I forgot about them.
male pregnancy's
abduction
secret lot,
to go with the 3rd career.

I love everything about it except the world.

I haven't done much with the actor career. My sims that are famous rn have become stars through music.

Pros-
The Acting career with interesting movie studio and ability to get famous in any career
The Social Influencer media career and realistic equipment
The cas and build stuff


Cons-
The Celebrity walk. The shine stuff is ok but that walk feature is horrible. If it wasn't in slow motion, it would probably be ok. Either way, I hope either they take away the slow motion or disable it somehow for good. Especially, as many of us don't want to have to use mods.

Very disappointing world
Having lived in LA, one of the neighborhoods really does look like a poor to working class neighborhood. However, where are the more middleclass areas like Long Beach or Beverly represented? Those areas are decent without being too ritzy. Also, even the wealthier houses appear to all have the same view which is weird. Also, there are not nearly enough lot's considering the game's purpose. In real life, so many people come to "hollywood" to become famous not just one or two people in terms of making it real for the Sims gameplay.

I really wish they could patch in or at least include an extra large world to make up for it in the next expansion game pack. Perhaps, that is wishful thinking but it would definitely keep me playing. Otherwise, I am extremely bored with this world.

For me it is worth the money and time. For once I finally experienced a proper well thought not rushed celebrity system. That alone makes it worth it, alongside with the reputation system that I am hoping for return since The Sims 2. We do have in Sims 3, but it is romance focused. So having proper celeb system that you can keep track of is great. The acting career has the best representation imo of acting to real life. Instead of a daily job like in Late Night, acting in 4 has depth.
I know for others doing tasks repetetively is not a great design choice and boring, but for me it is this moments that makes me feel closer to my sims. While its just click this object and do animation, that is what we do in the game all the time, so I don't see it anywhere, the fact that I can see them doing acting and guiding them and watching their succes and failures already makes me happy. Add the challenge in of being famous and quirks that adds challenge to a sims personality then I think I got a very worthwile pack. I am dissapointed in the size of the world, but I am giving the environment team points for making the world looks good.

I also love the Music Production table and the ability to use the music you created in the DJ booths

Until they fix the hair and makeup station, which fails 100% every time, then the pack really isn’t worth the time it takes to play it. Already posted in AHQ and tested with a clean slate so no reminders needed there, but the problem is pretty inconvenient seeing how the actor career is the main feature of the expansion.

I personally like this EP. This one and Seasons are my favorites so far.

After Get Famous went on sale, I bought. Have to say that I personally am enjoying it. I love creating Sims and I always change or remove every townie. Check out my Sims creations under EA Account ID: littlebonnieblue On the side make sure to click include Custom Content to see all my Sims creations. I use custom content for hair, clothes, shoes, make-up, finger nail polish, and earrings because I love beautiful Sims. I rarely use the Sims content in CAS but I have used a lot of the fancy dresses in Get Famous--nice. Get Famous is a pack that just adds to the game play. I've spent time remodeling every house and every apartment and I mean everyone single one and all venues. I have Sims singles, Sims Families that I created in every house because I don't like Random Townies. Now I'm working on the lots in Get Famous. Get creative with your game--in Magnolia Promenade I placed a restaurant called Uptown Dining, also shopping venues called Uptown Kids, Uptown Clothes, and Uptown Shopping. I think because I see only my sims creations around town it just adds to the game. After my first acting gig, I did makeovers on everyone Get Famous townie and the ones that appear at the sound stage I travel to for gigs--director-actors-sound stage-paparazzi, etc. I made a super star handsome Sim to be a future rich boyfriend for my Sims to hopefully fall in love with and help her rise to fame. Get Famous has added to my Game Play.

Great post! I agree 100%! I am by nature a heavy critic (but silent) with the games unattractive content. I recently visited a custom content site and discovered a designer who creates her homes using nothing but game content. Her latest collections really blew my mind and made me look differently at the content provided in the games. Her starlet home was created mostly from the Get Famous EP and is seriously awesome!

Yes, this is irritating. It does work occasionally, but most of the time it fails and you have a time limit to enjoy doing the performance. Very frustrating.

Well I'm glad I don't have the hair and makeup bug then. So far everything has worked well. Can't say I would have made him look the way they make my sim look but they've not gotten upset and he doesn't look bad just totally different. The only problem I have is giving them time to get to their stations so I usually do another task or two then send my sim over there. No clue but does friendship levels affect their work at all? Wondering because my sim makes friends with an introduction.
