I'm sure we all have quite a few questions about the upcoming pack. Here are some of mine:
How hard (or easy) is it to become famous? For example, does your Sim automatically get star points as he or she rises through the chef (or any other) career?
Approximately how many other NPCs will be added at the film studio? In the trailer, I saw the stylist, a director, a bunch of other actors and various other workers (including, probably, a gaffer and a best boy).
Are all the film sets available all the time at the studio or do they change depending on what your Sim is doing?
I forgot this one: Will the costumes be immediately available in CAS or will they unlock as your Sim moves up the acting career ladder?
I'm really looking forward to this and can't wait to learn more. Actually, I can't wait to get my hands on it, but for now my addiction will be satisfied with more information.
Answer: SimGuruGraham has sent out a couple of tweets on how Sims who are not in the acting career can become famous. Your Sim can achieve fame through some careers, and some skills, like singing and dj mixing. At the same time, if you don't want a Sim to become famous, there are ways to avoid that. You can find his specific tweets in
this thread by
@luthienrising.
For people who are concerned that the fame system will be like it was in TS3, SimGuruGraham has tweeted:
We took a lot of lessons from what players didn't like about celebrities in Sims 3 when considering how fame progression would work in Sims 4.
SimGuruGraham has confirmed that pets will not become famous.

Also is there photobooths?
That may be a saving grace for this pack, as I have no interest in returning to the celebrity system in Late Night.
I literally play this music above when playing Sims 4! Cozy and Fuzzy

I don't know about the vet/business owner, but I did see you can become a famous writer/chef/etc. So I think that painter & photographer might line up with that.

It is interesting to have acting as an active career... I would like to see how the NPC interacts with my Sims/the movie set.. I hope that they are more interactive than the one we have in the existing active careers..
I want to know what counts to make the Sims famous? For example, as a writer, we can sell excellent books... but, how will this count towards the point? Or painter? Or Doctor - number of patients cured? Astronaut - number of space missions completed? Business - the high ROI? How does this profession gain followers? Do they need to be on the social media too?
And the more Simoleons the Sims have, they could unlock secret interaction... will it apply to the rest of the household members too?
Are we going to have another panel like "fame point"? will it be optional/like the calendar & club system
I did ask Sim Guru Kate about the Drama Club for kids/teen - I would like to know if it is an active club and not a rabbit hole club like the scout.. No answer yet, up till to this writing..
Since, they are going to have 2 extreme neighbourhood.. will the Sims can live in the Pinnacles after they become rich & famous only?
if only the rich & famous can get into exclusive clubs/events... how does the bouncer ID the Sims?
How is the screen play decided for the Sims? Will it be unlocked depending on the career level? I see lots of different sets from wild wild west, pirate ship, cuddly freezer bunny, etc...
Is the talent agency is another business option for retail? Say, if I want my Sim to open a talent agency...
There will be a special cameo of Baby Ariel, will she be a permanent resident or just like like Jasmine Holiday?
ETA: How do we turn skills into something that can make the Sims famous? Like singing, dancing, DJing?
Edit: never mind, just found out they can't

Do we get fame related events such as book signings for authors at libraries/book shops, exhibitions for artists at museums/arts centres, press conferences for politicians at private homes or in uptown etc?
Can we buy copies of books our sims write and get them signed by the author as a fan? Do our musician sims "written songs" get played on the radio? Do our actors commercials/shows/movies get shown on the TV or at cinemas?
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
Do certain Sims care more about certain types of celebrities? For example, would a bookworm Sim care more about running into a famous author? Or an art lover care more about a famous painter?
Also, if kids can become famous to some degree (as SimGuruKate stated on twitter) that implies that it's not only career success that can bring fame. Can Sims become unintentionally famous, or is it something that you have to intentionally opt into?
One of the livestreams is titled "Fame and Reputation". Is "reputation" a separate system from fame, or do they tie together? Will even non-celebrity Sims now have a reputation? (I guess we'll have to watch that livestream to find out the answer there.)
