A lot of people want to be famous, and the Sims are no different! In The Sims 4, everyone has a chance to achieve stardom with the Get Famous expansion. Sims can become famous in multiple areas, such as acting, writing, painting, music, or politics. They can even simply be a social media influencer, their world's equivalent of an Instagram or YouTube star.

However, to truly become a recognized name and a celebrity takes quite a lot of time. Sims have to work hard to achieve stardom, and even then, they have to be careful not to lose it. Luckily, there are some tricks how to make the process of gaining fame faster and easier. Some are so obscure that many players might not realize they exist — until now.

Sims 4 Simstagram

Just like in real life, the best way to attract an audience's attention and become well-known is to be active and engage with fans on social media platforms. In this case, Sims who want to become famous should take the care to post new stories on their Simstagram over and over and over again.

This allows Sims to quickly build a wide audience and become famous as a result. Frequent posts and larger numbers of followers equal more fame.

8 Work On The Charisma Skill (And Others)

Of course, Sims should work on skills in their area of expertise if they want to be famous as an actor, a musician, a painter, or even a social media influencer. They can use certain lot traits to boost learning speed, which will allow them to level up their artistic skills much faster. There are also cheats or mods for leveling up skills, but using them might take away a part of the enjoyment.

One skill that the wannabe famous Sims should level up that players often forget about, though, is charisma. If a Sim with a high level of charisma posts a story on Simstagram, they will get more followers (and more fame) than Sims with a lower level of the skill.

7 Go Out & Face The Public

Introverted Sims might not be so happy about this step, but one way to increase fame is to just go out, interact with the public, and show off some talent. Sims who want to be famous singers, for example, should visit open mics at clubs and bars to showcase their skills.

Sims can also attend parties and try to befriend celebrities and other influential people. Getting to know those who are already famous will also bring them fame points.

6 Do Risky Scenes As An Actor

If a Sim is an actor, they can gain fame faster by doing the riskier scenes. During every filming event, Sims have an option to either play it safe or try out the risky option. Successfully doing the risky option brings them more fame.

However, players should only try this option if they feel confident enough and have fulfilled all the prep tasks they were supposed to do (such as practicing certain types of acting scenes) before attending the filming. Otherwise, they might fail the scene, and won't get any extra fame points.

5 Become A Spellcaster

An unusual way to get more fame is to become a spellcaster! With the World of Magic expansion, once a Sim learns enough spells, they can use their magic abilities to cast spells and get fame points for it.

It's a perk that many players don't know about, even those who have played as spellcasters before. Of course, using spells also has another advantage, as it makes the Sim's life easier or helps them deal with annoying people.

4 Start Early

If Sim wants to be famous, they should start working on their future career or job early. For example, even children can start playing the violin or doing another artistic activity when they're very young.

However, the best way to get fame early on is to join the drama club. That will subsequently help the Sim in their future acting career, boosts their fame, and also ensures they will have a better chance to succeed and become an acting superstar.

3 Be Born To The Right Parents

Once again just like in the real world, Sim children who are born to famous parents have a clear advantage over their average peers. In The Sims 4, if a child has famous parents, they automatically get a certain level of fame after they're born and they don't need to work for it!

From there on, it's up to them to develop their career like any other Sim would do. Still, their starting position is better, and it makes getting fame easier.

2 Build A Good Reputation

One trick to become famous faster is to build a good reputation. This will not only make the Sim, more popular but bring more opportunities their way. One way to achieve a good reputation is to donate a lot of money to charity.

If the Sim doesn't have a lot of money, they can try hosting charity events, or players can use money cheats if they don't mind doing so. It also helps to be simply nice to other Sims — everyone likes celebrities who are kind, polite, and humble.

1 Choose The Right Traits

In addition to lot traits, personality traits can also help Sim become famous faster. Some character traits are simply better for building fame than others. For example, being Creative helps a lot when Sim wants to be a famous writer or a painter.

It also helps to be Self-Assured, Cheerful, or Outgoing. Sims will meet a lot of people during their journey to stardom, and they need to be able to take all the attention with a smile on their face.
