Cleanup The Sims: Superstar

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

They are very much a part of the lives of celebrities, taking pictures of them and spreading rumors about them. Paparazzi are only drafted from the pool of homeless Sims; otherwise, they are randomly generated homeless Sims. In some cases, like in Sunset Valley, they can become unemployed neighbors.

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 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/paparazza catches a sim having an affair, skinny dipping, WooHooing with an occult etc., and can sue them for slander. Suing a Sim will cost money, and if the case is lost, all the money invested will be lost with it. However, if a Sim wins the case, they will make a large profit.
