I thought autographs was suppose to go up in value, why did it drop?

Someone says they go up a lot if the sim dies.

However, I bet it has to do with what is going on at the rewards ceremony, my sim still hasn't got nothing, what level do you have to be to get the reward. The door is supposed to unlock to everyone for the reward ceremony, but I don't think it always does.

Edit: I got tons of fame even though the fans are stupid even if they are not your fans they still freak out at one star cel and faint. So funny, fame appears to be attached to how many people can see you and what you are doing. Also I had my Sims sing a duo at the lot with the up and coming lot trait on it and everyone just kept on giving my sim and his wife money which was the other sim, its a little bit of a challenge but they can sing the songs together while the other one plays the guitar and sings with the mic.
