From map view, celebrity houses are recognized as a house 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.
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 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 about 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.
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 [[Love To Swim]] traits, respectively.</ref>

[[Easily Impressed]] celebrities will be influenced with any skills and careers. [[Snob]]s aren't impressed with wealth. Additionally, Sims with [[Star Quality]] trait can impress celebrities faster.
===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.
===Film Career===
Upon reaching level 4 (Personal Assistant) in [[Film]] career, Sims gain 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.
===Offspring of Celebrities===
The children of celebrities might inherit their parents' celebrity status when they grow up. This might be influenced by the relationship between the children and their parents.
===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.
*Friend: 1,000 points
*Good friend: 500 points
*Best friend: 1,000 points
*BFF: 1,500 points
*Romantic interest: 1,100 points
*Partner: 1,750 points
*Fiancée: 2,000 points
*Spouse: 3,000 points
Celebrity points will not be lost if the relationship is worsened, however, such as becoming distant friends or enemies.
===Gaining Faster Celebrity Points===
There are several ways to gain celebrity points. These methods don't provide celebrity points, but enable Sims to gain celebrity points faster.
*Having a level 7 career or higher.
*Having household funds worth §100,000.
*Having the [[Star Quality]] trait.
*Working in [[Film]] career.
