Disabling Seasions But Keeping its Stuff - Want to disable weather or make plants in season year-round? You can do so with my new Seasons Tuner Mod
Improving Sims 4: The past month, I've spent every day tinkering The Sims 4, making quality of life improvements, gameplay changes, and new difficulty settings for the game. If you'd like to learn more about my project, visit the post on Patreon where you can download it now.
With Global Superstar, you have a total of 10 Fame Perks you can purchase. Some require a positive or negative reputation.
Get Famous includes fame perks, unlocked as you increase your celebrity's fame rank. There are 5 ranks in total, and almost two dozen perks to choose from. Every single one of these has at least two benefits, and sometimes more. Odds are you will find something that benefits your Sim.
Gaining fame and public image in Get Famous (or losing public image) will increase these two metrics in rank. There are 5 rankings for fame and three for the two sides to public image (positive/negative). When you go up in fame, you get access to more perk points. To help you plan what perks you want, you get:
It is mentioned on the Fame Guide, but you also get other benefits for rising in rank - not just perks.
It's repeated elsewhere, but your Sim can lose fame ranks if they do nothing that increases fame for a time. It slowly decays. If you drop a rank, you will lose access to the perks you no longer qualify for, but will get the perk points refunded. When you return to that rank you will get no extra points but will get back any Fame Level benefits you previously had.

Fame Perks can be reset using a celebrity cleans (on the phone, $275). Don't worry too much about your picks as they are not permanent. You may start one direction to help you gain fame (the media or skill tree is good for that) then switch to another 'build' later.
When organizing these, I realized there's not a great way to do it. They are broken into three 'trees' so you may as well see the prerequisites. They way I'm listing them, you know if you want rank 3 you need 1 and 2 as well. You get a total of 10 fame perk points to spend, so try to plan carefully. There are a total 21 perks so you can get just under half of them but no more than 2 level 5 abilities due to this constraint.
| Icon | Perk Name | Fame Rank | What it Does |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Corporate Partnership | 1 | Allows the video/music station for the Media Production skill to grant more fame and money. At times you will be asked to film a video within a certain timeframe, and will receive an immediate bonus for doing so. May require the drone to complete certain tasks. These objects are all found under electronics > misc in Buy Mode sort by function. |
 | Influencer | 2 | Your Sim will get random gift from his or her fans in the mail - collectibles, decorative items, and even food. |
 | All-Nighter | 3 | Gives the Sim an Energy boost, giving them more time to stay awake. This can be used for the 24-Hour Charity Stream your Sim can also use with this Perk (Requires Media Production). Completing a 24-hour stream will give you a large amount of both Fame and Reputation. |
 | Trailblazer | 4 | Increases the payouts for the Video Station (Media Production, again). For Sims not using that skill, an additional "bonus" is that Sims will begin to emulate the way your Sim dresses. Well, at least you can help fix all the poorly dressed Sims. |
 | Lifestyle Brand | 5 | Allows your Sim to launch a brand, granting income daily. Must be maintained, but gives residual cash. Your Sim can then Enthuse about Brand to other Sims. Sims may discuss your brand. |
| Icon | Perk Name | Fame Rank | What it Does |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Networking | 1 | Allows your Sim to form relationships with more famous Sims. Socializing with them can then help you to gain fame, with even more provided so long as they are higher rank than your Sim. |
 | PR Agency | 2 | Helps you to boost or reduce your public image using the phone. This can help you to get to get both reputation and fame. You'll also be invited to parties where celebrities are present. |
 | Fan Favorite | 3 | Allows your Sim to ask a fan to boost the fame or reputation of a household member. Additionally, the Sim can now Strike a Pose and cause nearby Sims who are fans to faint. |
 | Instant Besties | 4 | Greeting Sims gives the target a positive buff (on which I'll get details later). An additional bonus to the rate friendships and romance are formed is also provided. |
 | Squad | 5 | Allows you to summon an Entourage. They will show up dressed like you, and will cheer you on. This one, like a few others, will take some testing to see if it's truly useful. Thankfully the rest of this tree is good if you want to be popular. |
| Icon | Perk Name | Fame Rank | What it Does |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Noticeable | 1 | Skill and Career-based fame rewards sometimes provide extra fame. This can help you to grind more. I'm not yet sure if it provides fame on activities that give none (like practicing) but it's clear it will help with those that definitely do (publishing music, performing in public). |
 | CelebuSerum | 2 | Every day, a CelebuSerum will arrive in the mail. They have random effects, such as boosting emotions or needs, and even providing skill boosts. Might be handy at times! |
 | Established Name | 3 | Increases the instant money or royalties for skill-made objects, such as books, paintings, music, and media. A fantastic ability for creative Sims to gain wealth. Actors get an additional bonus in that they can bypass auditions and get gigs straight away. Very handy for speeding up the process of becoming a Global Star. The Sim can also skip hair and makeup with no penalty. So so nice for avoiding the tedium of repeat actions. |
 | Career Hopper | 4 | Helps you jump several ranks when starting a new career, with increased job performance (and thus faster promotions) as well. If you then quit a career, you can get rehired into the exact same rank as when you left. |
 | Easy Street | 5 | This one will make you super rich if you are in a career, as you evidently get a doubled paycheck and even more career performance. Your Sim will always come home in a positive mood. Super powerful if you want a full money vault! |
| Icon | Perk Name | Fame Rank | Reputation | What it Does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Giving Back | 3 | Good | Increases all reputation gains, and allows your Sim to donate objects from home for fame. May help you turn money into popularity. The more expensive the object, the more the Sim will receive. It will be worth determining if there is an upper limit on this - no need to donate a $1000 item if the max reputation gain is for $500, as an example. |
 | Rally | 4 | Great | Allows your Sim to give an inspirational speech, boosting the skill gain of nearby Sims (good for parents?) Your Sim will have increased social success rates him/her self after giving an Inspirational Speech. |
 | Star Treatment | 5 | Pristine | Free... everything, as far as meals, drinks, hiring bartenders, etc. goes so your Sim may enjoy a free afternoon at the spa. Sims will throw confetti to celebrate your arrival at a venue. |
| Icon | Perk Name | Fame Rank | Reputation | What it Does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Who's Bad | 3 | Bad | Helps your reputation to drop faster. In addition, you'll gain fame from Mischief interactions. |
 | Play the Villain | 4 | Awful | Now allows Mean interactions to increase fame, in addition to mischief. Also, amusingly, Sims will cheer you on when you do this to others and may ask for your autograph afterward. |
 | FeudBringer | 5 | Atrocious | Your Sim can now start Celebrity Feuds. Allows some new feud-y interactions like Blame for Feud, Badmouthing on the computer, and publicly disparaging comments. Your Sim will benefit from the news reporting on this feud, since they like being mean, after all. Feuds can be ended once started. |

How do I earn fame perks, I have the World Famous Celebrity aspiration.
What title is learning how to gain fame perks on your YouTube channel. Please write back.
Do you mean the Media Production skill?
How do you give a Rally speech? I have no idea how to do this, I can't find this information literally anywhere. Thank you to whomever may help :)
Your sim has to have the Positive Public Image Perk "Rally" then (I think) you access it by clicking on your sim. (Can't be 100% about this as I haven't played a famous sim for years now.)
If I have the perk Career Hopper, I quit one career and then come back to it later I'll be in the same position, does it mean that I won't be able to take the other leg of the career ever again?
Umm, and how do you OPEN the fame perks panel? Skipped a step, or I'm missing something
