Can we have some professionalism, PLEASE?I formed a club to go dancing at venues. One of the members is a 3 star celebrity. We can’t dance because every time the DJ starts to perform they stop after 3 seconds to act ridiculous about a celebrity....I also see on the forum that pizzas never get delivered, maids never show up but you still get charged...Also, when my celebrity DJs, nobody dances because another celebrity shows up so everyone walks away to act stupid about that celebrity....I’m sick of this... I paid money for this content that doesn’t work....

Dancing is pretty much broken. If you allow them to react, things might get back to normal later on, but if you planned to stay just a few hours and not a full day, it's not working well. Restaurants is also troubled with this. Works some times, might depend on the staff's personality and mood?It's normal that regular guests will react to celebrities, but DJs. Hosts and Waiters etc should be acting more professional, one should even expect them to have seen famous people before...We might need a way to keep celebrities away - is there such a lot trait already?

That was why I went in and used a cheat to remove the celebrity part of all the sims, and stopped my game from allowing it. I think I may have a few missed households, but if they show up, I'll make note of them and remove their celebrity status. I would love for the DJ, and other NPC workers to ignore celebrity status.

This is one thing I really hate about celebrities and fame. My Sims can’t go out and do anything anymore if it requires another’s assistance, because that Sim will drop everything they’re doing to obsess.

More so an oversight than it being broken. Bout like me getting an infected sim as a DJ and soon as it hit 1am bye bye brain.If you use mods there are some that address the DJ not being affected or any other NPC by celebrities. Which I hope is addressed in the next patch or so.

A fairly easy solution for it would be a lot trait that keeps celebrities away.

When my sim is in a club (or not) and the DJ walks away to fan over a celebrity.....I just click on the DJ booth and turn the music on and continue dancing.

That's one way to do a workaround. I like it!

I find celebrities annoying for many reasons, the ones that show up on random lots. I do actually quite enjoy playing my celebrity sims.

1, Global Superstars and Proper Celebrities don't belong on random lots such as the common bar or nightclub.
2, The huge over reaction to celebrities by my and other random sims on community lots.
3, Always being forced into the super slow celebrity walk whenever my sim visits a different lot.
4, Celebrities showing up in neighborhoods they don't really suit such as StrangerVille.
5, Paparazzi coming into my celebrity sims home without being invited.

All this, and, if I might add...
6, them being disgusted by everybody, even by their closest of kin, anytime.

Have you tried making a V.I.P. section?

I installed the lesscelebreact mod mentioned earlier and it works perfect to fix my issue.

But I am curious if a DJ in a vip section would react differently that the DJs in the normal section.

In fact, can a hired DJ even bypass the vip door? I tried hiring one to the vip section of a Windenburgh club but the DJ never actually showed up.

Another example of poor game design. I get it, it happens sometimes but this is just one example of many.

The last time I played this game, any lot I traveled to, a celebrity would just show up and have a crowd around them. Every time without fail. I had to really think back because I thought to myself I can't be right I must be exaggerating but no every time. So when a sim gets a text saying "hey you wanna go see a celeb?", it's like why when I can travel to ANY lot and a celeb will waiting to stalk my sim.

Yes, I understand. I use mods to keep my celebs away from bars in Strangerville and other cities. Of course, they come to my swanky nightclubs because I have a lot of them in my game. I also use mods to help tame the reaction to celebs, turn off the celeb walk, etc. I shouldn't have to use mods to keep this annoying aspect out of my game, but that's what I have to deal with.
