The Sims 3 The Sims 3: Late Night The Sims 3: Into the Future


Instrument skill

a Sim with her guitar

For the similar skill, see Creativity (skill).

Instrument skills are six similar skills in The Sims 3 each dealing with a different instrument, guitar, bass, drums, piano, laser rhythm-a-con, and violin. The Guitar skill is available in the base game, Violin skill is added from The Sims 3 Store Duke of Bows Renaissance Faire set; Bass, Drums, and Piano skills are featured in The Sims 3: Late Night, and Laser Rhythm-a-con skill is featured in The Sims 3: Into the Future. These skills are augmented by the Virtuoso traits.

The five instrument skills, i.e. Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, and Laser Rhythm-a-con, are also known as Band skills[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 band. Violin skill, however, is a standalone skill that are not related to the other instrument skills. It also cannot be used in a band.

Statistics

Most statistics of each instrument are similar, but they have different titles.

  • 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

Most instruments have identical skill challenges. Violin doesn't have skill challenges, however.

Master Guitarist / Drummer / Bassist / Pianist / Laser Rhythm-a-con Artist
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 Rhtyhm-a-con Star[1]
Guitar Stars must play at 10 Parties and Venues in the town to earn their title. Afterward, they earn larger monetary rewards for tips and performances!
Money Maker
Earn §25,000 playing the instrument to earn a new Master Track to perform. Money can be earned through tips or by completing opportunities.

Abilities

A Sim playing guitar in the park

Sims with level 5 or higher instrument skill can learn new compositions by buying and reading 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 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[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.

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

Each instrument, excluding violin, has several special master track compositions. These compositions can only be learned by completing the Master Instrumentalist and Money Maker challenges. Even though there are multiple master tracks, only two of them can be learned randomly.
