Studio Town

Studio Town is the sub-neighborhood introduced in The Sims: Superstar. The theme of this neighborhood is of "The Golden Age of Film," in which the neighborhood creates an atmosphere reminiscent to Hollywood during the '40s and '50s of the twentieth century.

The neighborhood is the home of the Fame career track, and the player must visit it on a daily basis to improve or keep their fame level. Each 2 or 3 lots in Studio Town have a certain theme, and share almost the same objects required to advance in Acting, Fashion or Music.

Townies
The townies in Studio Town are divided into the Somebodies and the Anybodies, and are randomly generated at the start of each game. The game will constantly replace them, unless a playable Sim knows some of them. The Somebodies are famous, and normally wear high fashion clothing. They provide Sims who are in the Fame career track with famous people to befriend, as Sims in that career track need to have famous friends with strong star power in order to advance. The Anybodies are usually tourists in Studio Town. If the played Sim is famous, they will play the role of fans, asking for autographs, talking about their admiration for him/her, etc. Having good relationships with the Anybodies is the best way to keep the Obsessed Fan away, though the number of friends who are Anybodies is irrelevant to the Fame career track. Neighborhood Sims will not appear in Studio Town unless they are on the Fame career track.

 * 85 Studio Town Drive, Studio Town Center
 * Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the Aphrodite Spa or, for more lively diversions, check out the Saki Nori Sushi Bar where the Karaoke party never ends.


 * This lot is a large lot that is more of a hang out spot and a place to fill motives than a place to earn fame. The only item that involves fame is the stage. However, there are many other things for Sims to do such as buying High Fashion, going for a swim, and getting a massage, among many others.


 * 86 Studio Town Drive, Buckingham Galleries
 * Fine art and fashion, pillaged from the far corners of SimCity, and housed on-site at Mr. Buckingham's private design studio. "Anyone can be an artist", says Buckingham... "I'm living proof."

 * 87 Studio Town Drive, Music for the Eyes Inc.

 * As the name suggests, this lot is more of a place where Sims can have fun, but it can be a good place for beginning celebrities because there is a karaoke stage and an Open Mic Stage. There are many leisure activities for Sims, such as playing pool and watching TV.


 * 89 Studio Town Drive, The Gast District
 * How about a little taste of Europe, without having to go any further than Studio Town? Chic shopping, round-the-clock fashion shows, and a spa that never closes. Ciao!


 * This is a large lot aimed at Sims who want to be models. To earn fame, Sims can have a photoshoot or walk the catwalk. There are many other things on this lot such as a smoothie bar, a sushi bar, an Aquatic Playhouse and 3 rooms that sell High Fashion clothes.

Each lot consists of specific items either dealing with acting, singing, or modeling. It is also easy to identify which lots contain these specific items by looking at their exteriors. For example; lots that deal primarily with music have black-bricked exteriors, lots that deal with modeling have white-stone exteriors with blue roofs, and lots dealing with acting have beige stucco exteriors with yellow roofs. The only exception is Studio Town Center, located in the middle of Studio Town, which has a different exterior, and therefore deals with multiple careers (mainly for "beginning" actors and/or singers). Some lots also contain features unrelated to these careers, such as spas, sushi bars, and poster shops.
