Entertainment

The Entertainment career track is one of the ten basic career tracks for The Sims base game. The Entertainment career track was added to The Sims 2 with the FreeTime expansion pack. In The Sims 2, the Career reward is a "Starstruck" Personal Fame Star. The Entertainment track also appeared in The Sims Life Stories, where it is the career pursued by Riley Harlow, one of the player characters in Story Mode.

The Entertainment career track varies greatly between the three games in which it appears. In The Sims, its promotion levels and job descriptions are similar to those of the Show Business career track from The Sims 2: University, while in The Sims 2: FreeTime it seems to incorporate elements of the Musician, Animal Care, Circus and Superstar careers from the original game's expansions, as well as some NPC careers such as the Mime. In The Sims Life Stories it seems to be more heavily production-based, as most promotion levels involve writing, directing or producing, while only one level involves acting.

There is no Entertainment career track in The Sims 3, though the Acting and Directing branches of the Film career (introduced in Late Night) are similar to the Entertainment career as it appears in The Sims and The Sims Life Stories, respectively. The three performance-based careers (Singer, Acrobat and Magician) introduced in Showtime are similar to the Entertainment career as it appears in FreeTime.

The Sims
A Superstar in this career track will eventually go into the Politics track and become a Congressman or Congresswoman.

The Sims 2
Entertainment is a career track from The Sims 2: FreeTime. The Career Reward is a "Starstruck" Personal Fame Star. If Apartment Life is installed, Bohemians are likely to work in this career.

The Sims Life Stories
In addition to the FreeTime entertainment career, The Sims Life Stories also features an entertainment career track. The career is somewhat different from the FreeTime version, in that it contains more elements of a movie career.
