How do you interact with celebrities? "Attempt Introduction" Failures

Sid, Laff... I tried that. The sim I wanted to interact with was married. In an attempt to interact, I became best friends with their spouse and regular friends with their daughter. They still refused to talk. Thought it was fairly bad manners myself. Won't even talk to your wife's best friend? Geez.

I actually didn't know they held meet and greets themselves. I'll have to look it up. Meet and greets are great for leveling fame. Knocks my famous sim's fame by half a star every time.

Lquinn, you should. I've purchased everything for every sims game back to Sims 1 and this is one of my favorites.

Generally I have my Sim ignor them as much as possible - as my female does that idiotic excited clap thing that annoys me to no end - so unless a celeb comes up and start talking to my sim I try to force them to move on. If that doesn't work I send them somewhere else out of that town.

I rarely have even my few sims that live there hang around any of the venues there - I send them to other towns when my sim is through with their gig - off they go.

Famous sims are fine when it's me... ;) But others are mainly annoying. It's like my sim will be dancing in a nightclub, then a famous sim will walk in and the DJ goes to greet and the music will stop and my sim stops dancing. I'm just like... Hey, I was dancing here!

I REALLY want a lot trait that stops famous sims from visiting. I'd even pay for one like that.

That would help. Besides in real life we'd almost never see lots of celebs in our regular places anyway. Up here in Maine we see a few - but Mainers are the type of people that just doesn't much react to it. They are nice enough - respectful and all but they don't go giddy like sims do for sure. I'd sort of like that kind of behavior in game - you can acknowledge there's a celeb in the house - but keep doing your darn job, or keep eating your food or what ever they are doing.

It's luck, or i think you'd have to be a celebrity too. When I was a Notable Newcomer my attempt introduction didn't work, but once I got more famous it worked every time. <3

Actually you either have to be a celeberity or have the same or better reputation as them. Also there is a lot trait that makes it harder for higher level celeberties to come to the lot but it don't stop them from coming, the 1 star to 3 star celeberties still come visit some, however, the 4 star and 5 star celeberties rarely show, I had to add it in the bar at strangervillie, because it killed the story with 2 global superstars and 2 or 3 4 star celeberties.

The lot trait is up and coming hotspot, if you put it on a non lounge lot the rate of high level celeberties will be low unless you create a event their that increases the rate of high celeberties. Lounges with that trait have a special community event called a celeberity meet and greet that allows fans to meet celeberties, this is not the same as the fan meet and greet your celerberty sim unlocks at fame level 3. One is the fan side of it, and the other is the celeberity side of it.

Here is how I do it when I really want my sim to make friends with certain sim celebrity. I try the attempt introduction if it fails I use rude introduction hahah. I can at least talk to then and start making friends after a rude intro. Anyway, I like that attempt introduction fails a lot. What celebrity is going to make friends immediately with some random person doing that silly wave.

How do you interact with celebrities outside of just being a fan? I keep trying 'Attempt Introduction' but I keep getting failures. Is there a solution to this?

I'm LOVING this expansion overall, but the interactions with stars feels limited for stories and this constant failure is starting to get annoying.

Is there any surefire way to fix this?

I don't know who any of them are and ignore them or delete them. If they had Chadwick Boseman from Black Panther Movie (he is one gorgeous man) Jack Nicholson, Jonny Dep, Odagiri Joe, Fukuyama Masaharu, Stan Lee, Matt Smith, Or any number of K-Pop stars, J-Pop or HK-pop stars I would have some clue and attempt an intro.

Since for all I know they are loosely based off of real celebrities, names changed looks altered a bit or just made up celebrities for the game I don't even bother. However, I do take part in making my sim a celebrity and freeze their fame along the way so that they don't loose their celebrity status for being bad.

My usual tactic is getting a conversation going with sims in the vicinity of the celeb. Most of the time the celeb will join in, so if you keep the chatting going long enough you will have him/her in your relationships panel, with the attendant ease of social interactions. This has proved very successful, and in one case has produced a high level friendship. None of my sims has any fame, either, not a smidgen.

Or you can work the bar and let them come to you, you have them at a disadvantage, they have to go through you to get a drink or food and so therefore they will have to talk to you. :smiley:
