The Sims 1 - Obsessed Fan

"Why you so obsessed with me?
Boy, I wanna know..."

The obsessed fan is an NPC introduced in The Sims: Superstar. Celebrity Sims with three or more fame stars who do not pay enough attention to their fans, attract an obsessed fan. Obsessed fans stalk the Sim at home and any community lot. They will dig through the Sim's garbage can, and eventually start sneaking into the Sim's home to steal awards. Buildings can be protected with the "Zeddy-Lock Celebrity Security Door," which prevents the obsessed fan and non-famous Sims from passing through it.

A Sim will continue to be stalked by the obsessed fan until they improve their relationships with their fans (the "Anybody"s from Studio Town). However, there are ways to deter or temporarily get rid of the fan. The butler, the Tragic Clown and a dog (when the fan takes a picture of it) will fend him off. If a Sim is on a Studio Town or Vacation Island lot, the Sim can ask Lana or Kana, respectively, to shoo the fan. Another method of ridding the Obsessed Fan is by using a Voodoo doll on him. Also, if there's a ghost on a lot, he'll flee in terror.

The obsessed fan often leaves black roses on a Sim's home lot. In The Sims: Makin' Magic, these roses can be used to produce the Price of Fame charm. If the charm backfires, five obsessed fans appear on the lot. Magical Sims can also use the Toadification spell to turn an obsessed fan into a toad, though the effect is temporary.

The fan bears resemblance to John Hinckley Jr., a stalker of actress Jodie Foster who tried to kill United States President Ronald Reagan in an attempt to impress her.
