I always wanted my sims to continue on the legacy that The Sims 1 brought us for the entertainment industry in The Sims 1 Superstar for The Sims 2, but Maxis decided to skip over that, and release it with Sims 3 (boo!) I personally didn't care too much for the way the custom superstar career was written up on mts, and I wanted to do a career like this for a long time but never got around to writing it until now. The career has 6 chance cards written up, as well as it's own unique GUID, so it won't overwrite any custom or Maxis careers. The career levels have a number by them, so you can keep track of where your sim is going. The career reward is the teleprompter (not sure if that comes with an EP or not, if so you need that EP). Now one thing to keep in mind, you will need at least one EP for this career to work. If a lot of people say they need a base game compatible version, I will make one if not I'll leave it as is. It doesn't matter which EP you have as long as you have one of them. Otherwise the game will crash if you try to install this career with base game only. I've thrown in some obvious alterations of celebrity names, awards, and companies in the job descriptions and chance cards to spice things up a bit.
