Guitar

A guitar is an object found in various expansions of The Sims and The Sims 2, The Sims Stories and The Sims 3.

In The Sims, The Sims 2, and all The Sims 2 based games, the guitar performance is controlled by the Creativity skill, and in The Sims 3 by the Guitar skill.

The Sims
In The Sims: Livin Large and The Sims: House Party, guitar performance is controlled by the Creativity skill.

The Sims 2
In The Sims 2: University, guitar performance is controlled by the Creativity skill. If 3 other Sims with similarly high creativity skills get together (4 in total), they can each play the piano, drums and bass, producing a fantastic beat and even earn tips and become a real band. There are 4 options on any instrument: to practice and perform Rock, Jazz or Country. Also, as Creativity climbs, Sims can play the instrument slightly differently. For example, putting the guitar behind their back while playing. In The Sims 2: Pets for Nintendo GameCube, Sims can shoot fire while playing the guitar.

In The Sims 2: Seasons, there is a guitar as a Music career reward, The Rock Hammer, that has no additional functions.

The Sims 3
In The Sims 3, guitar performance is controlled by the Guitar skill. The reputation Sims have with you will increase as they watch you play the guitar. Sim's have three options once they reach at least level five: to play for tips (money), to perform a song/composition, or simply to play. Performing a song makes a Sim reach the next level more speedily. Another option is unlocked at this level when your Sim is with their significant other: they may serenade them. Unlike in any other Sims game, the guitar can be placed in the Sim's inventory and played on community lots.
