Under the title there will be a smiley face with three little stars over it's head. Next to the smiley guy is a number. Click on this number to get a description of Starpower.
Right now, you don't have to worry about this. I'll talk about Starpower later on. Channel your bitterness and frustrations into your work, so someday YOU'LL be on top. This isn't magic Get creative At the understanding that being a star is HARD work! Pump up your body and presentation skills, as you pump palms around Studio Town. Nobody said this would easy. This is not a typo on my part, that's really how it reads. Your fan mail is growing!
In fact, maybe you should look for NEW ways to get famous. Sure it's great to "be discovered," but can you afford to wait? You were going to make a masterpiece, stick to your friends, and change the system You can't fight it Just go with it. The more they squawk, the more famous you become. Fan the flames by dropping names, and making sure you get lots of "face time" in Studio Town. Magazines, billboards, talk shows But nobody told you it would be so much work! Plus it seems the more money you earn, the more money you burn Keep your name is lights, or you might find just yourself The choice is up to you.
Who said it was lonely at the top? You've got more friends and fans than you know what to do with! Sure, you've burned some bridges on the way, but that's the mark of a true artist, nay No wonder they worship the ground you walk on! When you're ready, go to the nearest phone and call a cab to go to Studio Town. Normally it would cost 50 simoleons to visit it as a tourist, but as long as you're in the Biz, your traveling expenses are already paid. Important note, you are allowed only one trip to Studio Town a day if you have Fame as your career.
Just think of your Fame career as your new job. If you miss two work days in a row, you'll be back in the Unemployment line. Roll back the red carpet When you first arrive at Studio Town, what should you do? Unfortunately you're not famous enough to share the set with a big star.
You'll have to start out small. If you try to use a high fame object, you'll be shooed away. It's all about Fame stars. As you gain more Fame Stars, you gain access to more objects in Studio Town. The fact is it's best to take part in all three careers and use whatever object you have to in order to gain the necessary Fame stars.
Once you become a Superstar with a full 5 stars, then it's up to you if you want to stick with one specific career. Destination Stardom There are eight large lots in Studio Town, each with it's own resources and functions. If you ask me, all the lots that came with the game basically suck. The sooner you can build your own, the better. Anyways, here's a quick run-down of each lot.
Don't e-mail me if I forget to mention something. I'm only making mention of objects I see as noteworthy. Skip this all if you just want a direct answer to where you want to go. Self-guided tours offered daily. This mammoth structure contains the primary studios and corporate headquarters of the biggest name in film today. It has a lot to offer and is a good place for doing commercials.
However, doing movies is much more difficult since there is so much to keep other sims distracted. There is also a major problem of sims getting stuck upstairs.
They may not have indoor restrooms, but they have outdoor ones! Once you gain 4. There's not much to keep other sims distracted aside from the skydiving and computer so finding a partner will be relatively easy. The only thing this lot is really missing is a spa to increase Hygiene and Comfort. And hey, an espresso bar couldn't hurt either.
Midlock also owns and operates the trendy "Midlock Mahi" sushi bar on their corporate lot. This lot won't be able to fill your Needs extremely well so bring your sim in a good mood. The sushi isn't all that filling so don't come hungry. There's food at every corner and a small spa to keep you comfy and clean. A good lot if you're starting out with 0 stars.
However, consider customizing this place as your own by putting the second floor to better use. Buckingham's private design studio. Just don't expect for this lot to fill up your Needs other than Bladder and your need to shop for you girls out there. It's good since there's not much to do, so getting a partner will be easy when you want to use the runway.
Just use the Fame objects here and then leave once your Needs start to drop. The runway will especially take a toll on Comfort and there are no spa objects on the lot. It's not so much that Music for the Eyes Inc. But as the description says, it's the only lot you can go to if you want to make music videos. It's a basic lack of planning that screws this lot up. All the food is on the first floor while the restrooms are on the second floor.
There's only one set of stairs to the small bathroom. If you don't want you sim to wet it's pants after having a meal, put some portable bathrooms and a small sink on the first floor. If you've got your boots on, come beat the chops with the jacks and jills or earn some gravy gammin on the main kick. This place isn't too bad if you're just starting out. It has both Karaoke bar and Open Mic stage, which is good if you have no Fame stars.
Unfortunately, it doesn't have much of anything else to fill draining Needs other than Fun. For food, it only has a shrimp cart, which on it's own doesn't fill a sim's hunger needs very well. Get your first half star here if you want but go somewhere else to take care of your Needs. Chic shopping, round-the-clock fashion shows, and a spa that never closes.
One area only has one rack of high fashion. The other has 2 racks downstairs and 3 racks upstairs My notes: Yet another lot I hate. For fashion opportunities, it's either Gast or Buckingham. This lot makes Europe look bad. It has an extremely poor layout despite the large lot area. For one, both the sushi bar and smoothie counter are on the second floor. The three bathroom stalls are in one corner of the lot on the first floor. It's the same way with the clothing racks.
The three racks on the second floor have no purpose since the cashiers are all downstairs anyway. You'll also notice this place appears to be one large building, however the second floor has no walkway to connect the "food court" and spa, which means your sim will have to take a long walk if they want to go from one second story area to the other.
Worst yet, this lot won't be too great with filling your Needs, especially Hunger. You'll have to eat quite a bit of Sushi and drink a couple of smoothies if you want to fill your hunger. Then you'll have to run to the bathroom It will also be more difficult to use the runway than the Buckingham since there's a bit more to do and your potential partners will be in seperate rooms entirely.
For me, this was the first lot I bulldozed. Cameron's Lounge and Studio Town Center have both. You can try going elsewhere, just make sure they have something you can use. When you first arrive as a Nobody in Fame Status, Lana will welcome you. Dozens of strangers will be wandering around the lot.
Remember to say hello to as many as you can. The Paparazzo will also be around. If you can get his attention you can gain Fame points as well.
Look for him and pose for a picture or create a publicity stunt. If your skills are maxed out, you'll instantly gain your first half star and become a Stepping Stone.
If not, go to the Karaoke or Open Mic stage and perform. Hopefully your Charisma and Creativity Skills are high enough to please the gathering crowds, that is if you CAN gather a crowd.
Wait until there are at least 6 people on the lot. The more, the better. Pause the game and look around the lot to make sure there are people close by who aren't getting ready to do something such as start a meal or go onto a computer.
Now, sing or entertain. People should start walking in. Thanks to Lsky2 on the Sims site BBS for these two tricks: If you're using the open mic, you can click on your sim after a few short seconds and choose "Entertain" once again.
This will keep your sim on stage and allow more people to come and listen. For both Karaoke and Open Mic you can also click on people you've already greeted and ask them to listen.
Each time you use a Fame object, you'll see a little star symbol flash over your head. A green plus means you've gained Fame points. If you perform exceptionally well, you'll see two green pluses and gain extra Fame points along with a bit of extra cash. When you get enough Fame points, you'll gain half a star. If you get a red minus, you will lose Fame points. If your Fame score gets too low, you may lose half a star. But worry about it too much.
You cannot lose Fame points until you earn 2 full stars, and even then you can only lose points if you fail the mini-game, which I'll explain later. Anyway, if you perform well, you'll gain Fame points to your next star and get paid in tips from the crowd, roughly 10 simoleons a person. If you still do not go up a star level, keep performing Karoake, entertaining at Open Mic or posing for the paparazzo. If you get stuck at this level, it can only mean your skills are not yet high enough.
The higher your skills are, the more Fame points you'll gain from each performance. If your sim doesn't want to sing or entertain, take a look at their Needs and their Mood Rating. Look at the button picturing the comedic and tragic face. Pressing this button will display Needs. Above and below this button there are 5 pegs to show your "Mood Rating.
Failing an attempt may cause a decrease in Fame points and even a loss of a Fame Star level when you get to the higher Fame levels. Be sure to fulfill your sim's needs when they fall more than halfway. Don't worry, as long as they're here your sim cannot starve to death or fall asleep in the street. However if your Needs are down into the bright red and your overall mood is bad, your sim will no longer be able to perform. For a description of each, click on the words above each bar. I'll only make note of how to fill these Needs while in Studio Town.
Hunger How to fill hunger? Studio Town has food for you to eat everywhere and on every lot! Sushi bars, smoothie stands and all other fast food will only fill this guage by a small amount. The best way to fill the guage is by looking for a buffet table.
Buffet tables offer salads if you click on one end of the table, entrees if you click in the middle of the table, and desserts at to other end of the table. Desserts do not fill the guage by much. Salads fill a sim up by a decent amount, but if your sim is very hungry entrees are the best. Whenever you eat, you bladder gauge will do down.
One final note, be sure to eat while other people are around. That way you can also build relationships and fill your social needs while you eat. Comfort As long as you're on your feet, this guage will go down. Certain activities will cause this guage to decrease even faster. Using the fashion runway especially is hard on this bar. To bring this guage back slowly, sit down in a chair or sofa. Each chair has a certain Comfort value and will fill the guage relative to that value.
For example, massage chairs will fill the guage faster than an office chair. The best place to fill this guage is in the spa. Steam baths, showers, bathtubs, spa tubs, hot tubs and massage tables will all fill this guage. Hygiene This guage goes down rather slowly unless you crap your pants or take a mud bath in a spa tub. Using the portable toilets will also slightly drop Hygiene scores. Washing your hands will fill this bar a small amount, but it will never completely fill the guage.
Steam baths and Hot tubs will fill this guage very slowly and will also not be able to fill it un completely. The best way is to use a normal bath or shower. Showers are available only on certain lots unless you add some yourself. Taking a shower will fill the guage completely. Too bad no one is clean until they're zestfully clean.
Bladder Using the potty is the best way. Of course the only other option is to wait until it drops all the way down and allow your sim to soil their shorts. The Bladder will be to quickest bar to decrease and the quickest to fill. It'll slowly go down on it's own and will go down even faster when you eat or drink. Make sure to keep an eye on this guage especially. If you sim can't make it to the proper facilities in time, they'll go whether they're ready or not. If they aren't ready, they'll drop their Hygiene score to the lowest level.
Celebrity trailers also could as a bathroom, but you need at least 2 Fame Stars to use them. Energy Energy is the hardest to fill of all. Certain activities such as runway modeling will cause this to go down faster. Basically you aren't supposed to be able to fill this bar at all while in Studio Town. You're really just supposed to wait until it depletes and then go home to sleep. You can try putting an Espresso bar run by Travelin' Joe onto a Studio lot, but on it's own it doesn't fill up Energy all that much.
The only other way is to download a hacked object from a third party site. Heh heh heh. A full Energy bar will normally last about 12 hours. Fun One of the easiest guages to fill, but most times to one easily overlooked.
All work and no play makes a sim annoyingly whine outloud while waving one arm over it's head. I hate when they do that. There's plenty of fun stuff to do in Studio Town. Throw darts at a dart board, play with some slot machines, pinball games or chess sets to fill up you Fun Needs.
Or how above testing out the Skydive Machine or Scuba Tank? Each costs simoleons for each use, so save to use these unless your Fun is down to a pathetic level. Playing with water fountains, dancing to a stereos or watching TV and playing on a computer also work. The Oxygen Bar is great if you want to build relationship points with three other people at once.
Supposedly you can also "play in" the celebrity trailer with a second person, but I've never gotten it to work. Try it and you'll see why. Social Sims need simulated human contact. Hugging, kisses and conversing with other sims is the only way to raise this value.
Doing group activities such as eating together or playing at the oxygen bar together will automatically allow your sims to talk with other doing the same activity. Sims sharing the same spa whether in Steam Baths, Spa tubs or Massage Tables will all converse with each other until they are done. If more than one person is sharing a hot tub, the bathing sims will talk back and forth. This guage will deplete rather slowly, so as long as you talk to someone every now and then, you should be fine.
Room Unfortunately, you have very little control of Room. Room indicates the room value and will fluctuate as you go from one room to another. Rooms that are spacious, well-lit and have a great deal of decorations will have high values. Messes such as trash, dirty dishes, spills and broken objects will decrease the room value. Studio Lots that have seating areas and food tables will normally end up having a pile up of dirty dishes if you stay long enough. Unfortunately, there's only one cleaning lady and she'll be too busy cleaning the toilets as soon as someone uses them.
Avoid staying in rooms outdoors is included at "room. You can help the room values by decorating the lots yourself, adding plenty of pictures found in Decorative of all 5 categories and shrubbery found in Build Mode. By filling your Needs, a sim can stayin Studio Town for longer a longer period of time, thus giving you more opportunities to meet new people and get more Star points. When your Energy is at a sliver or your Needs are too low to fill in town, Go Home and rest up by using a nearby telephone booth.
Coming home, you'll notice the time is still the same at your home as when you left. After resting, invite some friends over for breakfast or whatever and then get ready to do it all over again the next day.
Steppin' up You've gained your first half of a star. Congrats on becoming a measly little Stepping Stone. You now have a choice. You can either go back and sing more Karaoke or use the next available object. Karaoke will grant you a small amount of money and a low amount of Fame points. If you want to gain a full star, check your Fame button and click on the words "Stepping Stone.
That's right, half of a star grants you Prints Ads on a Photo Shoot. You're about to advertise some products. Make sure you're looking good with Body Skill points. Your first time in front of a camera and your doing an ad for Okay, maybe not. It's actually an ad for some game that I've never seen before in my life. Lots 86 and 89 both have Fashion opportunities.
Lot 86 has the Photo shoot on the second floor. Obviouosly, one ad won't be enough. You'll need quite a few advertisements to get the attention of those who matter in this town. It may take 4 or even more Print Ads to gain enough Fame points for you next star level. After each successfull shoot you'll be paid up to 65 simoleons. Remember to keep an eye on your Needs. You need a mood rating of at least 3 for a good ad.
If your needs get too low to fulfill while in Studio Town, don't be ashamed about having to get back home. Just be sure to keep greeting people you see on the lots you visit and try to talk to them as much as you can. Remember when you get home you can always call some new friends over and build up a relationship with them. You can also consider building up your skills if you have not maxed out Creativity, Charisma and Body. But if all goes well, you'll become an Insider in no time.
The Midlock Multiplex on lot 84 has two recording booths and is a good place to earn your next star. Actually, it's the only place until you build a lot of your own. Recording a Jingle is the same as printing an ad. You must have decent skill points and be in a good mood with most of your Needs met.
Each jingle will slowly wear down your Energy, Comfort and Fun. Sing about a bald guy that makes kitchen floors spotless a few times and gain more star points. It can take up to 5 jingles in all to gain enough Fame points, but you don't have to do them all at once. You'll probably have to sit down on a comfy couch after the first 3 or 4 in order to refill your Comfort.
Remember, you need at least 3 pegs on your mood rating. It's actually pretty normal if an audition doesn't go well. Just try again until you get it. Better your chances by watching that your Needs aren't too low and by having high skills. Refill your Needs with objects on the Studio lot or go home, rest, raise your Creativity, Charisma and Body skills and then try again. Each successful jingle nabs you about 70 simoleons or lower. Kickin' arse and droppin' names.
Since you'll be going in front of the camera, you'll need to be charming and be looking good. Build up your Creativity, Charisma and Body if you haven't already. Just as the description of this level tells you, you'll need to start building relationships if you haven't been doing so already.
The TV set has a man in a full body cast. Hopefully someone isn't actually in there. TV studios can be found on lots 81 and I suggest Fairchild on lot Come in a good mood, preferably with all Needs maxed out. Greet a few people as you come onto the lot and go straight for the TV Studio Set.
Do as many commercials as you can before your Needs get too bad. Commercials will wear down Energy, Comfort and Fun and you'll need to once again keep your mood rating at 3 pegs or higher. You should be able to gain another level here on one trip. It takes about 4 commercials or more for the necessary amount of Fame points.
Each successful commercial puts about 90 simloeons or less in your pocket. If you just can't seem to get that star, don't worry about it.
Grab something to eat, take some time at the spa and talk to some people before you leave to go home and rest. Then just come back the next day in your best mood and do commercials until that next half a star comes.
If you've done a dozen commercials while in a good mood but still can't seem to raise a level, it can only mean your skills are not yet high enough. Otherwise, don't give up. Know how to be a star So, you've gained at least 2 stars and think you're pretty good, don't ya? Well, it's far from over and your career is about to get a little bit tougher.
As a Studio Fly, you'll start to need Starpower if you want others to take you seriously. Photographers, directors and producers will now expect you to live up to your reputation and start making demands that you'll have to meet. But don't be threatened. You're Studio Town's newest golden child, destined to become a star! But before you can become a star, you'll have to learn how to act like one first. This section will discuss some of the more important concepts you'll need to understand.
But if you want to be a star, you'll have to work for it from this point on. You can model either Swimwear or Winterwear. It doesn't matter which you choose, the minigame will be the same with both. Talk to the photographer when no one else is using the Photo Shoot and a message will appear, prompting you to choose a sequence of three. Try not to allow the window to be left open for too long or it will automatically chose the first choice for you.
So what is a young model to do? The next morning fix breakfast and invite the star over. Try a few more times if they say no, if they do not break down, then invite over another star. Note: you cannot stay away from studio town too long and the friend star process usually takes a day and a so use your time wisely.
When the star comes over try to start out on the good foot by biggest fanning them, then ask for a hug. At this time none of your other sim interactions will do any good so leave them alone! When you sit down to eat watch closely at their conversation. Samantha and Nanette one of the studio stars found they only had exercise in common, but Samantha kept trying to talk about politics and Nanette was not having it.
Their points kept going down until I made Samantha talk about exercise and only that. I had Samantha leave the table a little early so she would have time to use the bathroom and then she went and turned on the tv while Nanette was in the can. She invited Nanette to watch tv. Then they alternated chess which sometimes is harmful if your sim keeps winning and watching tv where they could talk. Sometimes if you leave them alone the star will talk to you. If they talk to you and your sim agrees with them then that is fine, if they lose points, back to the tv or chess board and exercise it is!
Anyhoo in one day we went from 9 points to The next day I went to studio town and only did one thing. I got a star fairly quickly so I did a print ad and went home when emotions were still high. I invited Nanette back over and while we ate we became friends. Now when you become friends do an all out assault to get the highest number you can, here is what I did: talk about interests, entertain joke, give yellow rose, talk about interests, entertain joke, hug friendly, entertain joke, talk about interests, say goodbye hug.
Nanette and I are at 98 now. Our bottom bar is 12 but who cares? Nanette and I will only be cool until she falls off the whos hot list! I am friends with Nanette, Christine, Audrey, and Ian! I noticed that if I saw a person downtown that I didnt think was famous a lot, they would be on the list the next day. The moral? Be nice to everyone. I noticed that asking another star to stage a stunt hasnt worked for me, maybe because I only have 2 stars? Any thoughts? I also noticed that publicity stunts result in my juggling and a lot of pictures being taken which is great for my star power.
Now I have some questions. Can you see the star autographs that you get anywhere? How do you know your fame rating, so you know how many plusses you need to get to the next fame level?
Thats all for now. This has worked for me, I hope it works for you! DrJulia99 , Sep 19, KayCantDoIt , Sep 27, Have you read the disertations found above to see if your answer was already posted? I actually don't know because I don't even have superstar. I just figured that the answer must be found up there somewhere Great tips! Exellent tips for superstar. I'm going to log off touse them now! It is one of the few expansion packs for the original game not to lend its theme to a later re-make for The Sims 2 ; however, its basic premise of accompanying a playable Sim to their workplace and guiding their actions throughout the working day was revisited in The Sims 2: Open for Business , The Sims 3: Ambitions and The Sims 4: Get to Work , and the mechanics surrounding celebrities were reintroduced in The Sims 3: Late Night , The Sims 3: Showtime and The Sims 4: Get Famous.
Players can now realize their fantasies of fame and fortune as they pursue the dream of being a Rock Star, Movie Star or a Supermodel and live the lifestyle of a celebrity. All new gameplay, new social interactions, and a whole new in-game destination offers players an all access pass to the world of superstardom. Will your Sim become an icon or fade into the obscurity of bad dinner theater?
Will they win a coveted Simmy award or be regulated to an infomercial? In The Sims Superstar, you are the idol maker. The Sims Wiki Explore. Recent posts Game news Community news. Deletion discussions Development discussions Admin discussions Admin's noticeboard.
