[GF] Paparazzi autonomously treat service-Sims as celebrities

Paparazzi spawn on community lots (e.g., gyms, bars, lounges) and surround service-Sims (e.g, bartenders, masseurs) as if they were celebrities.

FWIW, I first noticed this behavior in a save created with default configuration changed so that Sims start out of the spotlight — due to another bug, the whole save had no actual celebrities, as per this report [GF] Premade sims don't have any fame level | EA Forums - 11870272 

After changing the configuration back to the default, the save started spawning randomly generated townies with actual fame, but the paparazzi still behave as if all service-Sims are celebrities. 

On a related note, the default celebrities with no fame due to the linked bug report still attract paparazzi. For example, Thorne Bailey playing guitar at the Orchid a GoGo will be surrounded by paparazzi and autonomously pose for them, despite having no fame. However, a paparazzo spawning in any bar will go towards the bartender and perform his animations of calling out and taking photos as if the bartender were a celebrity.

  • Same! It's not just on bar tenders, it's just random sims even though no celebrity sims are on the lot. I'm seeing it on all lots except on wedding venues. I'm on Mac

  • Same here—the paparazzi always spawn at the bar and treat the bartender like a celebrity, constantly taking photos.
