A Sim's celebrity status ranges from 1 to 5 stars. Players can tell whether a Sim is a celebrity or not by hovering the pointercursor atover the Sim. The celebrity level will be displayed along with their namesname. Sims cannot socialize automatically towith celebrities. Ordinary Sims and lower-level celebrities must greet and impress them first in order to unlock social interactions with them. Sims who meet celebrities at work don't need to impress them, though. The '''Map to the Stars''' [[lifetime reward]] is able to show the whereabouts of all celebrities around the town depending on their celebrity level.
 
From map view, celebrity houses are recognized as a housemarked with a star in golden map tag. Sims cannot click on it to visit their home. Sims must manually go to their house and use the call box. If they don't know the Sims or dislike them, they won't allow them to enter.

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.

===Impressing celebrities===
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 aboutwith their [[skill]]s, [[career]]s, wealth, or name other celebrities they've known. The higher the skills, career levels, and money the Sim has, the more likely the celebrities will accept them. If Sims fail to impress them, they will reject socializing with them. [[Mean Spirited]] and [[Evil]] celebrities will reject them meanly. If a Sim has already met them through work (i.e. boss or co-worker) the game acts like they have already been impressed.
 
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 [[LoveLoves To Swim]] traits, respectively.</ref>

[[Easily Impressed]] celebrities will be influenced withby any skills and careers. [[Snob]]s aren't impressed with wealth. Additionally, Sims with [[Star Quality]] trait can impress celebrities faster. Certain traits of the celebrity may also conflict with a skill; for example, [[loner]]s will be less impressed by the [[charisma]] skill.
