Get Famous - Official Trailer

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

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

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.

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).

Wonder how that works? We already have club system in Get Together; maybe it'll work more like Scouts in Seasons as an after-school thing.

I know I'd rather have a lot of detail in every part they add in to the iteration so I can tell better stories. I don't mind if they don't have lots of careers. I just want them to be fleshed out when they come. That's why I'm loving this game so far.. no change there for me. The acting career looks awesome so far.

We also have those velvet ropes already too; you can find them in the Von Haunt estate lot where it is used to block certain rooms in the house. Some interact-able gate attachment would be the only new thing there.

I'm very happy that after 15 years (more or less) we are finally getting a superstar remake. Fame is back, that's okay......

But a brand new active career with acting, and a brand new urban world. I'm very happy with this. It's been awhile for me since I've been excited over an EP. Since city living in fact. Ive waited years for this I'm glad its coming back around.

I know some people are more practical simmers and really enjoyed (maybe not..) cats and dogs, parenthood, seasons etc. But me? I really look forward to these kinds of packs. There are different groups of simmers who enjoy different things and some of us have waited years for this.

If I had to pick out a criticism to counter balance my opinion of what I've seen, it would be that I wish music or modeling could have also made it in. Recording studios and runways would have fit nicely. Alas we can't have everything.

After seeing how the acting career played out in the trailer, I can see a lot of work went in to making it a real and tangible experience. Like I said I will be keeping an eye on the news and live streams.

EDIT: also the world appears to be abit more desert in nature and I'm also really stoked for that. We only have one, and its okay....but I'm glad we are getting more.

the club system isn't the same thing as Scouts. there was little for children to do after school until Seasons

Really like the sets from acting careers, and everything looks fun. Can't wait to learn more about it in coming weeks. :)
