Fame is one of the main features of Get Famous and it determines how popular Sims are in their careers. Fame is obtained through certain interactions that gain popularity from certain skills. Sims can also gain fame from working in their jobs, specifically as Actors. Celebrities can also earn and manage fame perks to gain advantages with more fame and reputation as well as certain boosts to careers, friends, and media production.

Reputation is another feature that plays a part in the public image of a Sim. Every Sim has a reputation, both good and bad, but if it stays neutral it won't have any bearing on gameplay. A celebrity's reputation garners a reaction from nearby Sims. If a celebrity has either a neutral, good, great, or pristine reputation, they will get cheers and happy reactions from other Sims. If they have a bad, awful, or atrocious reputation, celebrities will receive boos and other negative attention from nearby Sims.

Acting career[]

Staffing Agency or Everyday Extras Talent Agency. Either agency will send notifications reminding their actors to find auditions and get gigs to start getting an income.
