i only just saw the news of get famous as i took a huge break from the sims,
my instant concern was are they going to get fame right this time i watched a video which made it look like a more improved version of sims 1 superstar where you have to actually go to sets and what not which is already an improvement of fame over every other game in the series.
although that seems like it would get repetitive pretty fast just like get to work did
fame has never been the sims strong point would be nice to see them make a decent one

Should you have a sim who becomes famous but didn't want them to you can have that sim just give it all up. You can also go into options and make it so that no sims in the world will become famous and even freeze fame for inactive households.
Edit: As your sims becomes more famous they will be followed by more paparazzi and fans and can earn perks and develope quirks. Perks give your sims more power and help them build fame faster while quirks give your sims more personality for the better or worse.
What people are unhappy about is the world size. 11 lots is pathetic. Some people feel this should be a gamepack, but as for the actual fame system itself, people seem content with it.
Then use cheats...
You can take notes of what trigger the quirks and try to do that thing until your sim has that quirk.
And as told before, you can also use cheats. Just enter testingcheats on, shift-click on your sim, choose "Public image" and you can choose the quirks you want.
I agree with this, not to mention some of the quirks are the most annoying game play features like sims getting juice (Similar to the endless glass of water ) and sims being on their phones all the time.
The fame perks just seem a way to make friends, money and skill build even easier and there’s not much of a challenge as it is.
I think the juice quirk is gonna be hilarious since now the Sims get dazed when they’re drunk (juiced).
Are you sure that isn't a mod?
And yes I think it looks like they are doing Fame really well this time. I've watched lots of videos and read lots about it.
My biggest fears seem to be addressed. You can opt out of fame or even opt the whole save out. Fame won't diminish or increase as you play other houses in rotation. You don't just get it by who you know but in a multitude of ways.. and they seem to actually make sense.
I'm really looking forward to it. If it gets to be too much I can always swing away from it or play an opted out save also. Great to have choices.
You can pick your own quirks by making your sim do the required actions to unlock them. If you want your sim to be an alcoholic, make them constantly drink 'juice' in a short window of time. Want them to be obsessed with their phone? Literally make them use it obsessively to watch videos or play games. I'm actually glad EA chose to push quirks through gameplay instead of making it a boring click. Or, like everyone else said: use the cheat.
I think I might have to cheat up some fame levels on townies and play them long enough to give them bad quirks. I don't really want my sims to be obsessed with phone use. Then again I don't let them use the phone much so I'm safe. I am hoping to have one sim with an obsessed fan.
The trigger actions have to also be done in a short window of time. It's possible to do these actions repeatedly without unlocking the related quirk.
So it appears they will be more easily avoidable than you think. Even if a sim uses their phone all the time, it won't unlock the perk unless they're watching games/videos repeatedly over a short period of time. I also hope that EA has adjusted/disabled some of these autonomous actions to account for quirks.
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm not going to continuously perform an interaction so my sim gets a particular quirk but will just play normally and see what happens. Seems more fun if it happens unexpectedly.
Seasons, when they drank for New Years they’d get dazed. Ever since that pack I’ve been seeing it in Let’s Plays. But I’m not sure if it’s just New Years or not. I’ll have to rewatch one of the videos.
Well I just tried testing it and they didn’t get dazed. I’m really sad. Also the people I watch usually say when a mod is being used
Well being dazed because of drinks you mean. Being dazed itself is in the game from fights, vampire bites, and the bubble machine.
But yeah you’re right. But I don’t remember who it was that I watched, only one or maybe two people I watch would use those kinds of mods. Also isn’t a quirk something to do with drinking a lot? Maybe they’ll bring being juiced in GF.
Yeah, that's what I mean. Dazed from drinking.
Yes, one of the quirks basically let's your sim be an alcoholic so I'm sure they'll be able to officially get juiced.
Personally I think it would even be better if acting wasn't the only celebrity track available like with Superstar, but that's for another day
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
It has been a super long time since I played the Sims 1 Superstar but I am pretty sure I remembered singing as a career and I want to say modeling as well. I remember using the runway. There was a recording studio for singers and the actors got movie sets. It's been so long I don't recall exactly what went on with those.
