Obviously you should do both. If it means hours of community service, or living in a rehab centre for the next year then so be it. All publicity is good publicity in the bizarre world of showbiz. So, to find The Sims; Superstar, the sixth expansion pack of the most successful game series ever, totally ignoring such ignominious yet enormously amusing behaviour and opting instead to simulate something akin to the squeaky clean existence of a Songs Of Praise presenter is a major disappointment.

Gameplay mostly revolves around singing karaoke and miming in sushi bars, which is hardly blockbuster material. Likewise, frequenting all the favoured haunts of Studio Town's The Sims equivalent of Hollywood musicians and actors in an attempt to befriend them with The Sims trademark loon gibberish soon becomes tedious. There really are only so many A-List arses you can lick before extreme irritation with everything from the sound of their voices to the flaky Al sets in.
