Get Famous - Official Trailer

They already said it was a perk system.

I'm thinking it will probably be like vampires, earning points to unlock higher rank perks.
At least that's what I hope it will be, I really love the vampire perk system.

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.

This expansion needs more pop culture references if it's a celebrities/acting/whatever themed one.

Add a random NPC who looks like The Doctor or something.

So we can be a famous criminal? Sounds interesting..

I feel we're going backwards in terms of the naming of the expansions. Get To Work, Get Together, City Living, Pets, Seasons, then Get Famous? Yeah, yeah, the name's accurate, but it just feels like there was a meeting, someone was like, "let's call it 'The Sims 4: Silver Screen'," but then the EA rep was like, "who do you think you work for?! We have to show we're the greediest company there is! Get, get, get, that's what we want," so the Maxis guys were panickedly going, "okay, okay, please, we'll call it...uh...'Get Famous'! Please don't fire me, sir, I have kids!" Then the EA rep started calming down and was like, "good. Good, that's...that's better. Excuse me, all this excitement has made me sweaty, I need to take a money bath before the coke party."

Hilarious hypothetical situations aside, I'm curious if this is going to be more Sims 3: Showtime or The Sims: Superstar. Are we going to be able to make our way as a pop music sensation or stage magician, or is this going to be focused more around acting? What sort of gameplay changes are they going to implement? Can we create entourages in the same way one creates clubs in Get Together? What new life state will they implement and why should it be Witches/Warlocks? Will the new neighborhood have festivals if we have City Living installed? I want to know!

Yes I'm hyped, why do you ask?

Great! So there is a fame and reputation system! Awesome.

Exited for the acting career as well, but I'm wondering how there was a limo in the trailer.....was that decor then?

I don't know how to feel about this trailer, very little is actually shown. The movie sets and costumes look beautiful. But what is the new fame system like? What are the different careers? What does the city even look like? Nothing else is shown. All I see in this clip is someone acting and then partying. Not the best trailer in my opinion...

It's hard to show a system in a minute-long trailer. The Seasons trailer never showed making your own holidays either. For an EP trailer it's fine -- we've got over 4 weeks for further trailers and blogs to give us more details.

The fame system is a perk system? That's kind of disappointing. I hope it just doesn't recycle the vampires perk system. If it does, I'm not buying it until it's discounted. I was hoping for an actual celebrity system.

It’s good that existing careers are taken into account. I hope that the reputation system impacts on things like cheating too.

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'll probably check out the livestreams and see if my mind changes.
