    Have you guys considered adding a Singing branch to the Entertainer career? That would tie in well I think :)

    The only careers that we know of so far (until more info flows) is acting (no info on directing yet) and an internet influencer. There will be a fashion stylist in the free patch. This pack also can bring fame to any jobs or skill your sims have if you wish. Children can not become actors but can join a kids drama club. They can also gain fame, especially being kids of famous sims. Pets can not become actors either.

    There is no music career because a music career came in the base game and the singing skill came in CL. If your sim is in the music career, they can write music and license it and earn money and fame from busking. As their fame rises, they will earn more money. At this time there is no recording studio or concert stage (but you can make one), but I hope these are added in the near future along with bands.

    A recording studio could be used by singers but also by actors voicing cartoons or radio ads or politicians making campaign ads, etc. It could have many uses that tie in to other careers. I'm hoping they want to really flesh the recording studio more than before so it will come in it's own pack or a pack where it will be a better fit like a band pack.

    There is a ton of info from guru tweets in the guru tweets thread. Most all of your questions can be answered there.

    This is a copy of the Origin description.

    KEY FEATURES

    Claim Your Fame – Now your Sims can live out their wildest dreams of fame and fortune! Rise to stardom in your current career, or catapult to fame with a new pursuit. Bask in the limelight as an aspiring actor or livestream your every moment as an influencer. But remember, the more famous your Sims become, the more attention, perks, and starstruck fans they will attract. Becoming rich and famous can be unpredictable, but whether you make it rain or burn through your Simoleons, you’ll never look back once you’re living that VIP lifestyle.

    Act the Part – Be your own muse and direct your Sim toward a brilliant acting career. Get your big break with commercial gigs or land a part in a television series. When your Sims go the extra mile studying lines and wearing unique costumes, all that hard work might lead to a starring role in the next big blockbuster.

    Run This Town – Join the glitz and glamour of Del Sol Valley, a new world where your Sims are the talk of the town. Get a starter home in Mirage Park or work your way up to a house in the hills in The Pinnacles. Score a legendary diamond on Starlight Boulevard with your Sim’s name on it, and you’ll be the talk of the town in no time.

    Live a Lavish Lifestyle – Get noticed around town in chic streetwear or dress the part with glamorous outfits on set. As your Sim’s status skyrockets, you gain celebrity perks. Decorate a gorgeous mansion with gold-plated furniture and take home a unique set piece to put on display as a tribute to the golden age. . . of you.

    they are indeed costumes. the first one is based on 'creature from the black lagoon' and is seen in various color swatches in different places. here it is in the trailer, the actress in the costume having lunch with other actors from different movies/shows:

    if there were actually going to be lifestates in the pack, it would have been mentioned already

    dem chaps doe

    Are townies in the other worlds going to be seen out in these outfits?

    If our chef sims become famous, can they do a sort of cooking show (or at least, maybe use a movie backdrop) ala Julia Child and other cooking celebrities?

    I don't know, but I want to make a famous chef like Julia Child or Bobby Flay and put on a cooking show on TV. If I can't do it at the movie studio, then, if the items like the camera and lights are in build/buy, then I'll build a small local TV studio for local shows and maybe the News, Sports and weather. It all depends on whether or not those thing work (or can just be used to "decorate" a studio, it is all pretend anyway). Time will tell. Maybe the Live Streams will tell us.

    Here’s hoping those items are functional, so we can do this! :smile: I don’t mind doing some workarounds as long as the items can work and it looks pretty close to what I want to do.

    Hopefully the future live-streams or info tweets tell us something about how the current careers can be affected by the fame system.

    Maybe the livestream that is going in depth about Fame & Reputation will go explain some of the non-movie-career stuff?

    This expansion really looks interesting. I'm looking forward to it. This is my first post. I'm making an effort to move my social media from politics to Sims. Better for my nerves. Now I just have to think of stuff others would find interesting. If you want to take pity on my new sims twitter account and give me a follow @sims4marish . Again, still trying to think of content, but I promise it won't be politics. :p

    It looks interesting but some of the hairstyles look like wigs :D ...or is it just me?

    My guess is that the periwig and the Marie Antoinette style in the render with the pirate ship are both wigs. I hope they come in different colors, though, because they really should be white to reflect the fact that they've been powdered.

    I have a question which I'm not sure if anyone will be able to answer (I might just have to wait till it comes out). So we know that Sims can become famous in a variety of ways (acting, writing, cooking...) but I'm wondering if that fames looks different. Aka I feel like a famous actor gets different perks and is treated differently then say a famous writer or a famous archeologist (it was confirmed by a guru that you could become famous this way with Jungle Adventure installed). For instance, it makes sense for crowds of people and paperazzi to follow a famous actor around while it wouldn't be that realistic for sims to be freaking out quite so much if say a famous archeologist was present. Just a thought!

    The more I hear about the celebrity system, the more I like it! Reminds me of the Vampire system which I thought was very fun and complex. Everything I am hearing is definitely encouraging and is placating my initial hesitation.
    Just keep simming

    I think there is in real life, a definite difference between the acting profession and almost any other "normal" type careers. I think that is brought over from RL to the game. You don't see red carpets for an accounting awards dinner. I think the entire acting community is a vain group, but that's fine. It's entertainment so it's allowed.

    I can't wait. While I did not care for the fame system in Sims 3, I did love The Sims Superstar. Lol. Can't wait to try this one out.

    I would have preferred a Witches GP or University EP but with several more years of content in the works I'm hopeful they'll show up eventually. I'm most excited about my sims having an alternate route to fame without making everyone actors.

    I have two clubs in mind. One with a famous culinary sim who'll give cooking demos to her fans. Another with an author sim who'll schedule book signings and readings. Bobby Flay and J.K. Rowling. :)

    I have an author who wrote a collection of books about a boy named Henry Porter. He'll be doing book signings (or autographs) too.

    I want to have a TV cooking show with a chef sim. I can't decide to go with my version of Gordon Ramsey or Juliet Child.

    Definitely Ramsey. That would be hilarious. I can just imagine his Sim version in a chance card yelling at a new employee that their Tilapia is raw...

    I wish this had come out in my OG legacy generation, but I'm excited to implement it into my current saves! Got a few Sims in mind who could benefit from this. I wonder if it will cross over in any other expansions - such as being a social media star or famous musician!

    @stellanova you can indeed be famous in both of those careers (and just with the skills if you prefer the sim not having those careers) as well as with many more careers and skills (but not all)

    Oh that is awesome! I can see this adding a larger dynamic to my Sims' careers and how their interests will pertain to their 'fame' panning out. Neat, thanks for letting me know :)

    Also, sorry for double-posting (can't seem to edit my post) - I would love to explore the idea of being 'infamous' or a celeb who went from being adored to hated quickly. What a neat storyline....

    i'm already planning on making johnny zest again (this time as an actual member of the landgraab household) and playing out his falling out with his parents then moving out and getting disowned. he's going to make it big in the valley, just to spite his parents. and then it'll be him snubbing them! (he got deleted way early on because i needed more lots to build on but i always wanted to give him the family ties mentioned in his bio and play his story. this is the perfect time for that)

    also going to have my half-alien vampire social media starlet become famous, as well as penny pizzazz (she's got billboards all over san myshuno, after all). and plotting on cheating up at least one of my npc djs to be famous, once we find those cheats for that. ...and so many others, at least one famous chef, the headmaster of my stellar academy would have been a famous astronaut before taking his position and...too many to name, but i don't want to overdo it on fame. and definitely don't want everyone who gets any to max it out
