When you send your Sim out on tour, he/she disappears into a rabbit hole building for a period of 12 hours. After that time expires, they'll receive a payment to their household funds immediately. Once another person on your friends list accepts your tour request, you'll receive a report on how well the show went. There is also a chance that they'll receive some of the objects that were thrown at them (except for fruits/vegetables) at this point. Your friend does not have to be online at the time you send your Sim on tour, and you do not need to be online at the time they accept the tour. SimPort requests remain active for 24 hours, or until accepted. You can only have a total of 4 SimPort requests active at any one time.
 
==Sending or Hosting a Sim on tour==
To host or send a Sim for tour, this is done by opening up the SimPort book (either from the Options menu or initiating the inquiry interaction from a [[telephone]] or [[computer]]) and pressing the respective button of the home page's UI. Hosting can also be done by clicking any of the squares in a selected venue's tour stop tab; or available square that your Sim is eligible to be sent for a tour from the profession's tour stop tab. The player then must then selects their Sim to send (or the venue type if hosting), a tour stop and the Online friend they want to send the inquire for the tour to happen. The Home Page also shows any Tour Requests the players has received (maximum of four) from their Online friends to send or host a Sim, which can be accepted or declined.

Completing or accepting a tour gives you a "stamp," which is essentially a marker that shows that you sent or hosted a performer of a certain level or higher to perform at a specific venue. Each performance profession has 15 tour stops that you can make, and each venue has 9 tour stops to accept, for a total of 90 stamps. These stamps are applied across all games, so you'll only have to unlock them all once.
