Get Famous - Discussion Time

Alright! Even though the "Yes" option was slightly in the lead for that last poll I decided to shut it down, due to the number of comments that felt strongly about this not being the best approach. And... all in all, that is what my initial thoughts were as well, as I felt it just might be a tad unrealistic in terms of how that system works.

What I have been doing so far with Get Famous is this:

The higher the Drug Dealers skill level, the higher chance of these interactions to be successful.
That way they can start dealing to the Stars, and actually once they get acquainted, even being seen with them in public or some social interactions with them can give you Fame Points, so if you want to venture onto the Road of Fame, that can be done by simply doing this.


So, let's talk about Reputation for a bit.

A lot of you brought up the even better idea than Fame, to utilise the reputation system.
My immediate thoughts are that dealing in itself or doing drugs shouldn't be inherently something that gives you good or bad reputation.

In terms of what I reckon should give you reputation points however;

Good Rep

Bad Rep

Instead of making a poll about this, I would much rather you guys comment underneath this thread with your ideas. Someone already brought up the idea of Celebrity Rehab which is a fantastic idea and definitely something I'd like to add to the mod. Any and all ideas revolving Get Famous, and the reputation system in general is much appreciated so I can take a look at it when I start working on that part.

It definitely will. Thanks for the suggestion

Basemental

Thanks for the great suggestion, rep gains/losses will depend on the drug in question and whom it is shared with in the upcoming version.

Basemental

No suggestion is a bad suggestion. I am not sure how it should factor into the equation seeing that the Rehabs are rabbithole events, but thanks for the suggestion, nonetheless!

Basemental

I haven't even started looking into the vault stuff yet, thanks for the heads up, though :)

Basemental

Selling drugs in front of witnesses will give you bad rep with the new version

Basemental

This is also a splendid idea, and definitely something I'll take into account whenever I get around to start working on AA and NA meetings

Basemental

That is definitely a good idea. I will jot it down.

Basemental

The ability to sell large quantities to high level celebrities will be a thing in the new version

Basemental

IRL celebrities lose the respect of the public when their children act up in public... Martin Sheen definitely doesn't score any "Father of The Year" points for how his son Charlie turned out...

Athena Apollos

I second that!

shreddlog

make heroin even the needle animation.

Maybe something where the super famous people will pay you extra to sell them higher quality drugs, or with max level or something, will finance you to provide them with much more quantity so instead of selling a large amount to only 1 person a day, they could buy a couple at a time or something. (You know, rich celebrity parties).

i like what some people have said about points for dealing to the most celebs. Kinda famous to the celebs as the guy but not known outside the circles.

Raids are already in the game. It will occur if you sell large quantities without laundering your money or bribing the cops occasionally. You can read up about it here <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/basemental-drugs-22083567">https://www.patreon.com/posts/basemental-drugs-22083567</a>

I would also like to see a raid of houses randomly.

-Good rep is if they rarely get busted as a consistent dealer. (Kinda like how in breaking bad). -Good rep gained after going to rehab. -Good rep for successfully dealing drugs without being busted. -Good rep from dealing drugs to famous sims. -Good rep for selling higher quality drugs. -I would also like to see some interaction to go to the hospital in get to work maybe? (After OD) -Bad rep for publicly doing drugs. -Being wasted often (3 times a week) (gives bad rep ever 3ed time.) -Bad rep for going to work on drugs or wasted. -Bad rep for selling low quality drugs to celebrities.

...just realized...Unless that’s what you meant when you explained what you’ve done thus far lol in that case, sounds good!

Alright, hear me out lol. Okay, so usually celebrities who dabble in narcotics happen to have one solid dealer, and for them they get the hook up and for the dealer they get A1 business from said celebrity’s associates. You could put your take on that into the game, and say like the dealer can only acquire fame points from making more celebrity contacts to sell to, because it’s growing is clientele, obviously. As for the fans interactions, I believe that’s disable-able lol somewhere in the game or probably MCC or something? Or your genius ass could figure out another way, I’m sure lol. Just a thought :) But I think any additional feature that you can turn off if you’re not a fan, is probably the better way to go if you’re not sure whether it should be in the game or not, rather than just not having it at all and then those who wanted it, miss out IMO.

Yeah, I am not completely sure that wasted should give bad rep either, but rather Fame Points lost for famous Sims. Working out the kinks and setting up a list that makes more sense in total for this here with the Fame Points being more deductions for certain actions than actual gains

Basemental

Sounds good. I just worry about the bad rep for being wasted. I find that my sims get wasted quite often if I'm out at clubs or bars between ordering rounds and autonomous drink orders. It wouldn't really be ideal to turn off autonomous drink ordering to avoid getting a bad rep either. Maybe it could work if there was a higher level of drunkenness that was more difficult to achieve before getting a bad rep?

Revy Rei

Since you are doing it by spending time at a legit store and appear law abiding I definitely think it should give good rep

Basemental

I really like this a lot (i was going to suggestion something along this) so you read my mind...

ToyMouse

LOL...I like the idea of being a good drug dealer gives you good rep. That's epic.

Cinjan

This was the perfect route to go, I don't think laundering money should add rep since its something that nobody really knows your doing or shouldn't know at least but all the other ideas sound good

Doing or dealing drugs in front of children should give you a bad reputation lol

I like that idea too!!!

Athena Apollos

I love this idea

Duwhatgsimsdu

Personally I view it as a feature similar to the rehab option right now, but with more "pampered" buffs when they return

Basemental

like if you get invited to bluffs the call would instead say "therese a huge drug party going on" and there actually being drugs and wasted sims

Sero

would someone like to go over "celeb rehab" with me?

Sero

just throwing another idea out there: good rep if you sell another celebrity some good quality drugs and they can call you for larger amounts

That would be more in the interests of realism...awesome idea. With the Celebrity Rehab they should get rewards for 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 , 12 months (etc) for being drug free afterwards.

LaDonna Bugg

I like the idea, but I genuinely can't think of anything that could give someone a good rep in conjunction with this mod. But I also don't necessarily want someone to get a bad rep because they smoke weed and share it. Probably have some public intoxication bad rep points. I don't think there should be a fame tied in aspect, just reputation, but if other people like the idea and it isn't too much work maybe you could have 2 flaors: fame eddition + rep and a rep system only?

Kemi Lynn

I think selling in public should also be bad rep if there are other sims around. If I saw a celeb selling drugs IRL on the street, it would be all over the tabloids. Also, maybe if they show up to work drunk or high, should have some of consequence, like maybe losing some of your performance?

I'm just throwing this out there in case it's not widely known yet but, your sim (any sim) can now break into and steal from another sims vault. No Klepto trait required! I've tested this a couple of different ways. Could play nicely into expanding the criminal element side of the mod. And the stand alone vault door can safeguard entire rooms or basements so perhaps, this could offer protection of stashes during raids? I even tried turning the vault door around and locking it from the inside as a "safe room". Worked great! :-)

SimScandalous

some kind of ability to throw an underground rave would be cool

Overdosing in public could be a big reputation hit. I could also see making having sims’ teenage children be wasted in public or addicted to drugs causing a HUGE reputation hit.

Jen

Awesome. Thank you! I wondered if the new crystal helmet is something that could be utilised in rehab or something? I'm just getting into the pack and haven't tried the stuff out much so apologies if this suggestion is totally unsuitable.

Miss rachel wright

I'm down for it, sounds A-1

Oh, and maybe after a sim has gone to rehab for (drug), if they do that in public afterwards, I imagine there would be a lot of public tsking. :P

That sounds really great! Better than fame! :)

MadhattersTwin

I think sharing drugs should probably vary depending on what drug is being shared, since some drugs have more, mm, baggage than others in the public eye? What would be ideal is if it could change depending on who witnesses it, but I don't know if that's remotely possible with how the system works. Like straight edge people wouldn't think 'how generous!' if they saw someone handing out mollies, but clubbers would, etc.

Can't wait to get my actors to mirror the RL actors 😈 Can't wait to see the next version

Jamjars

this is so cool, but i would like to add that going to rehab should give you good rep as well

Also if celebrities are more inclined to alcoholism

Oh I love where you are going with this now.

Oh. I like these better.

Fiona John

I think alright cool

Larraine pratt

I think it would be cool if doing drugs in public gave you bad rep, depending on what drug it is, weed not so much and coke more etc.

I think this is cool !
