The SimGuru’s have already started answering questions on the brand new pack (The Sims 4 Get Famous). Here is what they had to say:
Let me be as clear and straightforward on today's topic as possible… Where your Sim lives has zero bearing on if/how they gain fame, or their reputation. You don't have to live in or travel to Del Sol Valley, and living in Del Sol Valley does not force anything unique on you.

If you beat another Sim by bowling a perfect game, that sure sounds worthy of fame to me. So… yes.

"They said you can gain celebrity status by performing at open mic night or by performing music, but what about dance off, busking, karaoke, djing, selling art, etc.?" Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

No, this pack doesn't offer a way for pets to become famous.

We don't have a "main size." We choose the lot size as needed for the story we're trying to tell at that location. https://t.co/18xm38ySkr

I don't know off the top of my head. It's a big, typical world. I'd say it's consistent. https://t.co/534gYcbKFp

Nah, this is us trying to present it as a full story with all the features combined. https://t.co/mtIvvMTTAp

I am seeing some questions based on today's blog about Fame and wanted to quickly clarify. Sims outside of Del Sol Valley will be able to get famous. However there will be premade Sims living in Del Sol Valley who are already famous as well as some famous Sims as walkbys.

Kids & up.

Some more tea for you all! Children can be some degree of famous, yes. Also we have a fun little Drama Club that kids and teens will be able to join. However, no professional child actors (working with their stage parents would have been nightmares).

Want to be a famous chef? Now you can! Famous painter? Yup, you can do that too.

For this pack we focused on allowing Sims to get famous from careers currently available across multiple packs. We have also taken a brand new approach on an active acting career, allowing you to be more involved in your Sims’ success (or failure) as an actor.

Every expansion we've released for TS4 is paired with multiple videos, Twitch streams, and blogs, so… https://t.co/vv2LkZqShK
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) October 9, 2018
We did a lot of work researching the pros and cons of past celebrity implementations. I think the team did a great job for TS4. https://t.co/8jMNGeNCfm

There is no way this expansion would fit in a game pack. https://t.co/jCWZtOohiP
— Grant Rodiek (@SimGuruGrant) October 9, 2018
I'm super excited for this expansion. It's been a big fan request for a while now! Dave and Lak (prod/design leads) did a really great job driving the team to make something special. And, if this isn't the pack you wanted? We have years of more content/stories planned.

Just wanna know… why can’t unplayed yet greatly skilled sims like Sofia Bjergsen or Penny Pizzazz become celebrity.. why did they choose to spawn random mister Genji Ghomari the pearshaped superstar in his terrible outfit that makes a clown frown ?? Such a waste. Was looking forward to watching Sofia become a star but now she is doomed to fawn over some weirdo with zero skill or career and a wardrobe that makes a clowns look like that of a fashion guru. And Penny was CLS celebrity posterchild yet now she is fan of jobless pearman Genji who just spawned and has no purpose but stalking my sims even though i loathe the pearshaped randoms.
