'''Instrument skills''' are a variety [[skill]]s dealing with different types of instruments in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. They allow Sims to become more skilled in playing those instruments.
 
==The Sims 3==
'''Guitar''' is a [[skill]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]''.
[[File:Guitar skill icon.png]][[File:Drums skill icon.png]][[File:Bass skill icon.png]][[File:Piano skill icon.png]][[File:Laser Rhythm-a-con skill icon.png]][[File:Violin skill icon.png]]<br />
In ''The Sims 3'', there are six different instrument skills: [[guitar]], [[bass]], [[drums]], [[piano]], [[laser rhythm-a-con]], and [[violin]]. The guitar skill is available in the base game, the violin skill is added by buying the [http://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:65647 Fit as a Fiddle Violin] from [[TheSims3.com|''The Sims 3'' Store]], or by buying the ''[http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:65646 Duke of Bows Renaissance Faire]'' set; the bass, drums, and piano skills are featured in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]],'' and the Laser Rhythm-a-con skill is featured in ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. These skills are augmented by the [[virtuoso]] [[Trait (The Sims 3)|trait]].
 
The four instrument skills, i.e. guitar, bass, drums, and piano, are also known as band skills.{{Vgversion|TS3:LN}} These instruments essentially have the same features, such as the ability to jam, perform for tips in the subway, learn compositions, and be used for a [[band]]. Laser Rhythm-a-con is also considered a band skill, though it has some limitations, such as the lack of ability to jam and be used for a band. Violin skill, however, is a standalone skill that is not related to the other instrument skills. It cannot be used for a band either.
The skill is augmented by the Artistic and Virtuoso [[trait]]s.
 
== =Statistics ===
Most statistics of each instrument are similar, but they have different titles.
;Compositions Known: Increases as you learn more compositions (by books),
*Compositions Learned (Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Laser Rhythm-a-con)
*Percent of Compositions Known (Violin)
*Number of times compositions have been performed (Guitar, Laser Rhythm-a-con)
*Compositions Played (Bass, Drums, Piano)
*Total Played Compositions (Violin)
*Total Played Medieval Compositions (Violin)
*Times Watched (Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano)
*Number of times Sims have watched you perform (Laser Rhythm-a-con)
*Total Watchers (Violin)
*Money Made (Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano)
*Money earned through playing the Laser Rhythm-a-con (Laser Rhythm-a-con)
*Tips Earned (Violin)
 
===Challenges===
;Number of times compositions have been performed
[[File:Sim playing guitar.jpg|thumb]]
:Use the action "Perform compositions" to increase this statistic.
Most instruments have identical skill challenges. Violin doesn't have skill challenges, however.
:Each time a composition is performed you will earn more money per tip! (To make 1000+ per tip you need the guitar star celeb challenge and must have simply performed (not job related or opportunity related - just the guitar playing option) 333+ ish times. Zoom out to perform faster to get this number up.
 
;Master Guitarist / Drummer / Bassist / Pianist / Laser Rhythm-a-con Artist
;Money earned through playing guitar: Tips you've earned playing the guitar (Using the action Play for tips)
 
;Number of times Sims have watched you perform: When each Sim watch you play, the statistic increases (One/Sim/day?)
 
== [[Challenge]]s ==
;Master Guitarist
:Master Guitarists learn to play every song awarded to them and available for purchase at the store. After learning so many songs, they receive a special Master Track!
 
;Guitar / Drum / Bass / Piano / Laser Rhythm-a-con Star<ref>This challenge cannot be completed by playing instruments in a party, despite its description. It is required to complete 10 of any instrument opportunities that reward money to complete this challenge.</ref>
;Guitar Star
:Guitar Stars must play at 10 Parties and Venues in the town to earn their title. AfterwardsAfterward, they earn larger monetary rewards for tips and performances!
: This may be one of the hardest challenge to complete. The description is very misleading. You can not be Guitar Star just by having 10 house parties with friends and play guitar there. You must succeed in 10 guitar skill opportunity card. It is not Music career opportunity card. The hardest part is getting the guitar skill opportunity card at all. It is recommended you don't have any job (including Music career) and any other skill (not even basic cooking skill. Eat Quick Meal or pizza). Just play guitar for tip on the park and street day and night, day after days. Then, the opportunity cards will come. It takes about 6 Sim weeks.
:or
I have come up with an easy way to obtain the Guitar Star achievement although it will require the use of cheats. This is how you will be able to get the Achievement:<br /><br />1) Be employed in the Culinary Career (Doesn't matter which job you have)<br />2) Max out your guitar skill 3) Type in "Testingcheatsenabled true" in the cheat bar<br />4) Shift-Click on your workplace (The Diner)<br />5) Click "Force Opportunity"<br />6) Cancel any opportunities until you receive one that mentions playing the Guitar<br />7) Fulfil the conditions of the opportunity<br /> Repeat 4-7 until you get the achievement<br />This has been tested and proven (To Myself) so enjoy, and if you fail due to the opportunity time limit, try again and eventually, you'll get it.
 
;Money Maker
:Earn §25,000 playing the guitarinstrument to earn a new Master Track to perform. Money can be earned through tips or by completing [[Opportunitiesopportunities]].
 
== =Abilities ===
[[File:Gas sims2-1-.jpg|thumb|A Sim playing guitar in the park]]
{{Stub}}
Sims with level 5 or higher instrument skill can learn new compositions by buying and reading [[Book#Compositions|sheet music from bookstore]]. Compositions can only be learned once, and after Sims finish learning it, the sheet music will vanish. Some compositions are available to be learned from completing Master Guitarist / Bassist / Drummer / Pianist / Laser Rhythm-a-con Artist and Money Maker challenges.
 
Unlike the other instruments, violin skill doesn't have sheet music in the [[bookstore]]. Sims will instantly learn violin compositions when they reach higher skill levels. Violin also has 2 types of compositions: normal and medieval composition.
Sims with guitar skill level 5 or above can learn new songs by buying and reading [[Bookstore#Sheet Music|sheet music from bookstore]]. Sheet music is used up when learned and must be bought again for another Sim to learn it. Two more songs are available from Master Guitarist challenge and Money Maker challenge.
 
Experienced Sims can play for tips at level 5. IfThey youcan playgo into a publiccommunity place you will gain moneylot and friends really fast. Playingplay for tips for extended periods of time will most likely lead to completingearn skill challengesmoney from thewatching CharismaSims. skillIn althoughaddition, itthey willcan notalso increaseplay yourfor actualtips Charismain skill.the If[[subway]],{{Vgversion|TS3:LN}} donewhich foris amore very,efficient verybecause longthey timemay itearn maytips evenwithout leadactual toSims thesewatching challengesthem triggeringplaying. forIf the Sim's spouse.has Naturallya romantic interest, thethey Virtuosocan perkalso isserenade indispensablethem inwith thetheir processinstrument.
 
More skilled Sims will create an "Enjoying Music" moodlet when Sims are around. The moodlet effect will be higher if the Sim has higher skills. The moodlet will start appearing with skill level 5 with +15 effect, and the effect will increase by +5 for each skill level. Sims who master the skill will create the moodlet with +40 effect. The effect does not stack with other music sources however, like stereo.
Sims with level 5 guitar skill will create a positive [[moodlet]] of +15 to all those around. This moodlet increases by +5 with every additional skill point up to a maximum of +40. This effect does not stack with the moodlet caused by a stereo; whichever is strongest will give the moodlet.
 
===Compositions===
;Warning
Each instrument, excluding violin, has special master track compositions. Guitar, piano, bass, and drums have four master tracks, while Laser Rhythm-a-con has five. Three (four for Laser Rhythm-a-con) of the master tracks can be randomly learned by completing the Master Instrumentalist and Money Maker challenges, as well as maximizing the skill if the Sim has the [[virtuoso]] trait. The last master track for guitar can be learned by completing a certain opportunity.
: A bug report says that putting away a sheet music into a bookcase renders Sims unable to learn the song.

==The Sims 4==
In '' The Sims 4'', there are four different instrument skills: [[guitar]], [[piano]], [[violin]] and [[pipe organ]]. The guitar, piano and violin skills are in the base game, while pipe organ is added in ''[[Vampires]]''. The [[inspired]] emotion is helpful to raising these skills, as it gives Sims a boost to instrument skill gain. These skills are also augmented by the [[creative]] [[Trait (The Sims 4)|trait]], as those Sims tend to be more inspired than others. Sims with the [[music lover]] trait can also be better at raising instrument skills, as they become more inspired from listening to music and become [[happy]] from playing instruments. The Musical genius [[Aspiration (The Sims 4)|aspiration]] is heavily centered around raising instrument skills. [[Child]]ren can also learn the guitar, piano and violin after mastering their [[Creativity (The Sims 4)|creativity]] skill.
 
Sims can start gaining tips from playing instruments out in the public; the higher their instrument skill, the more [[Simoleon]]s they will gain. [[Lounge]]s include guitars and violins, making them a great place for Sims to gain tips. ''[[City Living]]'' comes with a performance stand, that also allows Sims to gain tips. They are found in the neighborhoods of [[San Myshuno]] and Sims can also buy one of their own, which they can carry in their [[inventory]] to wherever they want.
== Opportunities ==
