Heya everybody
I noticed a problem in one of my households. About a month ago I played one sim and managed to get her to level 3 celebrity. I stopped playing her and was busy in other households but totday I wanted to play her and make her at least level 4 celebrity but no matter what I do, the fame won't go higer, it's stuck right before the 4th star. Like in the picture I posted, it's like this since I started to play her today.
I already published 5 singles and earned 4k simoleons while doing the DJ thing, but the fame doesn't go up. The green +fame star will not appear, only if I pose for paparazzi, not by dancing, DJing or updating social media.
Am I doing something wrong?
The sister of her got 5 star celeb in 2 RL days as actress, so I am very confused and need help, please.
Thanks for reading

When you say the +fame star doesn't appear, do you mean that there are no interactions with that symbol? Do you have pictures to show what you're seeing?

As a heads-up, if you use the cheat to freeze fame, it will freeze it both ways. You can't lose it or gain it. I like the idea of freezing it while my Sims go on a vacation or whatnot, but don't do what I did and forget to unfreeze it when you're ready to gain again. ^_^;;
The activities show the + fame but if my sim poses for the paparazzi, a green star appears beside her head, so I know fame gain is going on. I thought it will happen with all activities that provide fame but that seems not to be the case.
Anyways, I really did notice the fame bar jumps here too. I played her a lot today and let her play the DJ in a club for another sim day or so and finally it worked! So floridameerkat is right, it takes a lot longer when not acting.
So I guess I was just too impatient 😅
Thank you katrinasforest for the tip with the fame freezing cheat, I guess I will use it, so she does not drop down at least.
Make sure that your Sim performs the Fame + interactions in front of other Sims! Essentially, an audience, of sorts, is required. Try using the drone to stream, too. I thought that the mod I had installed was interfering with GF because my Sims' first star took all of 20 minutes Real Time to achieve. The second, third and fourth stars seemed to take forever, though. I do know I can get pretty impatient, too, which doesn't help. I have a singer Sim who is now a Global Superstar, but it took seemingly forever. (Overnight successes are never 'overnight'.) He started his rise to fame as a teen and achieved the top position just after he became a YA. I do play on Long, but he was a teen prior to GF being released, and I hadn't played that game save in quite some time. I aged him up (because I age my Sims up when I feel it's time, when I'm playing on Long) so we're not talking about that many Sims' days. It just felt like it.
Good luck and keep plugging away at it.

Be sure to use your perks. The PR Agency can boost fame with either a Good Story or a Bad Story, even if there's no one around. Getting invited to another celebrity's party could also help. Fans can boost your fame if you've chosen the Fan Favorite perk. You can ask them to hype anyone in your household, including yourself (Celebrity/Ask to Hype). This is an easy way to build fame if your Sim has lots of friends.
I did nothing special. I just did her "normal" activities, in her case it was dj-ing and singing, oh and producing music and eventually I reached the next star, but it took me hours. To gain fame without acting really takes a lot of time and patience.
But what I noticed with some other sims, for example my painter; the fame decay is faster that gaining fame with just painting one or two pictures a day. He has to paint A LOT! and sell the pictures to gain fame.
I should let you know, too, that when I re-started this same family in a brand new game save, the teen managed to become a Global Superstar before I aged him up.
I have since restarted them again in another brand new game save using KS Showtime mod, plus Road to Fame (and a few other mods) and using Showtime, the stars were easier to attain than just using GF and RTF. I'm having a blast in this game save, since the last one, my celebrity was unable to attend photoshoots (RTF) to grace magazine covers, and couldn't hold a concert as a teen. He's just now in his second term at uni.
