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

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.

  • It will be interesting to see how reputation system ties in with the sim club system and how you already gain or can purchase perks to give your club a certain type of reputation I.e being feared or sims shocked of their presence.. I’m currently in a club and my sim gets a lot of people crowding round her with a gasping reaction I can’t remember which perk activates this.

    I had a sim like this until I realized she was wearing skinny jeans made from the nude mesh and NPCs just reacted because they thought she was naked.
    I modified the .package after that.

    That's great news! I'm already looking even more forward to this EP...
  • Hopefully they don’t add the “woohooed a supernatural” thing as a negative again.

    I really, really hope this means sims can finally be caught cheating and someone can tell their spouse/significant other about it. I really miss that interaction from the Sims 3.



    If this is the case, all my sims will have a horrible reputation :D

    I agree, this should bring consequence for cheating or say fighting.


    Fingers crossed!

    That comes with the Infamous Club perk.
  • I hope reputation isn't limited to just romantic interactions with others. I hope sims can also get reputations like bad boy/girl, rebel, tease, rude, friendly to all, clown etc. Reputation is generally what others think of you, so this kind of socially aware system would be nice.
  • I'm wondering how much of the reputation system actually stops interactions (because of gossip) with other Sims and starts to hinder the player's story like it did in TS3.
