I'm not sure if this is right but for some reason after having a wife and all other daughters at 100% all with a walking on clouds mood I am only getting 20,000 fame whilst my friend Errol is getting 215,000 fame. Is this not normal? Also is this the right place to put problems like this in the future?

Fame earnings are also relative to your current fame.

so if my fame goes up my fame gains will get higher?

Yes, it plays a role.

IIRC, the increase occurs at 1M total fame.

ah ok I understand now. Yeah I got over the 1 mil fame mark and it went to 150,000
