I hope being famous is an option and not automatic.

Me too! It's already hard for me to act like my sims are still normal people with all those astronauts, secret agents and star comedians around, so if everyone is also famous all of a sudden, that would be a little bit too much.

I do want my simself to become a famous writer, though, and my Lara Croft to be a famous archaeologist. B)

I agree. Sims should not just become famous, just because they reach a certain level in a career. it would be too much and TS3 gave a good example how much could go wrong when sims got famous way too easy. Maybe I want sims to be GOOD doctors, but not also famous. It should be an activity on it's own where sims would have to complete certain tasks/activities and go to certain events to become famous along with the level of their career. The star system was a good idea in TS3, but I hated it when my sim just got stars when i did not actively played for it. Thats why I think these tasks, events, activities, socializing with other celebrities etc, attending events/parties would be a good idea.

In Sims 3 we got the oppotunity to start the journey towards fame -- but you could turn it down. Maybe Get Famous will have a similar option -- to become famous maybe you have to hire an agent or something similar.

I hope there is a way to avoid the reputation system. Don't get me wrong I want to try it out.. but I like to play cheaters/bad guys that don't get caught. It's part of their sneaky character.

Options? In Sims 4? Pshaw!

According to the blog it looks like bouncers and nightclubs may be back. I hope so!

But thought we already had nightclubs since the basegame? IN fact Willow Creek came with one.

Alright, note that I'm just speaking for myself here.

To start, I did NOT see this coming. I figured that there might've been a pack like this (knowing similar packs in previous games) in the future, but I expected a GP this month, not another EP. And to be honest, I didn't really want a pack like this. The Road to Fame mod worked quite well for me, so while this pack is at least slightly interesting, can't say I'm hyped.

I'll have to agree with others talking about the trailer, I didn't see much that tells me this is an EP worth buying. The majority of what you see is a female Sim pretty much being worshipped by those around her, a couple of acting scenes, some costumes, and a new city.

Just my two cents on what I take away from the trailer. I know many simmers out there prefer the official content over mods, but I'm just saying that for me, I don't see anything that convinces me this pack will be worth the usual $40 asking price EPs are stamped with.

I did not like the trailer. It went by too fast and not much was shown.

We might be looking at another Get Together. This is the shortest trailer for an EP with only a minute and 5 seconds. All others had a minute and at least 20 seconds of footage.

I'm sad that there's nothing else besides acting when it comes to careers, there's no band making, no sound recording studio for singing and other instruments etc. All the gameplay seems to be on top of the fame system and acting career.

I also don't understand why there are makeover stations but the stylist career is free. Also the stylist in the trailer looks like that one random stylist from the Sims Mobile, pink hair, big glasses...exactly the same.

Can't rain on my parade lol. I'll wait and see.. *Bites nails*

Apparently "Get Famous" adds a new club for children&teens drama club

Some more tea for you all! Children can be some degree of famous, yes. Also we have a fun little Drama Club that kids and teens will be able to join. However, no professional child actors (working with their stage parents would have been nightmares).

To be honest, the more I'm hearing, the more it looks a little bare bones. We get the fame/ reputation system (which looks cool) a new world, and then only 2 career, both of which are in acting? Doesn't sound like it costs $40. Where is modeling, bands, singers, directors, designers? The fame system seems like a cheap way for them to avoid adding in new careers..

I wonder if the Athlete career will be affected by this? Being a famous bodybuilder or a professional athlete seems like it would work well with the fame aspect...

This. This is really what I’m interested in. SimguruKate said they worked so it can work with other careers, so maybe being at a high level of the career, but honestly these are mainly the questions I’d like answered first. How does the fame system work, luckily she tweeted there will be a livestream for this aspect along with reputation.

Athlete is definitely one of the most obvious candidates for fame (at least the Professional Athlete branch, not sure I know any famous bodybuilders, but I might be wrong), so it would be silly not to open the path to fame for this career. Other very likely candidates in my opinion include Entertainer, Social Media, Writer, and Painter, anything art-related really. It would also be interesting to see how the sim world would handle a star criminal, especially if Get To Work is installed and cops are a thing. One job that most likely won't get the fame treatment is Secret Agent because, you know, secrecy and all that.

Off the top of my head, there was the late Jack LaLanne who was a famous bodybuilder then later had an exercise show on TV for many decades. And Arnold Schwartzenegger was famous as a bodybuilder before he went into acting/politics. I could see having a bodybuilder Sim becoming a personal trainer to the stars, mentoring them in fitness and becoming famous that way. As for Secret Agent, maybe the system could be used to create a James Bond-type Sim. Pretty much any career could lead to fame with the right options.

did you miss the fact- the other careers since the base game and up are also going to allow you to be famous? Famous painter, famous chef, famous author, etc

We've already got the nightclubs (they were base game then improved with the GT DJ booths) -- would be nice if there was some sort of system to make them exclusive to Sims of a certain celebrity level, either some sort of rope device with a bouncer who can be bribed to let ordinary Sims in or maybe lot traits.
