Celebrity sim couldn't eat at restaurant because of "Listen of Fan" interactions

«1
Does this happen to anyone else? My sim will get up from his table because the waiters kept spamming the "listen to fan" interaction. I had to bag my meal and eat it at home; otherwise, he'd never finish. Is there a way to get past this?

In a way, it's kind of realistic that this would happen to a celebrity, but the part where they stop eating their meal and stand up seems like an oversight.

    That's interesting. I've taken celebrities out to eat a few times now but I haven't seen this happen yet. Maybe putting on the disguise would help?

    Oh yeah, I forgot about this disguise. I'll try that next time, thanks.

    I have this too, my celebrity can’t dance at a club either because the DJ always leaves to ask for her autograph or faint.. I just downloaded a lot trait mod to prevent other Celebrities from entering a lot and causing this issue. I’m going to test that, plus add a disguise to my celebrity Sim and see if it works.

    My Global Superstar generally will get up, plate in hand. He does get to eat … sometimes. Sometimes, this happens:

    No wonder he's so trim. LOL

    Waiters shouldn't do it, but other patrons yes, and it is very realistic.

    Two solutions, either build them a VIP section to eat, or wear your disguise.

    I guess my celebrity Sim wasn't too imaginative. In the pictures I posted, that's the disguise he chose!

    How would you do the VIP? @Zeldaboy180

    My guess is that you would have to add on a room to the restaurant and use the rope and a bouncer to keep others at a safe distance.

    @GalacticGal how do you add the bouncer? or does one automatically appear to the rope?

    Galactic was right, just build a little room off to the side with the VIP rope and bouncers will automatically spawn.

    I did this to a couple higher end restaurants.

    I'm seriously considering building a wedding venue and using the VIP rope (thanks for the name, my mind blanked out for a moment). That is IF my Global Superstar can find the right female. He's got at least four under his romantic interest list, although he hasn't dated them all at the same time. One was a teen, and I had to use MCCC to reset their relationship to friend, but that didn't remove her from said list. One is Bella Goth. I did the same thing to change them to friends, only. He broke it off with Leila, got engaged to her again and then he finally realized it just wasn't going to work. Broke it off for the final time. He's got a gal currently, that he's taken on at least two dates (might be three) but has yet to even ask her to be his girlfriend. Taking it slow, this time. We'll see if he makes it down the aisle before he's an Elder. LOL I play on Long, which is a good thing. :open_mouth:

    Glad I could be of help. ;)

    Yep, but the waiter would only bother my celebrity once and never again. The other people in the restaurant don't seem bothered by a celebrities presence.

    Bailey-Moon family came in and was seated a waiter came up and asked Octavia for a selfie and then went about his business. Tested this a few times and same thing. Sometimes they don't even bother if they don't have enough downtime if the restaurant is fairly busy.

    Well, the expansion is fairly new anyway. It could still use a bit of balancing.

    The mod called Celebs undercover does work great for this issue! It’s a lot trait that prevents fans and paparazzi from showing up on the lot. It’s really great for outdoor venues since you don’t need the door with the bouncer or anything. I added it to a restaurant along with the celebrity hot spot trait, and it worked wonderfully.. I had an entire restaurant filled with Celebs only and the staff so far hasn’t stopped to cause any issues either. It’s on LittleMSSam’s tumblr if anyone wants it.

    I like Celebrities EXCEPT their entourage of Fans and Paparazzi make it impossible to have or visit a restaurant. It's chaos. Maybe we need a way to keep Fans and Paparazzi out of certain locations.

    This makes me not want to get GF. And it's on sale right now lol I was really bent on getting but I keep reading about celebrities messing up certain locations... Like retail and now restaurants...

    That's a real problem. I downloaded a mod by Little Ms Sam that adds a lot trait to keep out Fans & Paparazzi and it works great. But I do wonder why they did not think to add it to the game. Crowds of fans and paparazzi are not only annoying but also not appropriate for all venues.
    If I just posted an outfit you like, I have good news - there is more where that came from!

    I second this. I also use that mod and it works wonders to prevent celebrities, paparazzi and fans from spawning on lots you assign the trait too. This method is quite healthy, as it won't do anything other than prevent their generation inside those lots only. If you are not against using mods, and you have GF, definitely give it a try.

    This is a problem. In fact, I have to put my celebrity Sims in disguise if they choose to run a retail store. However, this option doesn't last long as the Sim becomes more famous. I finally had to give up the store because it was too much of a pain as they try to wait on customers but have paparazzi and fainting fans chase them around their store! I hope they can add some kind of adjustment for this. Also, the celebrity Sims pay level doesn't seem to match the level of celebrity fame they achieve so it's challenging for them to live among the "rich" Sims in the small world that came with the game. That's why it would have at least helped to have a middle class type of lots and a higher pay for the Acting career ladder. In real life, the more famous you become, the bigger your paying gigs become. Sometimes in the millions.

    Restaurants seem to function just fine with celebrity sims in my experience. Sims stick to what they're doing and it's always a waiter that will usually ask for a autograph or selfie get it (or be rejected) and they go back to what they're doing. Works a lot better than celebrities a the dance club for sure. Sim stays the uusal time they do at the restaurant without much trouble.
    Sims arene't hovering all over the table that has a celebrity at them. Poked around a few different places and still getting the same results.

    I was finding it more difficult myself, to keep things flowing smoothly with high level celebrities showing up (guests chatting them up, the occasional waitress).

    So I made a lot trait that automatically disguises NPC celebrities who show up. So far in my playing with it, it seems to do exactly what I want... if they show up, they get treated like regular sims.

    I don't know if we're allowed to link to mods here, but here's a link to it:

    https://triplis.github.io/mods/lot-traits.html


    And if someone wants to use LittleMsSam's mod for it that others were talking about, I believe it's here:

    I know some people don't use mods, but for those who do, I wanted to share.

    @Triplis very nice. That'll be especially useful when my sim hosts a celebrity meet n greet and I tend to get celebrity Sims that show up uninvited and take the attention away.

    I found the force to leave mod useful to get rid of Sims I didn't want there and useful for vampire break ins.

    I read before people complaining about get famous when it comes to Sims going crazy over celebrities, so I got use to disabling my game packs for certain play throughs plus I got Sims 3 a while back and fine it better in that regard
  • SarahsShadySarahsShady Posts: 963 Member
    I'm having the same issue. Can't even get a table at any spot a celeb is at.. & they are everywhere. I rely on mods so much already, I just hope the devs will patch this prob.
