Ok so I'm honestly loving it. The many, many ways to get famous, the perks and quirks, how difficult it is to rise to fame, the impact it has on so many other packs and .. uch .. it's lovely, it really is! I was worried it would be bland or shallow, but I'm having so much fun with this. So tell us, what do you think?

For me what is not to love?The Reputation System and the Fame System alone is already worth the 40 bucks. The challenge it had to build up your reputation and your fame is already awesome! The fact that you can progress your reputation level and the world change around you based on your reputation is awesome, and will result for good and bad sims having a lot more depth when it comes to gameplay. I haven't played the Acting Career yet(and tbh, I only bought if for the reputation) yet these two system are a huge game changer. This pack reminded me of Get Together. This is one of the features/Packs that is very hard to show off, but once played, without cheats, that is where we started to see how big it is, and how deep it was adding to the gameplay. I don't care about the size of the pack. If a pack appears small then I'm fine with it as long as it changes gameplay and adds new opportunities for expandable gameplay rather than a huge pack that has so many features that I will play only once. My hope, is they add more systems into the game that contributes to sims personality, and integrates a lot of features that we will and already had to provide us the best level of experience. Congrats on The Sims Team.

Congrats on The Sims Team.I really agree with these statements personally. The best thing about fame and reputation is that they affect all sims, across all different careers and thanks to the added cheats, in exactly the way you want it. I am so very fond of this pack, not necessarily because of the fame (although also), but because of the way it deepens every single career. And since I love playing different careers and having my sims really excel in their respective fields, it's just perfect for me. Even long after the novelty of acting will have worn off. There's in fact so many changes to the way I play that I had to put ageing on pause just so I can switch between my families without worrying they'll die on me while I get totally lost in another one for a few sim weeks xD

Goodness, I'm having such a fun time. Finally my sims feel like they're more multidimmensional... My main sim Ezra has been a professional musician since he was a teen and it only makes sense that he would become famous for his talent. But, before Get Famous I just imagined he was a celebrity and I was never was able to play that out in-game. Now that he's getting older and still continues to flaunt his talent, he's finally living the celebrity life that he deserves!!

This was a pack I didn’t want at first. I wasn’t going to even get it. But after seeing the reviews from other simmers I got it and it’s one of my favorites! They took so much into consideration. In TS3 I hated it how easy it was for my sim to become famous. I love that we can turn the fame off and on. I also really like the point system. I love that all my sims with “every day” jobs can now be famous. I have a chef sim I’ve had since the launch of the game and he’s a famous chef! The B.B. and CAS items are awesome too. I’ll be using this pack a lot. This was a pack that has exceeded my expectations, which doesn’t happen often with TS4 lol.

One of my benchmarks for judging a pack is how much difficulty I have in deciding where to start and what to do first. This pack definitely meets that benchmark. ?

Do you enjoy Get Famous??? :) | EA Forums

I can't play since the age bug is making it impossible. I enjoyed it so far, but really I don't want to play until it gets patched. Also I lost a sim and her newborn due to father winter bug (she was a father winter baby, but her offspring wasn't not sure why the baby disappeared!). Her husband is now without his wife and newborn. :(

Oh I'm sorry to hear that :( it's weird, I think I have this bug with one sim (the actor) but not with another family in this save. Even though they've both been in the same save for a very long time, so I don't really get it xD I wonder if it's because in the family I selected "plan outfit" instead of "change sim"? Think I'll test that later.

Thanks. I have decided to make it a subplot to his story where his wife and daughter got taken by aliens later they come back after he's famous, but they aren't quite the same.

I'll have to try it too. So far I have just taken to remaking the new world and setting things up. Not a fan of the new world though. It isn't a world I really like the look of I guess, but what I have played so far I like. I enjoy the fame part more than I thought I would.

I don't have it - but I cannot click your answer as I can't judge it either if I don't have it. So I won't answer it the way that is written. The only thing I know for a fact I did not like about it was too few lots for my Sims to live in that world - so for that reason I did not buy this pack and I had wanted it very badly - but just could not come to terms with just 6 residential lots.

I have seen you around here and am surprised that you aren't giving it a chance. Trust me I was one of those who thought the pack looked lacking but it actually has a lot of great game play. Yes the world is small but I'd hate for you to miss out on all the game play enhancements this pack adds!

I might change my mind when I actually get a chance to play it. I have been so busy lately that I haven't been able dive into it fully. Hubby also likes me to play mmos with him so I atm I am having to divide my time.

I actually am liking it more than I expected. Not that I was thinking I wouldn't like it, since I've always enjoyed playing with fame in past Sims games. But this is the first EP in TS4 that made me want to play all day on launch day. I really enjoy the new gameplay.

It's fun. The acting career is very monotonous and I don't see myself wanting to continue with it after I've watched all the scenes. Also, I wish they had focused on other avenues of fame rather than all the influencer/social media stuff. I mean, I get it... that's how a lot of people get famous these days.. but I don't want to do social media on my sim, it's just so boring. Those are essentially my only two gripes with the pack so far.

I was very excited to get this pack and try to enjoy my game once again after months of avoiding it. I got the pack and went into my game. I switched my Sim's career and got her started on her tasks. I then went into CAS to look at all the new stuff which I hadn't seen before. All of this in about an hour. Then I came here and saw the comments about the CAS aging bug (which I turn Aging Off in my game). I haven't touched my game since, while waiting for an official patch for this. This just ruined any excitement I had for finally being able to enjoy my game again.

So far so good :)

It is early days though, so I guess it may become a little more boring. But I had my sims first gig audition and the actual gig today and totally loved it.

It's a lot of fun I'm having Season's vibes as when I first got that I took breaks to do other things and just had to get right back to it, later I imagine I'll mix it in to my other saves and newer ones differently probably but it's really enjoyable so far.
