Fame (The Sims 4: Get Famous)

Fame

A celebrity giving out an autograph

For the career, see Fame (career).

Not to be confused with Celebrity status.

Fame is a feature in The Sims 4: Get Famous, in which Sims will gain more renown than others as they gain popularity and celebrity. It is functionally similar to Celebrity status in The Sims 3: Late Night, and reminiscent of Fame in The Sims: Superstar.

Fame is gained through certain interactions that gains popularity from skills. Sims can also gain fame from working their jobs, specifically Actors. Sims can also manage certain perks and quirks they gain as they level up the stars of fame, this can be found in the Simology Panel under "Public Image" next to Reputation.

A Celebrity's reputation garners a reaction from nearby Sims. From Neutral, to Good, Great, and then Pristine, Celebrities will get cheers and happy reactions from Sims. From Bad, to Awful, and then Atrocious, Celebrities will recieve boo's and other negative attention from nearby Sims.

Celebrities can earn fame perks in order to gain advantages with more fame and reputation as well as certain boosts to careers, friends, and media production.

Star Levels

Unknown

You're currently unknown, but there's no time like the present to start your journey to becoming Famous! There are many different ways to become a celebrity, and as your Sim progresses in their skills and careers, more paths to stardom become available. Some great ways to become famous include pursuing a career in Acting, or raising the Media Production Skill via the Video Station or Music Station objects. Look for interations labeled with (+Fame); each of these will contribute toward becoming a super star!

Notable Newcomer

One star celebrities should continue advancing their career and skills to progress further into stardom. Interactions marked with (+Fame) will let you know that you're on the right path.

They'll have earned their very first Fame Point, which can be spent on the Fame Perk of your choosing. Click on the Fame Points button below to discover which Fame Perks are available. Even minor celebrities are susceptible to developing a Fame Quirk. Quirks are behavioral oddities that are shaped by the actions a celebrity takes.

Rising Star

As a Rising Stare, other Sims around the world are starting to express interest in you, allowing you to sign autographs and pose for pictures with other Sims. In fact, you can now host a Celebrity Meet & Greet event-- the perfect occasion for such interactions with the general public. Use your phone to Plan a Social Event to get started.

In addition you've earned two more Fame Points, and a new tier of Fame Perks are now available to purchase. As you continue to advance towards superstardom, Fame Perks will open additional avenues to personalizing your celebrity's story, becoming famous, or accelerating how quickly you gain fame. The more celebrity points you gain, the more Fame Points and Fame Quirks you'll acquire.

B-Lister

As a B-Lister, you're well on your way to the top. In fact, the occasional paparazzi will confront you out in public. On the other hand, you now have genuine fans... Sims who are excited just to catch a glimpse of you!

Is all the public attention a bit overwhelming? Try using a mirror to wear a Celebrity Disguise. It'll give you cover to go about your life in privacy. However, you won't be able to earn additional fame as long as you're disguised. You're also at the point where your personal reputation can really impact the type of celebrity you become. IF you've started to shape your Public Image around a Good or Bad reputation, additional Fame Perks are now available to reinforce your positive or negative actions.

Proper Celebrity

As a proper celebrity, you're practically... no wait, you're literally a shining star. Don't fret, you can click on yourself and turn off your Fame Shine if it becomes a nuisance.

You've also perfected a unique celebrity walkstyle that'll put all eyes on you. This too can be adjusted by simply clicking on your Sim. Now that you've got the look of a celebrity down pat, you'll also be able to manipulate the behavior of nearby fans into giving you the thunderous recognition you so rightfully deserve. Again, by simply clicking on yourself, you'll now find the ability to Incite Cheers from nearby Sims.

Global Superstar

Hey there superstar! Kick back and take it easy, you're a top tier celebrity now. It's time to enjoy everything that you've accomplished!

You may have noticed your rise to fame, that staying out of public's eye could result in your fame slowly slipping away. Don't worry, as a five star celebrity, your fame is built to last. You'll have to outright ignore any actions that provide fame for days on and before you start to lose your status. Even then, you've built a lasting legacy... you'll never lose more than two stars of fame. You've also accumulated a wide array of Fame Points, and likely purchased a number of Fame Perks. Perhaps it's time for a change? Use your phone to Book a Celebrity Cleanse. A short time later you'll wipe your slate clean, and have all your Fame Points refunded. This will allow you to select an entirely new selections of Perks to play with!
