What is your current game version number? 1.68.156.1020

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not for this. It's happening with a brand-new Sims 4 folder generated when I took out my old one (I always take out my whole Sims 4 folder from User>Documents>Electronic Arts when installing new packs). Just to check, I tried it with my old saves as well, both with and without my mods folder (mods and custom content). Happens under all circumstances.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. 1.68.156.1020
I'm having the exact same problem. The only difference is that I just bought and installed Get Famous today (11/20), three days after I installed and was playing with the latest patch from 11.17.20.

After installing the Snowy Escape expansion I can no longer turn off the fame function in the game settings. If I check the box, it automatically becomes unchecked when I attempt to save the setting. Same goes for if I check it and just try to X out of the settings. I have no mods installed, I have all of the expansion and packs except for Journey to Batuu

I have the same problem after the patch. It ruïns the storyline i was playing. I didn't do the patch update until yesterday. I had no problems before the update. After updating yesterday the problem with checking the box for start without fame was there. I hope it gets fixed soon.

I bought Get Famous after the patch, and since I can't get my money back, I went into every single household, in every single world, and individually selected for them to "Quit The Spotlight".
It took about half an hour, and I'll have to go back around when some of the babies/toddlers age up to children. I also have no idea if townies will still be able to gain fame, so I used MCCC to make fame gain super slow. If figure if I ever want fame for a career, I can set it back to normal.
But since I wanted to use the pack I, you know, paid for, lol, I'm trying that in the meantime. Just putting this up as a possible workaround.
It just sucks the patch broke something something so core to Get Famous, with no idea when it'll be fixed.
@Zilverwolf2 Someone else said that if it's an old save where you already had everyone opted-out, they should still be opted out. It's just new saves that are opted in automatically. So maybe check your sims to see if they're still opted-out?

@DellaLuna48 Can you tell me which MCCC setting you used? I can't find one for it. Thanks!
