Paparazzi

Paparazzi are a kind of NPC introduced in The Sims 3: Late Night.

They are very much a part of the lives of celebrities, taking pictures of and spreading rumors about them. Paparazzi are only drafted from the pool of homeless Sims; otherwise, they are randomly generated homeless Sims.

Paparazzi can appear anywhere at anytime, and are most often seen outside of clubs. They may sneak into a celebrity's home if the gates are and/or doors are unlocked. Celebrity Sims may also gain a positive moodlet if they are the centre of attention of the paparazzi. However, the Sim may be publicly disgraced if a paparazzo catches a sim having an affair, skinny dipping, WooHooing with an occult etc. and can sue the paparazzo for slander.
