Perhaps your SimвЂ™s phone number will be leaked to the public and theyвЂ™ll start receiving unsolicited messages from crazy fans, or theyвЂ™ll develop a severe aversion towards being touched. Quirks, on the other hand, are involuntary personality traits that develop from the pressure of the spotlight. Perks can be redeemed through spendable fame points, and vary in reward from initial relationship boosts to breezing through careers. One of the best aspects of Get Famous are the perks and quirks earned over time through fame. This means that regardless of the career or hobby, a Sim can record themselves doing anything from cooking to fishing and monetize from these potentially viral videos on the SimsвЂ™ equivalent of Youtube.

The streaming drone can follow Sims around and record their everyday actions, and with a high enough media skill this footage can then be edited and turned into an exciting video to share with the Sim world. The video station is essentially a little recording studio with built-in lights and cameras and a computer that can be used only for interacting with media, and the music station is used for producing and mixing different tracks. A few of the new Build items that support this skill are the video station, music station and streaming drone. This skill allows Sims to create videos, edit media and stream their hobbies to share with the world. In addition to the acting career, the expansion pack makes it very accessible for Sims to become famous in almost any way they choose with the new Media Production skill. ItвЂ™s incredibly fun to be able to join your Sims at work and carry out their tasks, some of which include getting into hair and makeup, rehearsing with co-stars, and actually performing different scenes on set. I am impressed by how thought-out the acting career feels: everything from the tedious audition system to the directors and coworkers that change depending on which company youвЂ™re shooting for that day seems realistic and calculated. Initially, your Sim will have to join a talent agency and audition for every role, which will require different skill levels in areas such as fitness, charisma, and more. Get Famous introduces an Acting career, which allows you to follow your Sim to work as they star in various commercials, daytime television gigs and movies. I found these somewhat-realistic mechanics to provide hours of entertaining gameplay, and it was nice to know that at any point, my Sims could opt out of the fame system should they tire of the spotlight.

Fame can be gained performing different actions such as interacting with Simstagram, creating and uploading lifestyle videos, and rising in the ranks of your SimsвЂ™ careers, and reputations are determined over time by the way society perceives your SimsвЂ™ actions and choices. The possibilities for how your Sims can achieve fame and what they will be renowned for are limitless and exciting, and in addition to earning celebrity stars your Sims can also earn a good or bad reputation. In the previous game, Sims who became famous were all cut from the same cloth, now your Sims can rise to stardom and develop unique personality quirks and perks to go along with it. It introduces a new celebrity star system that distinguishes itself from its counterpart in The Sims 3: Late Night by adding layers of complexity to each Sim that climbs the fame ladder. Get Famous immediately impressed me with its dimension and flexibility. If your Sims have been working thanklessly as a singer, comedian or social media figure with no recognition or badgering paparazzi to show for it, then they should look no further then Get Famous, the newest expansion pack for The Sims 4 that allows your Sims to do exactly what its title declares.
