I hope the fame differs depending on what kind of fame your sim has.
For instance a famous politician isn’t going to garner the same type of attention as a famous actor or musician. A social media star would get more attention from a younger fan base. A famous rich family wouldn’t necessarily have paparazzi following them but would be very well known and would be getting into all the hotspots and parties. A famous chef would make a dinner party a huge hit but people aren’t going to be dressing like him or her and so on.
It seems from the comments of the gurus so far there are different levels of fame and various ways to get famous, I just really hope types of fame plays a huge role too.
This is why I really hope the system is like the vampires because all of those things you mentioned could be considered 'perks.' It could allow variation in the type of attention, fame (or infamy) our sims experience. We already know that dressing like our sims is a perk, so there are definitely more perks to be revealed.
Whats the vampire system like, I don't have the pack?
Vampires can do certain interactions, like feed on other sims or do a dark meditation, to earn points while they work their way to next level. Once they do enough interactions, they level up. Each level unlocks different powers, and some have different levels (ie energy drain speed and sunlight resistance). You also have to pick at least one negative power each time you level up. This system means that we can have vampires with different strengths and weaknesses, and, if for some reason you don't want them to, it's actually pretty easy not to level vampires up.
That's a pretty basic explanation, but hopefully it makes sense. If the celebrity system is like the vampire system, it will let us have unique celebrities with different "perks and quirks," as they're calling them. That way, not every celebrity will behave or be treated the same way.
