Getting perks with Fame Points directs your Sim’s career in a certain direction. You can keep an eye on your Sim’s progress in their Fame Info panel, which helps you manage perks and quirks. Will they be a paparazzi darling, a serious actor, or even encounter “stans” more than other Sims? The more famous your Sim gets, the more quirks they’ll get. Woot! Also, when your Sim becomes a Notable Newcomer, one of the first levels of Fame, they’ll acquire a quirk in their personality. If your Sim does well at their gig, success! Over time, they’ll earn Fame Points, which can be spent on Fame Perks. On set, your Sim will get into hair, makeup, and wardrobe (the wardrobe alone is worth joining your Sim), then perform scenes based on the skills they developed.

Now, you’ll have the choice to either send your Sim to work on their own or join them on set. Will they get the part? If so, you’re on your way, kid. For the romantic drama audition, Charisma is a must. For the pirate-themed audition, your Sim’s physical prowess will be expected on set, so they’d better start exercising. When they book an audition, your Sim will need to work on the skills it requires.
