! colspan="3" |1) Fan

|-

| rowspan="6" valign="top" |Before you can create, you must appreciate. The difference between devotee and Fan are miniscule, but it makes all the difference in the world when you’re later asked to join the band on tour. Work hard and act like you’re having a good time, and you just might get on the tour bus.

|-

| rowspan="6" valign="top" |The band is going to need their sandwiches and soda as soon as possible. Don’t forget to pick up their laundry, their lucky bandanas, or their significant others on your way to the show. The band is relying on you for these very “important” tasks—it’s best not to let them down.

! colspan="3" |3) Stagehand

|-

| rowspan="6" valign="top" |Now that you’re on tour as a Stagehand, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with lighting equipment, sound boards, spare guitars, and most importantly, learn to do the microphone check. You’re one step closer to the band, yet still impossibly far away from the stage.

|-

| rowspan="6" valign="top" |So, with the band having their typical drama, they need you to scout the local clubs for new talent. Who knows when they’ll need a new drummer, or bassist, or singer, or pianist, or spouse… or all of the above. Grab the guitar and start learning a few chords… you never know when you’ll need to jump on stage as a replacement.

| colspan="2" |Band Members

|-

| rowspan="6" valign="top" |The band hopes your lyrics will move them from one-hit wonder to rock icons. The first album wasn’t bad, but the label says it’s now or never for the band to hit it big. Keep practicing your music skills and perform plenty of concerts so the fans can hear your best stuff.

|-

| rowspan="6" valign="top" |Hopefully you’re a fan of your own lyrics, because you’re now going to start singing as a Backup Vocalist. The label thinks the band needs some sweet singing to round out their rough, darker side, so once again the welfare of the group falls on your hopefully able shoulders… or should we say vocal chords?

|Band Members

|-

| rowspan="6" valign="top" |You’re a genius with a guitar, at least in the eyes of the band and your fans. Your solos speak to people in ways no lyrics ever could. Aspiring youth all attempt to learn your solos, and adults gleefully air guitar to your songs. The Rock n Roll lifestyle has begun!

|Band Members

|-

| rowspan="6" valign="top" |No matter what your detractors might say, you are clearly and without any doubt, a Pop Icon. Everyone is humming your tunes, and listeners constantly request them from radio stations. Your music will define this generation and all that follow, yet it’s not even time for the encore.

|Band Members

|-

| rowspan="6" valign="top" |The most legendary concerts have your name on the ticket. The chart topping songs come from you. You’re a genius, a rebel, a Rock Star that knows nothing other than the rock, the roll, and all that comes with it. The record label hopes you’re loving the life, because they’re loving you.

Autograph sessions can be held at any time, but during the afternoon more fans will show up. If a fan has to wait too long to get an autograph, it will have a negative influence on the Sim's relationship with the fan.</ref> Celebrity Aura when around other Sims, <ref name=celebrity_aura>Sim will gain a permanent invisible "Celebrity Aura" around them, making Sims either wave cheerfully or boo in disapproval. This invisible aura has no effect on relationships like the [[Criminal#The Sims 3|Emperor of Evil's]] red aura and isn't affected by traits. The aura functions exactly like the aura of leadership the Sims gain at the top of the [[Politics|Political career]] as the Leader Of The Free World. This invisible aura remains even after the Sim quits or retires.</ref>Carpool in Limo

| rowspan="6" valign="top" |There is an entire symphonic orchestra at the tip of your baton, just waiting for your cue to make musical masterpieces. Crowds silently wait with bated breath, just hoping to hear a once-in-a-lifetime performance. Don’t let them down, for that baton can be taken away just as easily as it was given.
