How Is Everyone Likiing Get Famous?

Okay so, I'm gonna start off by saying that I get that this isn't the best. Del Sol Valley is small, there's a lot of problems with the male clothing (as usual), and I agree with that. But let me tell you one thing: I'm in the UK and used Tunnelbear to download this expansion earlier today, at around noon, sat down to play it and just now stopped because I realised it's eight and I need food!
I haven't been this entertained by Sims 4, I think, since I bought it years ago. It felt like playing Sims 2. The acting career is so much fun! The perks! The different agencies! There is so much to do!
I was really afraid that the star system would be like in Sims 3, where you took a breath near people and suddenly you were a three star celebrity, but boy, this is so hard! But like, in a good way! I've been literally playing all day and I'm barely near the second star! I've filmed three commercials, an episode for a tv show, and I'm nowhere near as famous and I assumed I would be, which to be fair is very realistic. The Self-Absorbed trait is amazing, going through your Simstagram feed literally raises your Fun, and I love that. I love all the new events on the calendar. I love that cute ass furry jacket.
I could go on and on, but even with eight hours of gameplay I feel like I barely scratched the surface of this expansion. I really wish I had more criticism to offer you all, like you do, but I just had a lot of fun with this. I went in with low expectations and boy, were they surpassed.
10/10, this is definitely better than My First Pet Stuff.

It is actually pretty cool. I used a VPN so I could play for a bit last night, but only managed to squeeze in two hours as I got way too much stuff to do today at work so I needed me sleep. Anyhoo, personal life stories aside, what I did see was actually pretty cool and in-depth. The world is too small, definitely, no argument there. It drives me a little insane that they didn't take the opportunity to give us more apartment for example. I mean aren't there any apartments in LA? Lol.

But world complaints aside, the gameplay is pretty solid. From what I've seen. After two hours I still only managed to do one audition, haven't even seen the set yet and I'm super excited to visit it tonight! So yes, I think there's plenty to do, the fame system is set up well and actually takes effort. Which is great.

Only things I don't like are, again, world size and that bouncers apparently do not autogenerate on your lots when placing a special door. Not sure why? Oh also, don't give the new lot traits to restaurants. Sims won't sit down to eat anymore, they'll just be taking pics of celebrities. Which I don't like either, at all.

Still, the rest was very fun and I'm looking forward to discovering more of the content tonight as I feel I haven't seen much yet at all. Don't even have a single perk lol.

I have only been editing the new world so far. But I am loving all the new items! And I actually like the EA-made mansions, which is very rare for me lol. Usually I can't stand the Lots that come with the game and I am not a fan of huge homes anyway, but I like the way they have done these ones. And gorgeous views from them! I can't wait til I get a rich and famous sim to live there.

I was considering waiting to play but I don't know if I can wait. How is the perk system?

The expansion pack is really great, and I love the detail. I am definately hyped about more expansions like this, such as hotel managing or nectar making/farming.

I do notice however that since the expansion my sim is constantly getting ill, sometimes up to 2 or 3 times a day! I need to constantly buy medicine for my sim, but at this point it is crazy and nearly not fun anymore! Did anyone experience this? Any possible fix? :( I don't want to start over this household >.<.

I actually had that happen before the expansion with one of my sims.

I think that this pack adds a lot of gameplay. Really fun pack!

The pack is definitely not shallow as I had first judged it to be. Plenty of gameplay here and lots to do.
(Also being a passive advocate for the return of Hip-Hop, I love the choice of songs they provided. Especially "IV Jay - Pretty Wings".)

The only things I wish for is more careers as well as I hoped for the new neighborhood to be at least bigger than what we got but I am really loving the acting career right now. I had my doubts but the pack is pretty fun! Once I saw the perks that you can purchase off fame points, I was really intrigued! It adds a lot more gameplay than I expected.

Did you find any solution to this? Would love to hear...
