Fan
|
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.

Roadie
|
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.

Stagehand
|
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.

Band Manager
|
The band apparently trusts you enough to be the guiding hand behind the scenes. 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.

Music Talent Scout
|
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.

Lyricist
|
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.

Backup Vocalist
|
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?

Lead Guitarist
|
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!

Pop Icon
|
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.

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.

Perform concerts*, Hold Autograph Sessions
|
With the 10th level Rock career, instead of having regular hours, you choose when to perform concerts as long as it is between 3 PM and 11 PM. The amount your Sim receives from a concert depends on the Sim's mood, Guitar Skill, and how many times they've performed before. Also, at the last 3 levels, your Sim can hold autograph sessions at community lots, and gets paid a cut of what the community lot makes during the autograph session. 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 your relationship with the fan.
(*)Only Rock Stars get paid for performances.

Orchestra Member

The Conductor noticed your quartet playing at a wedding and thinks you’re better suited to the orchestra. The position implies a greater access to more wondrous scores and concerts, but also more complex and taxing performances. It appears your career has begun an exciting crescendo.

You’ve fought hard, and finally the glory, the solos, and the section are yours as First Chair. You are the conductor’s right hand, the one she most trusts to get the symphony perfect. It’s time to combine what you know of musicianship and logic to prove your grasp of musical theory is unsurpassed.

Conductor

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.
