Publicly Disgraced...

My Celebrity sims are always being publicly disgraced from false accusations like digging in the garbage or fighting somebody.It's really annoying because what comes with it is heckling,Hate,and being made fun of everytime we step foot out the door and it just straight bugs.Tbh i am not even a celebrity from doing anything.As a matter of fact the only reason i'm famous is because i live in the house with 2 other celebrity folk who are 5 star celebs and in the singing career and i just happen to be really close with another dude.I'm just a local DJ at a club!It seems every week there is some 🐸🐸🐸🐸 rumor going around about us doing something when the ironic thing is we all keep to ourselves.Now i personally wouldn't care if my friends didn't buy into this crap and like 7 people defriend me + Tarnish my reputation around town.Is everybody in town seriously that dim??They'll literally believe anything with no evidence needed..Is there any way to stop the slander??

If your not opposed to mods, there is a way to get rid of the paparazzi, and that really helps in cutting way down the publicly disgraced problems from being falsie accused. I always keep the paparazzi completely out, and my celebrities rarely ever get slammed. It still happens but it is a very rare occurrence.

It doesn't automatically do it, you have to do the settings, but it is easy. It also has animal control as well, incase your interested.
They also have other things over there that help with celebrity problems as well, but I can't recall which one does which.
All the sims err'day
I'll have to check that out, thank you. Do you know where this is located at?
This simmer above is correct and really why turn it off? it is very true to life,besides just pay off the paparazzi and it takes a while to get another scandal.Click on the business towers or business facility depending on the rabbit hole for the payoff option.And to sue for slander in court click on city hall and if you win the case you get a decent payoff,minus lawyer fees but you can also lose the case (again true to life)
It would be a whole lot better, when they win their cases, that it would also improve the relationships lost because of the lie.

Thank you. I just fixed it. I had initially looked at this and decided to leave it as true - then decided I'd never again find where I could change the option. So now since you have given this menu path I took the opportunity to make it false.

@LaBlue0314

keep the paparazzi out
I can't seem to find where to do it

I had the problem playing a Sim in Bridgeport ... Lots of gossip and false accusations.
But then I started dragging them to the courthouse in City Hall and suing the tar out of them.
If you win, you get paid ... If you lose, you pay the court costs.
Which really doesn't matter because you can sue them as many times as it takes until you win and it will always cover any court costs you have been charged by then.
Let them talk about you ... Take their money and let the gossip make you richer along the way.
.
THank you so much @LaBlue0314
It is another built in EA "Cash Cow" if you sue them for slander.
You can make more money suing the people talking trash than you can working your job.
And ... Who cares what your fair-weather friends may think?
Your best friends don't care ... And the friends my Sims have that don't know me better or want to think the worst can "hit the road" for all I care.
.
I didn't know best friends didn't care by the way, that's good.
Getting discounts at stores and restaurants, and the free things manufacturers send you for being a celebrity. I usually play with celebrity turned off too, but now and then I like to have it turned on for a change. Of course, there are quite a few settings in NRaas mods having to do with the celebrity system, and even when I have it on, I always have it modified from the way EA designed it to work. I even cheat around some parts of it, when it doesn't make sense the way it's set up.
My current sim in Hidden Springs just married Liam O'Dourke. His closest friend is Sebastian Vanderburg. Only a total snob, which Sebastian is not, would go to a close friend's wedding and refuse to speak with the friend's new wife unless she impresses him, especially when she's also a friend of his own wife, and best friends with his sister, who is her coworker. I bypassed this nonsense by making them friends with Master Controller before she spoke to him. I also sometimes use Retuner to set it so sims won't follow my sims home from community lots, or constantly interrupt them in public asking for autographs. It's not nearly so annoying when you make some changes in the way the celebrity system works.
And, like TadOlson, I also sometimes disable accusations for certain things, like detonating things in public when I was playing an inventor. Of course, the time he did get disgraced, before I disabled that, another sim came and stood right behind the trash pile after he had placed the explosive, and got badly singed from it. But that wasn't my sim's fault.
You aren't going to lose a best friend over slander ... And you can sue them until you win the case.
My Sims never have a goal to be filthy rich ... They just always end up that way no matter what they do.
You have to want your Sim to be disadvantaged in an active household for them to actually stay that way.
I have done a lot of challenges, but most of the time they are not appealing because there is nothing to becoming successful in the game.
All you have to do is want to be successful and there are plenty of ways to make millions available in the game without cheating.
I mean dang ... In my active game, the twins who are in "child stage" both already bring home more than 5k a week in royalties from books they have written ... One has written two Best Sellers.
The Public Disgracing obstacle is either an anchor if you choose to tie it around your neck ... Or a reason to go lay on the beach instead of going to work if you don't care.

I actually have two, the first being the children who get slammed, they have no way of fighting back. They or their parents can't sue anyone on their behalf. The second being that even though a sim does win in court, that does nothing for all the hits they take with their relationships, including animals. I mean why does Fido care if his owner decided to go through someone's trash, it if were true, Fido would love to help their owner's out. Animals don't care about all that celebrity stuff, just that they have love and care needed to keep them happy.
I also lost patience with the Public Disgrace scenarios and switched those off long ago, but only because the game engine kept generating more and more of them on my large households. I don't really care what others think of my sims so much, but it couldn't possibly have been intended that the nice, well-behaved ones should have to deal with those several times a day, every day. It really felt like something was misfiring. Could have looked for ways to tune that back, possibly with the Retuner mod, but never got around to it.

I didn't know you can do this. If you don't mind, where are the settings to make this possible? I too think it's quite lame that everyone is a celebrity, and would love to knock it down to just a small handful of truly famous sims (like sports players, and actors, such as Matthew Hamming and Richie Striker).
NRaas > SP > General Options > Options:Friendships > Options:Celebrity > Celebrity Ratios (1 though 5)
These are the caps I mentioned, as a percentage of total world residents. The defaults are 100/50/25/12/6. I'm still experimenting with this, but am currently trying things like 10/5/3/2/2. Being that strict might not work so well in Starlight Shores, but in Riverview I don't really need 200 celebrities out of a world of 205 residents. Makes things feel a lot less "special."
