Your sim will have to join a talent agency which will affect what types of gigs you can audition for, and your sim will not receive a steady pay. This career is not just a rabbit hole experience, and I absolutely love it. I have to admit, I wasn’t overly excited at this addition until I started playing the game. One of the major additions to the game besides CAS and Build Mode, is the new active career available in Get Famous: the acting career. It’s not all about sleeping and woohooing though, your sim can also build a walk in wardrobe or have a koi pond in their garden, fully equipped with a wide variety of fish or even a shark if you’re feeling fancy. The vault also provides a new woohoo location, as your sims can now get down and dirty on top of a huge pile of money which represents your sim’s wealth. The vault lets you lock away your valuables, while a new safe lets you add some of your sim’s household income to keep safe from intruders or your spouse. The sleeping pod makes its debut as an alternative sleeping location, along with a vault to store all of your sim’s vast wealth. It’s not all reskins of the same object though, as there are some pretty interesting usable items here.
The usable Build Mode items are nice though, and suitably fit the theme of rising stardom. You can place these items in residential or public lots, but more often than not they look out of place. Similar to the costumes in CAS, there are lots of items from different move sets and props available in Build Mode.
These items can be divided into home furnishings and movie set items. Moving on to the Build Mode items, there are 255 items included in Get Famous. Having said that, I do spend the majority of my time playing The Sims 4 with young adults and older so I’m pleased with the amount onumbers included here. Although I understand the logic that you’ll most likely be spending more time with adults in this game, the lack of options for children and toddlers in the collection of DLC that’s available is a tad disappointing still. The vast majority of the clothing is for adults, although there are some for children and toddlers as well. There is a small collection of hairstyles for women, and even less so for men, but at this point, that’s to be expected. There are some more far-fetched items of clothing here, costumes which accompany the acting career are also available immediately in CAS, but if you have the Vampires game pack then it won’t really seem out of place. In terms of what’s available in the latest addition to the game, Get Famous adds 113 of CAS items, all of which I can definitely see myself using regularly. My number one complaint with any downloadable content for The Sims 4 is usually the lack of wearable or usable items.
So without further ado, let’s dive in to Get Famous and see what EA has given us to help our sims climb the ladder of stardom.įirst of all, there are an impressive number of CAS and Build Mode items included in Get Famous. While I think Get Famous might fall short of expectations if players compare it to the two previously released expansion packs, Cats & Dogs and Seasons, I feel like this piece of DLC might stand up on its own as a fun addition to the game. So far the themes of the expansion packs seem to be focusing on the more realistic aspects of modern society, and what could be more relevant to modern simmers than a pack that lets you get famous through the power of the internet? Stardom is the focus of Get Famous, and as such it gives its players a number of ways to help their sims achieve stardom or notoriety. The £34.99/$39.99 DLC dropped on the 16 th of November across the world, bringing with it a rather impressive amount of content for the game. The sixth expansion pack for The Sims 4 is finally here, and a year earlier than expected, no less.
