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. ?

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.

True that. I don't think I could play the auditions 10 times, though I only let Frederik do auditions that require charm or musical talent so I'll have another sim do fitness related stuff I think xD I am however very excited that my sim can become famous developing video games, or making apps, or by playing music or by uploading and editing videos, or by having a famous restaurant (that will be the next thing I try xD) etc. So I think even after the novelty of acting wears off, which it will, for a career player like myself, this pack is perfect.

its actually better than I imagined it'd be!
everything (except the world size) is PERFECT. literally everything. the reputation AND fame systems are great, fun. I played for 12 hours straight when the game was out and I didn't get bored. (I got bored with every single EP and GP so far other than seasons)
JUST GREAT overall

I am enjoying it way more than I expected but there are some aspects that grind my gears.

Some might seem minor but are huge for me, for example, seeing my sims freaking out because of famous sims when I am playing another household. It doesn't suit most of my sims to do that and I really dislike to see them pass out because of Baby Ariel.
For example, the sim in the picture here, he would never ever freak out for any celebrity. He is a free spirited sim that grew up homeless and now has a nice family and likes to live his life off the radar and mostly off the grid. He will never ever care about any celebrity and yet, the game picks him to do it. I wish our played sims wouldn't get randomly selected for such things. It is so out of character.

I don't care to see the other townies because I evicted them all and don't play them but I really dislike my stories being broken by the game.
I am not a fan of the new world at all either and I think I will grow tired of the acting career pretty quickly.
The lounges and awards ceremonies are plain sad since it's only like 8 sims in the lot.
I don't want every sim to freak out over every celebrity.

But it is a very dynamic and fun pack overall, with great aditions to gampelay and surprisingly fresh ideas and attention to detail.
So for what it is, it gets a thumbs up from me. We'll see how it holds up over time.

The Father Winter bug isn't an issue for me because I never used him to father any children plus I'm playing a newly installed game. I was only in CAS for the time it took me to make my sim and select one outfit for each category. I know it's annoying to a lot of simmers but I'm just focusing on the gameplay and build/buy for now and anticipating getting into CAS once they fix the bug. Hope it's not too much longer.

Actually does it also happen when you go into cas from the manage household tab?

Yes. There's no avoiding it if you go into CAS ever.
