Thinking about Getting Famous...
Sul sul, everyone. I own all the expansion packs for TS4 except Get Famous and Eco Lifestyle. After playing the free trial of EL a couple weeks ago, I decided to hold off on buying it for a while....

Oh boy, do I use Get Famous a lot - probably the most. Most of my played sims have some level of fame, though not everyone wants to do much with it. No one has really opted out, but yes, that is an option at a sim level or game level - they just don't earn fame. I use the media station the most, to make videos and the drones. They've fixed a lot of the issues since release, and there are mods if they are still not to your liking if you don't mind them.
Now for the opinion part - I love GF. It's fun, and I like Del Sol Valley - though I mostly just am at Studio PBP. That's where the Starlight Accolades are. I've been to other lots too when invited. Izzy Fabulous is a required character in my game, I just adore him. He's friends with most of my Thorpes atm lol. He's a personality for sure. I like most of the celebrities, Octavia Moon is one of my favorites, same with Brytani Cho. All of them add a little something to the neighborhoods, and I like seeing them jog past or whatever - it's better than Nancy Landgraab doing her 200th pass of my houses lol. I really quite enjoy the whole pack, though I have yet to do the acting career as I'm not a huge fan of active careers.
My sims learn all the skills from the pack though! And they have laid down a lot of music tracks on the music station...and received and lost music deals. I think the pack integrates nicely with the other packs, as there are many ways to get fame other than just the stuff from the pack. My teen sim just got Notable Newcomer for selling three paintings to collectors. There's more I love too, but my brain isn't working so well right now.
If you happen to have MCCC, most of your modding for GF is done already. Just an FYI.
