Rotation play and losing fame

Hmm. Are you talking about sims in the same household?

In other words; currently unplayed households don't lose fame but each of the sims in a current played household can lose fame?

I have about 5 households I’m rotating around playing, so while I’m playing household 1. The other four stay the same fame level if I see them out and about. But when I switch to one of my other households, say household 2.
I immediately start getting notifications that the sims in that household are fading from spotlight and from there I have very little time to have them do something to retain their fame. Or they lose a star.

That might be worth posting to AHQ about, in case it's not as intended. http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs

Sounds like it's only the active household that is affected. Would be worse if it was those not played.

I don't have GF yet, but maybe the warning is like the warning "NN is freezing to death". Originally I thought my sim was dieing, but it turned out there is plenty of time to avoid the tragedy. Does anyone know how long the famous sim has to fix the fame status? If it's enough to post a selfie, I'd say it's not a big deal.

Bummer, that seems like a bug if it's that quick. That's disappointing. I've been surprised at how quickly my sims lose fame in general but I haven't played much yet to get a feel for how it truly works yet.

I'm not in my rotation save at all at the moment. I have had various members in the household get such pop-ups. Doesn't seem to matter how fast I act, there's no saving that base star. Heavy sigh. I guess my Rising Star will have to be it. He's going gang-busters.

Your note spose to loose fame when you switch households, or gain fame, the fame timer will start ticking as soon as you are back though usually give you 24 hours in sim time.

This is disappointing. I play rotationally, and I have a couple households with different levels of fame. I don't want their fame to decline just because I'm not playing them. I wonder if it's just a bug or if that's how they intended it? Hopefully one of the gurus can clarify :/

I don't play rotationally, but I had that popup for one of my Sims, and the very next day she went up a star.

Mine's the same way. I have to constantly do "Fame" stuff at least twice a day or else I start getting notifications of my sim's fame is fading away.
