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 paparazzo 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 paparazzo to court. Celebrities can also try to attempt to escape from paparazzi.[2]. In addition, doing a variety of tasks (including peeing yourself, passing out, and denotating/smashing objects) in public or private will cause the "Publicly Disgraced" moodlet and the inability to receive bonuses for 3 days. In addition, if a sim is recognized as a celebrity within that time, the moodlet will be negative.
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].
If a Consignment Store Register recognises you as a celebrity you may get a discount and The Recognised as a Celebrity moodlet.
Celebrity Stars do not decay or can not be lost. If a Sim gains a star, they will be a celebrity forever, even after death.
