The latest blog post about The Sims 4 Get Famous Expansion Pack mentioned “Each Sim who lives in Del Sol Valley has a Public Image, which is a combination of Reputation and Celebrity Level” which got many wondering (including myself) if becoming famous is a feature locked only for Del Sol Valley, the new world coming with this pack.
Both SimGuruKate and SimGuruGrant have explained this quote saying that Sims will definitely be able to become famous outside of this world and that they’ve only said this as an example that Del Sol Valley will be having plenty of pre-made Sims who are already famous.
I am seeing some questions based on today’s blog about Fame and wanted to quickly clarify. Sims outside of Del Sol Valley will be able to get famous. However there will be premade Sims living in Del Sol Valley who are already famous as well as some famous Sims as walkbys.

Nah, this is us trying to present it as a full story with all the features combined. https://t.co/mtIvvMTTAp

SimGuruGraham also went on Twitter to explain some of the many ways of becoming famous and used examples such as performing comedy routines, singing, DJing, selling art and more as some of the ways to become famous in this pack.
He also revealed the fact that many skills (but not all) will help our Sims become famous – even with skill that we got through packs such as Archaeology in The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure Game Pack!
“They said you can gain celebrity status by performing at open mic night or by performing music, but what about dance off, busking, karaoke, djing, selling art, etc.?” Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

For a player who also owns Jungle Adventure… giving archaeology lectures, identifying artifacts, and writing archaeology books can help a Sim become a famous archaeologist, yes.

Many of them, not all of them. Some just don’t do anything that logically made sense in contributing towards a Sim’s fame.

Let me be as clear and straightforward on today's topic as possible… Where your Sim lives has zero bearing on if/how they gain fame, or their reputation. You don't have to live in or travel to Del Sol Valley, and living in Del Sol Valley does not force anything unique on you.
