Fame and Reputation
🕑 Added 2018-11-19 00:54:45 +0000 UTC A quick little status update on what's to come in the new version, as I have been working on the whole reputation bit that we discussed over here. And first of all, let me say that I am grateful for all the input, comments and ideas, some of which I wouldn't have thought of myself.I have now added reputation gains and losses to a whole bunch of interactions, but lo and behold, when I was going to test it out in game I realized that public image reputation won't actually have any effect what so ever until you reach Rank 3 fame... my bad for not actually checking that out before starting on it, but it's all good, as it pushed me to thinking broader on the whole concept of fame and reputation.
There is actually one branch of fame that makes sense if you want to be dealing to the celebrities, namely the middle one, which is all about networking and PR. So, in order for you to actually get some fame as well so you can get into the whole "Dealing to the Stars" schtick, this is my thoughts on how to implement this;
Get Famous
Whenever you assign a celebrity client to your list of clients, you will gain a bit of fame, the higher rank the celebrity has, the more fame you will gain. The only real way to gain fame with Basemental Drugs will then be from performing the "Seal the Deal" interaction with a celebrity.
Once you reach rank 1, you should definitely go for the middle branch of the Fame ladder which starts with "Networking" - from there all you need to do to gain more fame points is actually socializing with your celebrity clients.
Reputation Gains and Losses
When you have managed to get to rank 3, the reputation gains and losses will factor in.
Here is a rundown on what I have done with that so far:
Good Rep
Huge Gain
- Finish Rehab
Large Gain
- Bribe the Police
- Go to Rehab
Small Gain
- Laundering Money
Tiny Gain
- Sharing Weed
- Sharing Shrooms
- Sharing MDMA (to clubbers)
- Sharing Cocaine (to clubbers)
- Sharing Amphetamine (to clubbers)
Bad Rep
Huge Loss
- Getting Raided
Large Loss
- Getting Busted
Medium Loss
- Exchanging sex for drugs
Small Loss
- Sharing Cocaine (to addicts)
- Sharing Amphetamine (to addicts)
Tiny Loss
- Too many witnesses when your Sim is dealing
- Sharing MDMA (to non-clubbers)
- Sharing Cocaine (to non-clubbers)
- Sharing Amphetamine (to non-clubbers)
By setting it up like this, you can really decide for yourself if you want to go down the path of fame and a good or bad public image in terms of dealing to celebrities, or to steer clear of it completely. Personally I think this is a really good approach to the subject matter of fame and reputation.
If all goes according to plan I should most likely have the new version up and running in a couple of days.

I'm fairly new to this mod. Love it so far, but I have a question. It may have all ready been asked and answered before and if so, I apologize. Would it be possible to implement a mirror in the head shop that could be used like the bong only for coke and speed? Sometimes it's kind of difficult to keep my hands steady enough on the mouse to be able to click on coke I've laid on a counter and it would just be more convenient than searching a sink all the time.

Vamp É is already on his way toward infamy just by snacking on necks in public... I can't wait for him to get drunk(er) and high in public to really force that infamy...

This sounds awesome! I was wondering if there could be a way for celebrities to use the phone to summon maybe an infamous drug dealer or something along those lines? And that could contribute to both sims reputations; the drug dealer gets more publicity and the celeb gains a bad reputation? just a thought lol can't wait to see what you do with get famous!

This sounds great! I was actually thinking it would be great to have the dealer gain some sort of celebrity status.I had no idea this was already a WIP! Thanks for doing this. I can't wait to put it into my game!

I will very likely look at this next, once all the rep/fame stuff for dealers is properly in place

This sounds like a great way to go about the fame idea. I didn't weigh in on the poll because I was feeling pretty middling about the idea, but this fleshed out looks like fun.
So will celebrities lose/gain reputation too or just celebrity dealers? I feel like celebrities ODing or doing drugs in public should lose reputation

This all sounds fantastic!

I love it. I have a basketball player that is now an all star. But was trying to figure out how to make him a celebrity. I hope this will help.
