The '''Entertainment''' career track is one of the ten basic [[career tracks]] in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]''.. In ''The Sims 2: FreeTime'', the [[Career rewards|career reward]] is a [[Career rewards#"Starstruck" Personal Fame Stars|"Starstruck" Personal Fame Star]]. The Entertainment track also appears 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]]'' and the [[Film]] career track from ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]''; while in ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' it appears to exclude the film/TV theme from the original career track in ''The Sims'', incorporating instead elements from the [[Musician]], [[Animal Care]], [[Circus]] and [[Fame]] 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 [[profession]]s ([[Singer]], [[Acrobat]], and [[Magician (career)|Magician]]) introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime|Showtime]]'' are similar to the Entertainment career as it appears in ''FreeTime''.
 
==The Sims==
 
Of the ten career tracks in the base game, entertainment has the lowest pay at rank 1 but the highest pay at rank 10, making it the exact opposite of the [[military]] career track. It was also in a three-way tie with [[Athletic (career)|pro athlete]] and [[Science (career)|science]] for having the best ratio of pay to friends required to reach max rank (100). In both of these ways, it served as a precursor of sorts to the [[hacker]] track from ''Livin' Large'', which has the absolute highest pay at rank 10 and best pay-to-friends ratio of the game and any of its expansions.
 
At rank 10, because the hours are so short, entertainment pays more money per hour (§1400/5 hours = §280/hr) than any other career track.

==The Sims Life Stories==
[[File:LS Entertainment career.png|left]]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. This makes it more similar to the [[show business]] career track from ''University'' than the ''FreeTime'' career track it shares a name with.
