One of my main worries about Get Famous is that all the early looks highlight the celebrity angle, making me wonder how applicable it'll be when I go back to my more normal sims. However, one thing that's standing out to me is that reputation is always mentioned as a separate system, mentioned together with the fame system but not just being subsumed into it.Reputation as a way for a sim's behaviors to have lasting effects beyond moodlets and basic relationship meter nudges would be huge, and would get me excited for elements that could affect every sim in play. I guess I'm just curious if anybody else expects this to be the major sleeper system added, or if they think it'll just flavor what sort of fame attaches to celebrity sims and will be intrinsically tied to the fame system.

Yes. SimGuruGraham confirmed it.https://twitter.com/SimGuruGraham/status/1050510264754290688

I’m really interested to see what the reputation system will be like... I’ve been waiting for it to make a comeback along side the attraction system and likes and dislikes to make the sims feel more in depth... romance in this game is so easy to the point of it being boring in my opinion... I need playing the sims to be a lot more challenging!

Okay this became really interesting ... I now understand why it's an EP.

I really miss that interaction from the Sims 3.I agree, this should bring consequence for cheating or say fighting.

Do you think that reputation will apply to non famous sims?

The reputation system is the only thing that worries me, because the values in my sims society may not align with those set by the game.

For example in case of arranged marriages having a mistress is perfectly acceptable for my sims. To the game it will look like cheating.
On the other hand I tend to dish out penalties (fines or prison) for actions that are perfectly acceptable by the game, like dropping trash on the streets, being noisy or being (unprovoked) rude. Wish there was a way we could define our own criteria for reputation going up and down!

It'll be interesting to see how much of the system modders can access.

I just say I love the systems they add in sims 4. They definitely are more customizable than ever before. Would be awesome if we could choose what is good or bad actions.

So everyone gets Reputation, which is good - I was wondering the same thing after their recent news piece. What about the Fame? THAT is just for celebrities, right? I really don't want the hassle of an everyday sim spontaneously earning these weird fame perks.

So, how does one opt-in to celebrity? Is it a manual choice, like a career? Or just living in Del Sol does it?
