What do you think of Get Famous?

It wouldn't have been my first choice, but the pack is growing on me as I learn more about it. But I still think I will wait until a sale to get it.

I really not that impressed with the game it looks neat but I wish they would of came out with an actual vacation expansion pack or like a university pack I think we would have benefited from one of those more. I like the vacation pack like the fist sims had, it had a pool/beach place and like a ski lodge and camping place that was so inventive. if they came out with college that would be great too but we will see.

I’m skeptical on it. It might have potential but that trailer was weak. Hopefully the next one they release doesn’t feel like Barbie goes to Hollywood.

Haha, now there's a thought. :) Maybe I'll have a Barbie and Ken couple for my neighborhood.

I really did, I loathed Superstar. It was the only TS1 expansion I regretted buying. There was virtually nothing about it I found fun. It felt grindy and boring.

Felt the same way. I loved the concept, but just like the Sims makin' magic it was VERY grindy and you can lose stars easily. (Then again the first sims game was always grindy.) and I really disliked the celebrity system in the Sims 3 because it was so borked and the majority of sims were gaining celebrity status left and right.

This sounds like there's a way better balance and stardom isn't forced on sims just cause. I like the fact that the pack carries onto other careers and skills for sims to have other ways to be pretty renowned that doesn't have to be acting. Usually don't care for fame related packs, but this has definitely caught my interest. Probably due to my interest in the old Lion Head PC game 'The Movies'.

With the current Knowledge we have about the expansion. It comes across as a downgrade from showtime and a rehash of the late night Celebrity system which got old fast. As has been said we have got little to no information on how it works with the other careers. And I'm not that interested in my sims being actors (I have always been about the singing career). I would have to see how the system interacts with the other careers first. And to be clear it would have to have some meaningful reactions and not just sing publicly get 5 fame points. The way this is being marketed also strikes to many similarities to Cats and Dogs, as being a cut-down version of an old expansion (Sims Showtime) that will lead to multiple stuff/game packs to get the other careers which I am not on-board for.

Very excited for this EP!!!!

I really loved Superstar so I'm optimistic, but it depends how all the details work out. How the paparazzi and body guards work, how kid/teen fame works (is it only drama club and parent's fame? Other options would be nice too), if the acting career isn't just a few pre-set scenes, how being famous in other careers work, etc. I also want to see how fame works for things that are hobbies/skills and not careers.

Not really my type of gameplay, but as a socal native I want the world. I'll probably pick it up on discount before too long.

You know what I like about these topics is seeing everyone saying "I'm not really excited, might get it but not on day one." Then coming back a few weeks later after the live streams and seeing ppl change there mind because of some cool new feature we didn't know about until then.

I don't really get what it introduces? A couple of active careers maybe? It looks beyond bland to me and far more like a stuff/game pack.

Happy for the people who are excited for it though! I guess it just doesn't suit my game play.
