than somebody stepping on a cat! Thorne, stand away from the guitar! The noise is intolerable. As far as I'm concerned the Sim is a wannabe. He does have the status of Proper Celebrity, but I have no clue what his true talent is.

    It would be great for some Book-signing promotion tours, too.

    Hehe, I never really paid attention to his singing skills. Maybe he is programmed to behave like he does? I mean, no other stars are taking all that space as he does, and his traits are not that outgoing: Music lover, Self-assured, Active. I don't think those traits given to another sim would make them behave like Thorne... I might let his stardom fade, just to check if he will stay away...
  • All I can say is he is annoying. Trying to go out on a date.. No chance! Thorne will walk in crash the date sending your date to run after him or pass out :D :s
  • One day I got so fed up with him literally stalking my sims (particularly the ones that were gaining fame) and made him a one star celebrity. He's lucky he still is a celebrity. Now hardly anyone knows who he is and my celeb sims can work on gaining their fame without him sucking up all the attention.

    Cool. Does he still behave as he is the center of all attraction, just on a lower level? I wonder if he is programmed beyond traits to behave like he does...
