Just Downloaded "Get Famous"

I waited until I could find a sale and finally found one!

I'll be honest -- I've had my ups and downs with Sims 4. The connection hasn't been as instantaneous as TS3 and past iterations. But when Seasons came out (my favorite pack of all time for all generations), it did seem to bring some more life to this generation gameplay.

I love the idea of celebrity, fame and fortune, etc so I hope this purchase is worth it...

How is everyone here liking it so far? Any fun stories?

I think, for my first sim, I will make an old fashioned-esque movie star, see where that takes me :)

Any fun tips/ tricks?

    I am really enjoying it.
    Some simmers don't like it, or certain aspects of it, but I am really into it, even though there are a few things I have issues (celebrity slow walk..).

    Fame is hard to accumulate initially, but you gain momentum after about 2 stars.
    I suspect this is because you actually need to have talent to have impact from those fame interactions.

    The next time I start out a stardom seeking sim, I think I might focus more on skill building and career ladder climbing initially.
    It's a waste of time doing all those fame interactions only to have them decay. I'm wondering if there is some kind of multiplier effect based on how skilled your sim is and how high they are on the career ladder.

    As for stories, I am hosting a thread for everyone to report their fun game play moments.
    Feel free to post if you have something fun to share:

  • I love it. The only thing I truly dislike is that I cant actually live in the city itself.
  • I really enjoy it! This EP is super entertaining. I love to see many townies recognize my sims and scream excitedly like they meet an idol, it make me so happy to see that.

    Anyway, I think there are some bugs that need to be fixed, for examples; my sims got award from ceremony but the award was disappeared, I looked everywhere in my sims inventory but nothing there. And the fame quirk also, I removed vain street quirk from my sims because it's pretty annoying, but my sims still got tense because of that quirk after I removed it.

    But overall, I still love this EP!
