Sims can enter this career by signing up to the SimCity Talent Agency through the Studio Town tabloid, which [[Nancy the Paper Girl]] delivers each day. Unlike other careers in ''The Sims'', the Fame career is tracked by a series of 5 stars thatknown representas Star Power, which represents an individual Sim's level of fame,. andStar Power will increase or decrease in half-star increments based on performances and behaviour in Studio Town. It's not possible to be fired from the talent agency, but they will decrease a Sim's ranking if they do not work in Studio Town regularly, give poor performances, or suffer from a [[Illness#Nervous Breakdown|nervous breakdown]].
The Fame career has no set hours of work; earning money and increasing fame requires the Sim to travel to Studio Town, and perform successfully when using fame-related objects. The usual metrics of mood and skills are also required, but the number of friends a Sim has is irrelevant; what's important is their total star power, so having two five-star friends is equivalent to having five friends with two stars each. However, it's difficult for a Sim to make friends with celebrities who don't have similar levels of star power.

== Studio Town ==
Sims in the Fame career must travel to [[Studio Town]] in order to work and progress. They can call a car which will take them to Studio Town for free, but they can only visit Studio Town once per day. It is not a requirement to visit Studio Town every day, but if a famous Sim does not visit Studio Town for two consecutive days, their starpowerstar power will begin to decrease.
 
Studio Town in broken up into several distinct areas, based around three disciplines; Acting, Modelling and Singing. The lots focused around Acting can be identified by their golden rooftops and beige stucco exteriors; '''KWLW Studios''', '''Fairchild Film Studios''' and '''Meeker Studios'''. Two lots are designed for Modelling, and have blue roofs and white stone exteriors; '''Buckingham Galleries''' and '''The Gast District'''. The three lots with black roofs and black brick exteriors are based around Singing; '''Cameron's Lounge''', '''Midlock Multiplex''', and '''Music for the Eyes Inc.''' Finally, '''Studio Town Center''' is the central hub of the town, and is more oriented towards non-famous Sims.
