how to get to get doctor famous ?

@stutum Not even close.. I have a famous painter and a famous eSport gamer in my game. I also would have had a famous chef, had I not explicitly gone out of my way to make sure he didn't build too much fame (still made it to the 2nd tier despite that). All of that is without using the livestreaming stuff that GF added to allow you to really push the fame for non-acting sims.

So yah, you can build fame with other careers. Relatively easily for the two I mention, which are the only two I have tried so far since GF came out.

Unfortunately, @honeypooh1267, I have not followed the doctor career track yet so can't provide any insight into how to pursue fame with that particular career.

You might like SimGuruGraham's spreadsheet of ways to Get Famous, including what skill & skill level you need before an act gains fame.

Really? You can build fame with just any career? I had no idea. My bad! :)

I have been play him for a little bit and nothing as come up for fame for doctor career.. not the emergency or delivering a baby, Nothing...he is a Level 5 or 6 in the doctor career..nothing came up..so far.

If we are translating this to real world...it makes sense that he does not get fame for this. The only famous doctors I tend to even recognize are ones who are on TV or have social media followings. A random doctor doesn't become famous just because they are doing their job.

@Stormkeep -- oh my, the HIPPA violations! the lawsuits! :anguished: :astonished: :confounded:

:lol:

Active careers have no opportunity to earn fame and it is all based on actions they perform. From that list scientist has the most they can do to earn fame. Sim ray, satellite, wormhole generator, cloning machine. Detective has solving cases and I guess if you wanted you could fight the criminals before you arrest them. Doctor unfortunately has nothing.

That said like others have said social media updates and using the drone to record/stream your work day. I can see a famous doctor filming their surgeries, or their cases to social media.

Look at Dr. Pimple Popper who records herself removing pimples, cysts, and other gross stuff and she is famous because of it. If she didn't post those videos no one would know who she is and she would just be another doctor.

I think it makes sense for active careers to well require you to be more active in your sims ability to gain fame. For standard careers opportunities are kinda required as there is less opportunity for you as the player help them earn fame.

As far as I know, acting is the only career that gives you fame. It takes a long time to build up the fame, but just keep doing what earns those points. Make music to release, make videos, update your Simstagram regularly, etc.

@Stutum Yes, they confirmed early on that any career can add fame, it just takes much longer than the acting career :/

@honeypooh1267 I hear the fame boosting options don't start appearing until much later into your career. I haven't gotten that far yet with any of my new sims working their careers so I haven't seen any of it yet.

Cool! That it's possible, not that it takes so long. I'll have to try that next time.
