Is Get Famous just being an actor?

That's interesting with the level 11 thing, though it makes sense. Celebrity chef/mixologist are already the top of the culinary career. It would be cool to see NPCs actually recognize my supposed celebrity-status Sims. As it is, I just get a message sometimes when they're at work saying that a fan wanted an autograph.

I have to wonder how being a top-level spy would work with being famous. Or being a top-level criminal, since the entire point of both professions is to be really good at what you do without people being able to find you.
