New freelancer careers, new content
A very nice live stream! I liked all new objects and especially the the new male clothes. The careers remind me of TS3 self-employed jobs.

I hope freelancers won't build fame from the work they do, unless they also do something else in order to gain fame. It would be weird if a freelance programmer get famous while a tech guru programmer will not. And freelance writers rarely get famous at all, especially not ghost writers...
You can opt any sim you play out of the fame system and they will no longer gain any fame.
Good to know. But seriously, I don't think there are many RL freelance programmers who would give autographs... Most freelancers I know are not at all famous, they often work from home (or rented office) because they want hourly freedom, they don't seek fame in particular. If they gain some fame, it would be within a smaller job related network, say among other freelancers doing the same thing, they won't have fans among the random person in the street, like a musician, actress or tv-personality might. So, my hope is that freelancers will at least not get famous until they reach a certain level of gigs/skills.
Just be sure you turn the fame off in the game BEFORE your sim starts to earn fame. Once they've already earned fame there is no way to turn the fame system off for that sim, but it can be turned back on for individual sims at any point. So I find it better to just have the fame system turned off from the start in all my saves and turn it back on for those that I feel it would apply to.
Also when playing without mods fame increases fairly slowly for sims who are not in the acting career. You just don't wrack up enough of it doing individual things unless you put a LOT of time and effort into it.
