Complete Acting Career Guide | The Sims 4 Get Famous

get ready to perform the actor or actress career is a playable career that comes with the get famous expansion pack it's the best career for gaining fame as you would really expect and it's also rather unique after entering into this career you'll be prompted to join an agency being either the artificial intelligence staffing or everyday extras with two more agencies becoming available when you reach level four of the career i personally prefer the ai staffing to start as they'll send you sassy messages telling you to shower i'll talk more about agencies later but know that they're all relatively similar and don't have too much impact so pick whichever one you want to start you can also change agencies at any time once you've officially started your career you'll notice you have no scheduled work days that's new instead you'll have to complete gigs to get promoted which is a two-step process the first of which involves auditioning for this check what auditions are open which is available from the career panel or by using the check for gigs option on your phone different gigs require different skills so ideally you want to pick to audition for one that you have the skill level for or that you know you can get before the audition begins auditions themselves are rather simple you'll want to ensure you have the skill level suggested and also put your sim in a confident mood as that's the ideal career mood before they head off to their audition which functions similarly to a few hours at work and a regular career an easy way to get your sim in a confident mood is to have them brush their teeth before work a bit strange but you soon don't want stank breath at work now provided you've done these things there's a very high chance you'll pass the audition which then shifts your focus towards the gig itself and it's something that you do have to prepare for note that there is a way to skip auditions which i'll talk about later so now you've got an upcoming gig and you'll notice on your work panel you'll have a series of preparation tasks that you need to perform these are actually quite important when it comes to how you perform during your active day at work so you want to try and tick these off if possible the easiest preparation task to do is work on a skill and for this all you need to do is literally spend some time honing the skill that's specified another task is to develop friendship with your co-stars you'll notice there's an option on your career panel and again from your phone to invite over directors and co-stars simply do this and they'll rock up out of nowhere and then all you'll have to do is complete some friendly interactions with them very simple too you may also need to research an emotion such as flirty playful or angry and then perform corresponding socials while in that mood state when a sim has this task they'll be able to click on themselves and research that emotion which will put them in the state needed i also found having a range of emotional paintings in my house very handy for achieving the required moodlet either through viewing the emotional work or through enabling its aura a few corresponding interactions while in the state for example funny socials for playful and this will tick off another type of task is to perform particular type of scenes such as a romance or action scene which you can easily do with another sim this is straightforward however performing different scenes are unlocked at various acting skill levels meaning sometimes you can be tasked to perform a scene that you simply are unable to do at your current level for example romance scenes are unlocked at level 3 action at 6 and drama scenes at level 10 so spending some time honing your acting skill itself is very helpful for this one alrighty you've passed the audition you prepared for your gig you're looking hot and it's time for your active day at work this can be broken up into two parts being preparation and performance note that once you talk to the director to start your performance you can no longer complete any of the preparation tasks so it's important to get them done at the start your workday performance bar and tasks are on the top left once the task is completed you'll be replaced by another and how well you do on the day will impact on how much job performance gain you'll receive how much pay you'll get and the amount of fame you gain all things we want as you would expect the better performance the better the outcome and finishing with a full gold bar which is actually quite easy to do will almost always give you a promotion the pre-performance tasks are all quite simple and straightforward you generally will need to use social media chat to or rehearse with your co-stars practice acting a little and maybe grab a bite to eat i suggest doing everything you can before progressing next up is getting your hair and makeup done because you're a star which are in two little rooms to the side of the studio again this is very easy to do simply click on the chair in the makeup room or the little podium in the fitting room to get it done there's also a way to skip this which i will go into later you're looking amazing you've got your outfit you're ready all you need to do now is let the director know that you are ready he or she is usually hanging out in the middle of the room looking real chill and then after you talk to them it's time for the second part being the performance depending on the gig there's usually between three and six acting scenes to perform and this is where your preparation tasks come into play you'll see markers on the ground which will glow when they want the work tasks to be performed clicking on them will see two performance options one being safe and one being risky failing your performance will provide no performance boost a safe completion a bit of a boost and a risky completion will give double the performance boost of the safe option now next to the risky option you'll notice a little icon and this icon will correlate to one of the icons next to the preparation tasks you did if you completed that preparation task then there's a good chance you'll be able to pull off the risky option and i suggest always going for the risky option if you've done the preparation work that correlates to it if you haven't then consider going for the safer route as choosing the risky option and then failing will give you nothing honestly with just a little bit of luck and i'm talking about the smallest amount of luck you going through the process will see you finish days at work with a full performance bar relatively consistently so now you've got a fabulous grasp on what's involved in the actual active career itself but there is the fame component which ties in becoming a celebrity goes hand in hand with this career and there's one perk tree in particular that is hugely beneficial to your success as an actor or actress now there are three main perk trees with five tiers and you want to go down the one on the right which starts with a noticeable perk once you reach a one star celebrity this will basically help you gain fame faster across the board at a level 2 star celebrity you can pick up the celebrity serum perk which will mean helpful potions start dropping into your mailbox these increase skill gains and can put you in certain moods so they're great for helping you prepare for a gig but it's the three star or b-list celebrity perk being established name that is the big winner this will allow your sim to completely skip auditions say goodbye to auditions we don't care about them and on top of this you'll no longer have to do hair and makeup during a day on set it makes the career loads easier and much much more simple on top of this if your sim has a side hustle they'll receive more money from royalties or selling crafted goods too as a four-star celebrity if you pick up the career hopper perk this will allow you to switch careers and join others at higher levels as well as rejoin past careers at the level you left so if you ever want to break from acting this is the one for you finally as a five star celebrity you can pick up easy street which doubles your paycheck this means you can easily pocket over ten thousand simoleons from a gig it's actually insane so that's all the fundamentals now just some quick tips to finish at level four in the career two more agencies become available being the g-r-a-n talent agency and the well-suited talent agency i highly suggest using your phone to switch to one of these g-r-a-n will let you take on more musical or historical roles at lower levels and send you flowers when you pass an audition while suited will see you get more pay for certain types of gigs such as drama and action either of these are generally better than the two starting agencies next is that it can be really helpful to have a side hustle that can generate some extra fame to give you some access to perks faster particularly the established name perk this could be selling paintings or streaming your actors life with a drone or writing and publishing books there's lots of options to choose from as you progress up the career you can purchase performance markers which will let you complete performances in your own home these are great for story building and at home practicing or creating your own set at level 8 acting you unlock the hashtag basic microphone stand which will allow you to increase your skill gains faster than the regular microphone does following a gig you don't have to leave right away you can choose to stay behind and explore the studio and surrounding area if you want to alas thank you so much for watching that's a
