'''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==
'''Instrument''' [[skill]]s are four similar skills in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' each dealing with a different instrument, [[guitar]], [[bass]], [[drums]] and [[piano]]. The guitar skill is available in the base game but the other three became available with ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]''.
[[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.
These skills are augmented by the [[Artistic]] and [[Virtuoso]] [[trait]]s.
 
== =Statistics ===
Most statistics of each instrument are similar, but they have different titles.
;Compositions learned
*Compositions Learned (Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Laser Rhythm-a-con)
: Increases as the Sim learns more compositions from books.
*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 the Sim will earn more money per tip! (To make 1000+ per tip you need the Guitar Star Celebrity challenge and must have simply performed (not job related or opportunity related - just the guitar playing option) around 333 or more times. Zoom out to perform faster to get this number up.
 
;Master Guitarist / Drummer / Bassist / Pianist / Laser Rhythm-a-con Artist
;Money made
: Tips earned playing the instrument (Using the action Play for tips)
 
;Times watched
: When each Sim watches the musician play, the statistic increases (One/Sim/day?)
 
;Money making tips
: Throwing a party at a public venue will guarantee a large audience. If you have [[The Sims 3: Late Night]] you can play the guitar (or one of the other instruments) in the subway for a higher rate of tips than normal.

Sims with an instrument skill level 5 or abovehigher instrument skill can learn new songscompositions by buying and reading [[BookstoreBook#Sheet MusicCompositions|sheet music from bookstore]].

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.
Experienced Sims can play for tips at level 5. If the Sim plays in a public lot they will gain money and friends really fast. Playing for tips for extended periods of time will most likely lead to completing skill challenges from the [[charisma]] skill although it will not increase their actual skill level in charisma. If done for a very, very long time it may even lead to these challenges triggering for the Sim's spouse. Naturally, the Virtuoso perk is indispensable in the process.
 
Sims can play for tips at level 5. They can go to a community lot and play for tips to earn money from watching Sims. In addition, they can also play for tips in the [[subway]],{{Vgversion|TS3:LN}} which is more efficient because they may earn tips without actual Sims watching them playing. If the Sim has a romantic interest, they can also serenade them with their instrument.
Sims with level 5 instrument 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.
 
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.
== Compositions ==
 
===Compositions===
{|cellpadding="5" border="1" style="border-collapse:collapse; border-color: black; font-size:small;" class="sortable"
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.

===The NotesSims =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.
<references/>
 
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 ==
 
Reaching level 10 of one instrument skill will unlock the corresponding skill [[achievement]].
