Hello,
I am intrested in your opinion about packs with celebrities and fame theme. Honestly I have never get TS3 Showtime, but I guess (in relation to all TS1, TS2 and TS4 packs) that TS Superstar is one of the best The Sims expansions ever. Perfect music, style, possibilities, objects and interaction. I am really missing that feeling in TS4 Get Famous.

I prefer Sims 4 in most, but not all, aspects of the game, so it'd probably be that one..
BUT... I really can't say for sure. I don't have the Showtime pack in my Sims 3 game, and it's been so long since I've bothered with the Superstar pack in Sims 2 I barely remember it. I just don't play fame packs much, not my play style, so I'm going to go with other as I don't feel I can judge the older ones.
I love sims 3 but i hated it's fame system. It was much more incomplete and I had to disable it cause every day my sims received very expensive furniture. Every day.
ETA that Im refering to sim's 3 celebrity system that came with Late Night.
I do love the TS4 system, but hate that all fans act like 12 year old girls at a boyband concert. No offence to 12 year old girls, I used to be one. I really don't want to see Bjorn Bjergsen or Marcus Flex act that way. Teens, fine...everyone else, not so much.
Superstar was awesome. My favourite loading music is from that pack. It was so catchy!

The celebrity system was in Late Night, not Showtime EP for TS3. Showtime was all about performance, not celebrity. I actually preferred Showtime for the performance over Late Night's acting career because performing in the various venues was a lot of fun. I wasn't crazy about the world it came with, but placing them in your favorite worlds and customizing them was great!
But then Zerbu came out with his amazing Ultimate Careers mod so the acting career became so much better. You can build your own acting studio lot (especially with The Movies SP) and use the animation player and pose player. TS3 also came with a video camera that your sims can use and then view on TVs or the big screen for the active cinema lot! I think this is one of the few times that the Katy Perry Sweet Treats SP comes in handy too, lol!
Sims 1 Superstar was too much work for me. Keeping needs up was a chore back then, and I just said screw it to making friends, so when you had to travel to studio town and then network? Just no.
Sims 3 Showtime had a lot to offer. I liked the world, the build/buy and gameplay additions, all the careers, etc. Still, the fame system was like a virus in how easily it spread and had a nuisance to put up with for every benefit. It was so much trouble to put up with.
Sims 4 Get Famous is not perfect by any means, but I can actually play a five star celebrity with minor inconveniences. I also love the perk tree and reputation system (the latter being a little basic, but fine enough for me). The quirks get on my nerves a bit, being contagious like Sims 3 fame, but they are a cool idea. Plus the cheats they put in place and opt out systems are great. It also came with a fair bit of high level furniture, so it has to be my favorite.
Toggles help nothing in my games either. Turning them off and they still spawn... both in TS3 and TS4.
I do like the world that came with Get Famous though. A lot of little fun details in there that I like and I like building there.

TS3 is the second best for me. It also had a nice range of activities, but the celebritites themselves were questionable.
TS1 Superstar is the only other celebrity expansion pack I have played, and while I enjoy it, at the same time it was SO HARD to move up in the celebrity status. I remember getting so frustrated by the modeling shoots, and the commercial shoots because I could never get it right to where it was successful. The fact they had legit celebrities in it to meet was kind of fun, too.
