How to become famous
Fame is the engine behind the richest lives. The path is the same whatever career you choose: keep your Looks high, get on social media early, and grind fame activities every year.
Pick a fame career
The careers that reliably lead to fame are actor, voice actor, musician, model, writer or reporter, pro athlete, and influencer. Voice actor is a community favorite because it only needs a high school diploma. Most of these are premium modes; see Special Careers and Monetization.
Looks is the real gate
The big fame careers are gated on Looks, and the bar is higher than most players assume. These are the game’s own minimums:
| Fame career | Looks | Smarts | Salary cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Actor | 95 | 70 | $3,500,000 |
| Singer | 95 | 70 | $5,000,000 |
| Model | 90 | — | $250,000 |
An actor or singer needs Looks 95 to get in, not the 70 to 90 often quoted, plus Smarts 70. A model starts at Looks 90 and climbs a ladder to Supermodel at 95. So the real job before fame is maxing your Looks.
The build
- From age 8, raise Looks every year: the gym, then salons and spas, and later plastic surgery. You are aiming for the 90s.
- Take the matching lessons young (acting, an instrument) when they appear under Mind & Body.
- At 13, start a social media account and post the same one or two content types every year to build followers.
- At 18, apply for the entry role (an extra, a backing vocalist, a voice-over gig, a junior reporter). Hire a talent agent if roles are scarce.
- Once you are famous, do commercials, talk shows, photo shoots, and books every year. Each one raises fame and pays.
The social-media famous tag is widely reported to land around 300,000 to 350,000 followers. That figure is community knowledge, not a number the game prints, so treat it as a target. Fame decays if you stop working, so keep acting every year.
