there will *always* be famous sims if you have any of the lot traits that require them. delete all 12 of the original famous townies and the 5 randomly generated, the game will generate more the next time you go to a lot that has one of those traits, even if you have fame turned off. because the lot trait makes them a requirement, just like bars make bartenders a requirement

the same for paparazzi. if there's a famous sim in the game, paparazzi will be spawned. but you don't have to interact with any of them. famous sims and paparazzi don't detract from anything. usually they'll be in some corner of a building and just kind of mill about amongst themselves. with fans around, but sims can go do whatever they want. or specifically, whatever you want them to do

try removing the fame-related lot traits on all the lots in del sol valley and see if celebs are still showing up. but also remember to delete everyone that's famous (i've given the names of the 12 premades elsewhere. only 5 of those are housed. and there are also 5 randomly generated famous townies with no careers if you go to a lot with one of those fame-related traits)
