New Features[]
World and Neighborhoods[]
Skylines of Starlight Boulevard.
The Sims 4: Get Famous includes Del Sol Valley, a brand new world that is based on Los Angeles, especially Hollywood and Hollywood Hills. It is a big suburban area of a city, located near an ocean, and is focused on various celebrity Sims, both new and old. Del Sol Valley includes three neighborhoods—Mirage Park, The Pinnacles, and Starlight Boulevard, along with the hidden Plumbob Pictures movie studio related to the Acting career. It has a total of 11 lots.
Fame and Reputation[]
A celebrity receiving an award.
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[]
Sims acting out a scene on a set.
Actor is a new active career and the main way of gaining fame and becoming famous. Actors must join one of two agencies to start getting auditions: A.I. Staffing Agency or Everyday Extras Talent Agency. Either agency will send notifications reminding their actors to find auditions and get gigs to start earning an income. Actors can succeed or fail in the audition. Auditions may be bypassed once the Sim obtains the "Established Name" perk after reaching fame level 3.
When actors have an acting gig, they must travel to the studio lot and perform their daily tasks, consisting of getting their costumes fitted, hair styled, practicing lines, talking with the director, etc. When the actor is ready, they can speak to the director and be directed to the main stage. On the main stage, the actor must carry out an array of actions, depending on their acting skill.
