I was playing my sim and she just started the social media career and I was doing the different interactions. She had 75 followers and then I uploaded a viral video and her followers skyrocketed to over 1 million. Is that suppose to happen? It just seemed extremely excessive to me.

Oh what! You guys are amazingly lucky I have three sims trying their hand at social media and they have like 675 :disappointed:

Yeah, that happened to me too but I guess it can be realistic.. just think of how quickly all the viral videos on the internet get attention...

Ohh, I've never uploaded a viral video before. My Sim has like 25,000 followers or something right now. That must be something you get as you move up the ranks?

Wow! I played a sim who had a social media career and the most I could get was just 600.

I have a sim who is not even in the social media career who was able to upload a viral video. I think it became unlocked because of his charisma skill which is at level 10. When he did it, he gained 400K followers.

Thanks for the replies! I'm not sure how it unlocked for me. After a day of having a social media account the option came up. It could've been related to her charisma skill but she is still level 1 in her career. She has not got promoted yet. Happy it's not just me. I just thought it was so odd.

Hello :) It is great that you gained so many followers! When your sim reaches level 10 in the charisma skill, like what fullspiral said, you can upload viral videos.

I'm currently playing the career and have no clue how to upload a viral video lol. My sim only has about 1,600 followers
