So, the way this system is currently set up, my sim who wants to be a famous actress is losing celebrity faster than she can gain it. With auditions being 1-3 days before a gig, and at least a day before they go to the audition after a gig, by the time the gig pops up, she's already lost all the celebrity status she had before the gig. So my question is, how do some of you keep celebrity status up between gigs? Its frustrating because I didn't want my sim to be a painter or a social media guru, I wanted her to be an actress. Even with performing scenes in public, it seems very very hard to gain celebrity status without dipping into other types of celebrity. So I'm just curious how some of you do it. :)**I'm heading to work now and won't be able to answer til morning. Thanks in advance for your suggestions, advice, insight, etc...**

Would you mind having your sim sing in public or updating social media? That would help some. Make sure there area lot of sims around when you perform in public, invite a bunch of friends. Streaming with a drone while performing and interacting with the paparazzi helped me.

I have my fame-seeking sims visit the Orchid-go-go in DSV quite often, where they partake in introducing themselves to every sim possible; I also have them perform in public whether it be a acting a scene, telling jokes or playing an instrument. I also have them update their “simstagram” on their phone constantly or wherever they visit.

Do they have a high level in some skills? Such as gardening they can blog on tips for gardening and it offers some fame points. Or sell some stuff, Iirc when my sim was selling plants it offered some fame point,not totally sure on that one though

Have her stream in between gigs, it gains you fame and followers much faster than just posting pictures.

A selfie a day can keep the fame decrease away~In my earlier stages of celebrity status for a sim I tend to update their profile and such a few times in-between when doing the acting gig to keep the fame level stable.

Simstagram each day on the phone, that seems to do the trick.

For my Actor sim, he would always post pictures on simstagram, and would constantly update social media. I also held meet and greets about once a week. When you get the chance to donate money, I'd do that too. Doesn't hurt to try other things like writing a book or even singing since a lot of celebrities do more then one thing anyways.

Do streaming, or my fav one is doing DJ-ing (this one shot my sim to 5 star, I would say in about 2 real life hours).

You could stream, maybe streaming while practicing acting in a mirror just to keep it connected. Or recording videos then using the video station. I do a kind of reality tv thing. Chronicling the life of an up and coming movie star.
