Autre grosse nouveauté de l’extension Les Sims 4 Heure de Gloire, la célébrité et la réputation.
These are two separate elements. Fame will determine if you will be recognized in the street, if you will have fans, paparazzi after you, etc. Reputation determines your image in society. If you deface street furniture for example, your grade will go down.
The celebrity
To be famous among the Sims, you "just" have to perform some actions that will increase your fame level. These actions are indicated with a small "+ fame" in green. This can be anything from singing in the street to handing out tickets to everyone who passes by. New options to be recognized are unlocked in most careers and skills.
Fame is composed of several tiers ranging from rookie to global superstar. Each level unlocks fame points allowing you to obtain advantages linked to your image. On the other hand, depending on your actions, you will get "specificities" that will determine your star's whims like eating only perfect food or looking at yourself in the mirror all the time.
Note that it is possible to disable the notoriety directly in the game options.
The reputation
As explained above, the reputation is the image that you send out. The more you do good deeds, the more opportunities the Sims will have. There are 3 levels of good and bad reputation. If you have a great reputation, you will be able to organize charity events and the Sims will be more lenient with you. On the other hand, if you have an atrocious reputation, it will be more difficult to build relationships except by bribing other Sims.
