Hello :mrgreen: On my way home from work, with Sims 4 get famous downloaded Waiting for me :)Has anybody played and enjoying it?Is anybody looking forward playing it and got plans with what they are going to do?

I have been playing it for a couple hours and I have to say I am enjoying it more than I expected. The fame system is a lot of fun to work with and the different approaches you can have to building it up is impressive> The thing I like most are the random quirks you can get! Love how they affect your sim in different ways.

I promised myself I'd wait til January, after the holidays to buy it. Then my hubby asked how I was liking the new expansion as well...I broke down and went ahead and bought it. :blush: I haven't gotten to play much of it but my general thoughts at the moment: I like that it doesn't seem too aggressive (the sims 3 superstar was fairly aggressive about their fame system/celebrity system) Its early on yet and my sim's aren't actors, their a Chef and a Sports person, but it seems slim enough that it won't be too annoying later on when the new wears off. I don't see instant press hounds on my lawn at all hours of the day and night either, so for me, that's a plus. The new hair and clothing are cool, but I've yet to explore the whole of the new CAS stuff. I'm sure it's great.

Its pretty fun but it has its fsir share of complaints. The world is WAY too unnecessarily small. There are PLENTY of fake decoration houses that look really nice, but I would rather have as a lot. I also dont like how you HAVE to pick certain perks before you can pick others.For example to get fan mail i need to get the completely un related videos give more fame perk.

It's really fun and it getting famous is not that easy anymore and u can't just become famose if you don't want to. It add's a lot of depth in this game.

Getting famous and getting fame points is definitely not easy! My sim was in the max of the live streaming career and I wanted to get her to the 3rd fame level before I switched her to acting. I gave up at level 2. She would do charity streams, make memes, go to bars and use her phone to get fame points. Other than that I’m enjoying it. I was having trouble juggling between 4 sims, 2 adult sims trying to get famous and taking care of 2 kids is just not easy!

my sim saw a celeb out in town in San Myshuno. It was pretty fun. I didn't watch the streams of this EP but I hope it's really hard to become famous. Not cute if everyone's a celeb eventually :s

From what I understood about this is that passive sims in your world do not gain any fame (correct me if I'm wrong) Instead, if the game calls for a new famous sims to be introduced (due people passing away) new sims will be generated and put into the world with a celebrity status.

Edit: this doesn't mean that all new random townies will be famous.

Get Famous, I love... CAS and CC bugs... I do not. It's making the game very unplayable at this time. I can't even really enjoy my gameplay cause I am a heavy CAS user and I can't even go into CAS for fear of my sims aging up. "Stay out of CAS" is not an acceptable workaround.

Can you work around these bugs with cheats? I'm a heavy mod/cheat player, so I might purchase the expansion if it can be fixed with cheats.

Unfortunately, not really. CAS aging just can't be stopped. Even aging off and vampires are effected. You can use MCCC to revert their age, but that gets tiresome sending them as Adult, back to YA, each time you go into cas (especially if you are like me and are in cas every time you turn around). Not to mention, I want my sisters to be a few days apart, but that can't happen as long as I'm having to reset their ages with MCCC after a bout in CAS.

I tested and 2 minutes in cas aged my sim 5 days. I can spend hours in cas.

The CC has a 'half way' work around, which won't work for me. They want you to allow CC for random. Which means I get male bartenders with Pink female alpha hair and green alpha eyebrows..,. Not ideal. So I'm holding off until EA either fixes the issue, or our awesome modders and cc creators figure it out.

@catmando830 I was going to wait until it went on sale but I found a site selling it for cheaper than Origin or Amazon.

I absolutely love this expansion, one of my sims is out in Del Sol Valley with his best friend trying to make it big as a musician! I also like that you can turn off the fame default in game settings so that only the sims I choose will gain fame. Such a good idea.

I don’t even know what the CAS aging bug is.... lol but speaking of Get Famous, I played all day and got my sim to three stars! It’s nice... now she has paparazzi showing up outside her house waiting.
