Her bank balance may suggest famous, but she needs to up her Fame game before being allowed access. Gemma tried her luck with the bouncer, and unsurprisingly he wasn’t having any of it. Seriously, the club even informs you that you are paying twice as much than other places for the same drink. This then has a direct effect on gaining entry into Studio PBP, because this club has a bouncer outside the door who will decide who is worthy enough to pay through the nose for a couple of drinks. It shows you who you should be talking to, and who you should aspire to be to help you make it up the social ladder. Highlighting a Sim will now show you their social standing and how famous they are. It is here where we get a first glimpse of a major new feature in this DLC: The Fame system. She headed to Starlight Boulevard and first stop was the most exclusive club in town, Studio PBP.

With this city being based on Los Angeles, there aren’t many natural areas instead, most of the recreational areas are full of bricks and mortar.Īfter a long look at each and every room and a quick dip in both pools, Gemma was ready to see what local amenities were on offer in Del Sol Valley. Much like other new areas from other packs it is a good mix of residential and recreational areas. This meant that she could move straight into The Pinnacles, Del Sol Valley’s most exclusive area.ĭel Sol Valley is the new area introduced in the Get Famous expansion. Rather than moving her into Mirage Park – the residential area for up and coming celebrities – I used the in-game cheats to give her the best start in life, with a welcome boost to her bank account. What there is plenty of though are new furniture options.Īny successful famous reality TV star has been given a helping hand from somewhere, and Gemma is no different here. Overall, as far as Sim customisation goes, there are several new hairstyles and a few new outfits, but the amount is a little lower than I expected to see. They just feel out of place in this expansion where it covers all kinds of famous people, not just those of the action movie variety. These wouldn’t look out of place in a horror-themed DLC but certainly makes sense if your Sim is an action movie star, however that feels a bit niche.

There aren’t as many clothing options as I would expect, but for some reason there seems to be several facial scarring and dirt options. Right off the bat though, the new customisation options are a bit strange.
