|description = 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.

|description = 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.

You’ll be instrumental in telling them what gigs to take, where to make their appearances, and what colors the t-shirts should come in. Make sure they like you, because even though you’re in charge, they still pay your salary.

|description = 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.

The Sims

The Musician career track is one of the five Career Tracks from The Sims expansion pack "Livin' Large."

Musician Career Levels
1) Subway Musician
Simoleons are sparse and the looks from passers-by are harsh, but the hours are great. Plus, isn't contributing music to SimCitizens' commutes a community service? Cooking 0 Mechanical 0 Charisma 0
Body 0 Logic 0 Creativity 0
15:00 - 20:00
 Friends requirement 0
§90/day
2) Piano Tuner
Keeping everyone else in tune is a good ground-floor "in" for the music industry. Longer hours, but the work is still relatively easy, though it requires a good ear and plenty of listening. Cooking 0 Mechanical 0 Charisma 0
Body 0 Logic 0 Creativity 0
09:00 - 16:00
 Friends requirement 0
§120/day
3) Wedding Singer
So much for EVER getting a weekend off - you're the best wedding show in town now, and always busy. The pay is a bit better, and you have to start being more creative, too, but you'll get to hob-nob with the rich and famous while they sip their champagne. Cooking 0 Mechanical 0 Charisma 0
Body 0 Logic 0 Creativity 2
09:00 - 15:00
 Friends requirement 0
§250/day
4) Lounge Singer

Body 0 Logic 0 Creativity 5
21:00 - 04:00
 Friends requirement 2
§250/day
5) High School Band Teacher
Squeaky trumpets, whiny violins, off-tempo timpani, and a constantly ticking metronome are the burdens of your trade now, but the hours are the same as all the school-age kids. Cooking 0 Mechanical 2 Charisma 0
Body 0 Logic 0 Creativity 6
07:00 - 14:00
 Friends requirement 2
§325/day
6) Roadie
Time spent tolerating the high-school crowd was worth it - you are now cool enough to take your act on the road - setting up someone else's gear. Long hours are exhausting, but you're having fun and making the right contacts. You will need plenty of body skills, but maybe something cushy will present itself soon. Cooking 0 Mechanical 5 Charisma 0
Body 0 Logic 0 Creativity 7
11:00 - 20:00
 Friends requirement 5
§400/day
7) Backup Musician

Body 4 Logic 0 Creativity 8
12:00 - 21:00
 Friends requirement 8
§550/day
8) Studio Musician
Rest for the road-weary: you get to play back-up on album cuts in the studio now.

Make sure you schmooze all the right people in addition to delivering a perfect performance every day. Cooking 0 Mechanical 5 Charisma 2
Body 5 Logic 0 Creativity 10
10:00 - 17:00
 Friends requirement 9
§700/day
9) Rock Star
Fame, fortune, tours, parties, and a number-one album! Congrats, you're now living every teenager's dream.

Body 7 Logic 0 Creativity 10
17:00 - 02:00
 Friends requirement 12
§1,100/day
10) Celebrity Activist
With all the fame comes a sense of responsibility and social conscience. Use your fame and power to promote the causes you care most about, whether they be political, environmental, social, or intellectual. The hours are easier, the extra pay is almost inconsequential, you're so wealthy, and the Heads of State now send you engraved invitations to their fundraisers. Cooking 0 Mechanical 5 Charisma 10
Body 8 Logic 4 Creativity 10
10:00 - 15:00
 Friends requirement 15
§1,400/day

The Sims 2
