Road to fame?

Ok, so I got road to fame installed and so far it's working great! I didn't realise it had a separate fame system than get famous. There are options to enable/disable "road to fame" fame or "get famous" fame, with Get Famous fame being disabled by default it seems. My sim is level 3 fame in "Get Famous" fame (she did acting in the past), and level 0 in "Road to Fame" fame. It says she can become popular by posting on Simstagram, (which is also apparently separate from the Simstagram that comes with the game) I'm ok with her needing to gain fame and followers again, though. So far she's posted a few selfies and now has about 3000 followers. She's also practiced her singing and her HitBeat score is now 49. It said when it reaches 100 she can have a concert. My assumption is that she just needs to practice her professional singing skills and keep licensing lyrics through SimlishCloud. She also had licensed a guitar song via the mailbox before I installed Road to Fame. I'm still figuring out how it all fits together, but it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks again @GalacticGal for your help. (Also, my sim Marlee thanks Erik for being such an inspiration to young stars such as her :) )

I have both RTF fame and Get Famous fame enabled. They do work quite nicely together. Also, one thing I learned about earning fame is to have the artist use a drone. While Erik was busy participating in the Karaoke Contest, he turned on his drone while he was performing. The more people who see our Sims perform, the better the chances to accrue fame. Have your Sim make a Simstagram account through RTF. That also helps. I had Erik learn how to model, too. He also has a 10 in Singing with the game, besides maxing out the Professional Singer. You can have your Sim purchase songs to record for §2500, for five songs. Takes 15 songs to make an album. But once you release an album, the HitBeat points will skyrocket. I also had him use a drone when he performed concerts. Erik always had his parents and 'many siblings' (as he refers to them) attend the Karaoke Contest and that way I could set them to Watch Karaoke. I can tell you are already excited about this mod. You're going to have a blast. One thing that's handy about the Obsessed Fans, is that often they will leave a plate of Ambrosia. At first that made me leery. Message? But Erik just sells them, earning §2500 for each plate. So nice of his fans to help him make albums. LOL

Best of luck!
