I just played for 4 hours straight...

And my single household sim is only a 3 star celebrity with 3 friends...every little victory feels so hard earned!

If anyone knows any good guides for getting to 5 star fire away. I have found a couple of forums from 2007 (makes me feel so weird and happy that those forum post as relevant today!) but more info the better.

I've recorded about 4 inheritance/death scenes and lost and gained a star in between. I also recorded a song for good measure. It doesn't have any additional requests in the tab so I'm hoping I just need to record a couple more and it will gain more stars.
