Music (career)

A music career is available in The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 2: Seasons and The Sims 3.

The Sims
The musician career track is one of the five Career Tracks from The Sims expansion pack Livin' Large. It has a similar pay at rank 1 and the same pay at ranks 9 and 10 as entertainment from the base game, but follows a much more bent pay curve along the way, with lower pay at every rank except 9 and 10, the fifth-lowest pay in the game at ranks 5 and 6, and the fourth-lowest pay at rank 7, beating only slacker, circus, and education. It also requires a higher number of friends to reach rank 10 than Entertainment does.

A Celebrity Activist will eventually change careers and become a Medium in the Paranormal career track.

The Sims 2: Seasons
The Music career was added in Seasons. The Career reward is The Rock Hammer. It is given at the Roadie level (Level 6). If Apartment Life is installed, Bohemians and Gearheads are likely to work in this career.

The Sims 3
Music is a career track in The Sims 3. It has two branches: Rock and Classical.

Workplace: Theatre

How to apply: Directly at the workplace, newspaper, computer, or upload resume.

Sims in the Rock Star Branch can perform at the Theatre, but only between 3 PM and 11 PM. Note: During a Sim's concert performance, anyone in the Sim's household who watches gets free passes.

Job levels
After the 5th level promotion, the player is asked which path they want the Sim to take: Rock or Symphonic.
