A celebrities pack could potentially happen?

We already know that Leona Lewis is probably gonna be featured in some way in a future pack.
We also know that bands were cut from City Living.
Could it be that some sort of celebrity / Showtime pack is coming? I could definitely see this as a game pack with a fame system and paparazzi.

I used to enjoy it in TS3.

I have a household that is basically waiting on this. Three generations of entertainers have already been in their family.
I could see this as a GP, possibly more depending on the complexity of the pack (such as world size if included).
forgot how annoying the paparazzi were. the game would definitely be a lot more enjoyable without them.
There was a thing in the options menu to opt your active household out of the celebrity system o-o
Oh well now you tell me lol
Make them film crews instead.
In other words, we could invite these film crews into our Sims' homes (or to community lots) once our Sims reach a certain fame level, and they could film their every move, like a reality show. Being Mean or Mischievous guarantees new viewers (and therefore more fame), but comes at the expense of our Sims' relationships. Consider this the "Big Brother" or "Kardashian" method. More drama = more fame, but only increases it so much. You can't become an "A Lister" just by doing this, you've got to diversify somehow. Marry a (talented) celeb, put out a fragrance or an album... basically it's good for early game, short-term fame, but not for the late game.
We could also showcase our Sims' various talents (playing musical instruments, singing, woodworking, running a business, collecting objects... basically anything already in the game), and we could get a slow trickle of viewers and fame. This is the "Top Chef", "America's Got Talent" or "Antiques Roadshow" method. It's not as dramatic (unless we make it dramatic), but our Sims get some fame out of it, and it's more beneficial in the long term, since our Sims' talents mean they actually have staying power.
Most likely her song will be in a pets expansion but you could be right since we don't know what's coming next quarter.
Its not well advertised lol. Pretty handy though, I hate the celebrity system (Especially that disgraced moodlet I get for doing vampire things, 🐸🐸🐸🐸 racists) but I like a lot of other things in the pack
(I also think it would be cool to have regular Sims be able to form fan clubs for celebrities, but you'd need to have Get Together in order to form clubs, and I haven't experimented with different DLC enough to have a sense of how well new DLC meshes with older DLC if you try to use them together.)
I totally agree. If we do get a celebrating pack or expansion I hope it's more like Superstar was, The Sims 1. I'd like it to be fleshed out well. I would really enjoy a good celebrity option in the game.
Really, it's like they are ignoring the Sims 3 and are paying homage to the previous games lol.
It's a little "too out there", but it makes sense in a way.
I didn't know about the bands thing. I wonder why they cut it from City Living.
Probably because they were already 6 months late and EA was pressuring them to just push it out the door already.
I only played Superstar in the Sims 1. If there was a celebrity pack (and I hope we get one!) I'd prefer fame wasn't based (solely) on relationships. Especially because I really like the career and aspiration aspects of the game. I remember how in Sims 1 I could only ask for autographs over and over again to make a celebrity friend, lol.
