Generate A Fan Mail Flurry

The items, of course, can be sold for simoleons if the celebrity does not need or want them, especially if they are expensive objects.
Influencers, however, can also attract some unwanted attention. Celebrities can randomly acquire the "Fan" Mail quirk, leading to less desirable items, such as rotten fish or spoiled food, being delivered to their mailbox.

It is ideal for career-driven Sims and those attempting to become a Renaissance Sim, a difficult aspiration that requires excelling in multiple career paths.
Sims with the Career Hopper perk are hired at higher starting positions when they join new careers, thanks to their fame. They also enjoy increased job performance and faster promotions, as their bosses are keen to satisfy their famous employees. If they decide to leave a job, they can always return to the same career with the exact job title they left with.

This perk is especially beneficial for players looking to fast-track relationships and lay the groundwork for creating dynamic storylines.
