Get Famous - Official Trailer

this hair though. <3

I also wonder if the new world is more fitting for the terrain tools. Some have been saying the current worlds are too 'flat' so making hills and such with the new tools would seem out of place. Maybe this new world would blend that in more? I dunno, that's just another random aspect I thought about. :)

It's a good point! I always wonder what else I can do with my materialistic & snob Sims..

Well I’m excited, it made my day anyway!

The drama club sounds right up my alley, I have a teen sim perfect for this though she prefers Broadway over Hollywood. Maybe I can emulate stage plays somehow with this pack.

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.

Sorry, I made a mistake. I know night clubs are in the base game but bouncers and not being able to get in is new and I hope it’s done right.

Been browsing around online and it amuses me that not even a full day into the release of the trailer, and some people assume this is, yet again, 'the worst pack ever' or 'has nothing in it', lol. Haven't seen any livestreams yet. Haven't seen any reviews yet. Haven't seen any gameplay yet. But people jump to conclusions anyway.

Fame is not a high priority on my Simming gameplay. It's mildly interesting, sure, but if we did without it, I wouldn't miss anything. But that being said? Here's what the trailer is showing me:

First, the basics: A new active career to explore. A new world to build in. A new way to spice up old careers. Cool build/buy mode items and CAS assets. A new system (fame) to tinker with, which probably leads to more options on controlling townies on various lots and such. Maybe the movie studios are a new lot type? Maybe there are new lot traits?

Second, the impact to the rest of the game: Did you see all those cool costumes? With Dine Out, you can have a scifi-themed Diner! Or how about a Pirate bar? Maybe we can build outdoor play theaters. Maybe you can expand movie theater set ups if you have Movie Hangout. Maybe you can make 'groupies' for celebs with the club system from GT. I'm looking forward to giving my Bob Ross Sim his own tv show (or movie, depending on how that goes in the new pack). Heck, I've got a group of Sims from the Supernatural tv show that could actually have that show now! :D Back when the Kids' Room SP came out, I made an outdoor theater for them. Maybe now it can actually be one the way it was meant to. I bet you could make a store from GTW that sells movie memorabilia.

There are way more possibilities than people give it credit for. You'd think Simmers of all people would have more creativity.

We certainly have a lot more to learn about this pack! My concern is it's releasing in 38 days, and all we have right now is a poorly written Origin description and a trailer showing a whopping minute and four seconds of the same content over and over again.

Which is why some are inclined to post how they aren't vibing well with the pack in terms of content/design already. Usually, a studio puts out a trailer showing the best of everything a pack has to offer from the get go. There's also the fact that this is TS4's 6th expansion, so most people are familiar with how things function.

My creativity only extends as far as EA allows it to.

My take on this pack is that there's 4 things to it:

The world, which is not exactly a new gameplay feature
The fame system which is the new gameplay system but something that's not very showy in a trailer unless you have a narrator or text telling you what's going on
The acting career, yes this pack is all about the movie industry
Living the wealthy life

The two major gameplay things are fame system and acting although the blog post mentioned that the more funds you have, you'll unlock certain interactions. Like that guy just pouring money with his hands. This pack will be a festival for materialistic sims.

That's my take too. I'm just not really into it for $40. I'm sure the acting career will be fun to do once, but I'm not sure about how long the novelty will last. All my Sims somehow end up rich in no time so the whole 'living the wealthy life' thing doesn't really appeal to me.

I'm waiting for more info, but for now my guess is that I'll wait for a sale.

Not the pack for me. Personally I am much more hyped about the terrain tools.
I am looking forward to seeing more of the world though, the distance shots didn't reveal enough, hoping for another trailer next week.

Since I'm into using The Sims to do things I can't do in real life - be a vampire, go to a South American jungle, cook - Get Famous is right up my alley, even if it does look overpriced.

Hmm, I wonder how that will work. Will they gain fame once they reach a certain level of the career? I just hope it's not too easy to become famous...

Glad to see these tweets. This means (if I get the pack, and I probably will) my food critic sim can be low-level famous; like a food vlog youtuber, and my musician sim can have fame from as a singer/songwriter/guitarist.
