▲There are several ways to become a celebrity and obtain celebrity points to level up to higher status. Once Sims gain celebrity status, it won't decrease or be lost, thus Sims will permanently become a celebrity, unless a cheat is used and the star count is set to zero. Sims who are celebrities have an additional journal in their Simology panel; Celebrity Journal.
Each star of celebrity status requires
▲Each star of celebrity status requires points to earn in order to advance to the next celebrity level. Whenever Sims reach the next level, the points start from 0 again. Below is the list of celebrity levels:

After reaching level 5, Sims can collect a maximum of 10,000 celebrity points.
===Impressing
The first way to become a celebrity is to impress one. Several premade [[neighborhood]]s, such as [[Bridgeport]], [[Barnacle Bay]], and [[Hidden Springs]] already have premade celebrities. Pre-''[[Late Night]]'' neighborhoods, adventure destinations, and [[Starlight Shores]], however, don't have celebrities. If players don't have ''Late Night'', Sims will not be recognized as a celebrity, even if the [[expansion pack]] is installed later.
Sims must greet a 1-star celebrity, as higher star celebrities might reject being greeted. Sims then must impress them
Certain traits of the celebrities will make them easier to be impressed, as long as the traits are related to the skills and careers.<ref>[[Disciplined]] trait does not influence [[Martial Arts]] skill. Furthermore, post-''Late Night'' skills and careers are never updated to the celebrity system, so [[Riding]], [[Alchemy]], [[Science (skill)|Science]], [[Street Art]], and [[Scuba Diving]] skills are not influenced to [[Equestrian]], [[Supernatural Fan]], [[Socially Awkward]], [[Avant Garde]], and [[

===Opportunities===
Sims might occasionally get an opportunity which rewards celebrity points. This usually happens to Sims with [[Star Quality]] trait{{confirm}} or works in performer profession ([[Acrobat]], [[Magician (career)|Magician]], [[Singer]]). Also for Sims who form a [[band]] and perform [[gig]]s.
On occasion, Sims with certain skills may receive a skill opportunity which also makes them a celebrity. This includes skills like Painting, Gardening and Cooking.
Upon reaching level 1 in none of the careers, Sims lose celebrity points. Starting with that level, celebrity status is also a performance factor for Sims to be promoted. This means that working in this [[career track]] guarantees a starting celebrity status. Your Ticket to stardom and a 5 star sim is to have a whoohoo in the elavator▼

Some careers will instantly make Sim a celebrity when certain career level is reached. The careers are Political level 10, Music level 8 for Rock branch or level 9 for Symphony branch, and Professional Sports level 8.

===Making a Relationship===▼
Impressing celebrities provides celebrity points, but befriending them will give extra points. Below is the points Sims will earn, depending on their relationship status.▼
===Offspring of celebrities===
*Friend: 1,000 points▼
When the children of a celebrity grow up to the child stage, there is a 50% chance they will inherit their parents' celebrity status if either one of their parents are celebrities. They will inherit 60-80% of the highest celebrity level of the children's parents. This means that a 5-star celebrity's child may be a 3-star or 4-star celebrity when they grow up.
*Good friend: 500 points▼
*Best friend: 1,000 points▼
*BFF: 1,500 points▼

===Paparazzi===
{{Main|Paparazzi}}
As Sims get more famous, they might be followed by paparazzi. Sims can call them over when they're around to draw attention. They might take photographs of the Sims and even ask for autographs. Paparazzi can also appear in adventure destinations.{{Vgversion|TS3:WA}}
===Public
[[File:FalselyAccused!.png|thumb|300px|A celebrity being falsely accused of being arrested.]] Sims must not expose their bad habits, especially in front of paparazzi. It might cause celebrities to be publicly disgraced. The actions can be exposed even if no one is around. Here is the list of actions that might publicly disgrace celebrities. The chance of being caught by paparazzi is increased in descending sort.
*[[WooHoo]]ing with an [[Life state|occult]]
*Fighting in public
*Demotion
*[[Affair|Cheating]]
*WooHooing in public
*Child out of wedlock
Line 210 ⟶ 220:
*Getting caught rummaging
*[[Detonating]] or smashing public objects{{Vgversion|TS3:A}}
*Biting someone in public (If they are a vampire)
*[[Repo-man|Repossession]]
*Child taken by [[social worker]]
Line 219 ⟶ 229:
*Being falsely accused
Public disgrace will impact all relationships with the Sim negatively. This may cause Sims to lose friends, or even make them disliked. Sims will get "Publicly Disgraced" moodlet for 3 days. While having this moodlet, Sims will be rejected for a discount or freebies, and they will get the negative "Got Recognized" moodlet. There are four ways to shorten the duration of public disgrace.
* Sims can dispel rumors to other Sims, which will shorten the moodlet by ±7 hours. It takes time to dispel rumors to the same person again, but they can dispel rumors to different Sims.
* Sims can sue for slander at the [[city hall]]. The legal fees might cost from §50 to §3,000. The higher a Sim's celebrity level is, the higher the cost. Suing for slander may be successful or failed. If it's successful, Sim's public disgrace will be cleared and they will be given settlement payout of §200 to §10,000, depending on Sim's celebrity level. There's 65% base chance Sims will successfully win the case, and the chance is added by 5% if Sims have [[Lucky]], [[Charismatic]], [[Star Quality]] traits, "Cheery Cherry", and "Lucky Lime" moodlets, or subtracted by 5% if Sims have [[Unlucky]] and [[Loser]] traits. The percentage chance is capped though, so it will not go higher than 80%.
* Sims can pay
* Sims can deflect scandal to other celebrities at the office building. The chance is higher if the Sim has high celebrity level. Both successful and failed outcomes will result in loss of relationship with the target, but the effect is worse for the latter. If the deflection is successful, the target will get the "Publicly Disgraced" moodlet.
==Notes==
* Prior to [[The Sims 3/Patch 38|patch 1.38]], there was no way to disable celebrity system to prevent the player's Sims from becoming a celebrity.
* Public disgrace will still lower relationships even if the Sim has completed the Super Friendly skill challenge.
