Celebrity Status is a new feature in The Sims 3: Late Night. It is reminiscent of Fame in The Sims: Superstar.
A Sim's Celebrity Status is displayed by 1 to 5 stars. Sims must perform certain tasks and brag about themselves in order to gain a higher Celebrity Status[1]. The neighborhood already has celebrities and one way to launch sims way into stardom is to befriend other celebrities. Celebrity NPC's are distinguished by having a gold star over their heads[1].
Sims don't need to be in the new Film career to become famous. Any Sim can become a celebrity[2].
If a Paparazzi catches a Sim fighting another[2], skinny dipping in a pool or dancing on the bar they may be fired from their job or get the "Walk of Shame" moodlet[3]. Sims can however drag the Paparazzi to court. Celebrities can also try to attempt to escape from Paparazzi.[2].
When Sims get really famous they may receive free stuff from fans and businesses, such as free groceries[2], free drinks[1], free books at the bookstore[3], free treatments at the spa[3] and access to exclusive bars and clubs where other celebrities hang out[1],. Sims may also receive simoleons for showing up at parties and having their picture taken[4].
Celebrity Stars do not decay or can not be lost. If a Sim gains a star, they will be a celebrity forever.
Ways to gain celebrity status
- Building a network (of friends)[2]
- Brag about fame[2]
- Brag about skills[2]
- Offering drinks to other celebrities[2]
- Do assignments / complete opportunities[2]
- Perform gigs in a band [1]
- Have good relationships with existing celebrities. [1]
- Kissing other celebrities (1 kiss = 1 star).
- Telling gossip and take compromising photos
- Becoming the boyfriend/girlfriend = 1 star.
- Getting Married to a Celebrity = 3 stars
If a celebrity sim has a child, the child may inherit the celebrity status when he or she grews up into a child.
Sims at the top of their career will gain celebrity status faster[2].
- NOTE!* Before you try to impress a celebrity, make sure you have something to brag about. Celebrities can be pretty cold to sims they don't know.
