I plan on having a band at some point made with my own sims because I know that you can do that in The Sims 3. There are 4 instruments in Sims 3 that I can choose from. Those would be guitar, piano, bass, and drums.Sonaflux Guitar(Probably the guitar I would go for if I want one of my sims to play the guitar)https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/a/a7/Guitars.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20091226125550Pianohttps://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/8/86/Schnadahupfl_Virtuoso_Grand_Piano.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101104034832Basshttps://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/d/dd/UprightBass.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101221200601Drumshttps://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/0/08/MarvinBeatsDrumKit.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101221203250

I think it depends on your sim’s personality and current skill levels. Care to share them?

If he is the rocker type I would go with the guitar (you can alter to electronic guitar).If he is the classic type I would go with the piano.If he is the hipster type I would go with the bass.And if he has no sense of music but still wants to be a musician I would go with the drums. :lol:

In my game each instrument has it's own skill and they all develop independently. IIRC the Music career has it's own music skill requirement but not specifically guitar. Guitar may be the only one that satisfies it though.

That makes it a bit easier to customize the instrument to your sim. OTOH playing guitar requires a lot of space for some reason, whereas the bass doesn't seem to.

And once again we have a poll where my choice is not listed for me to vote for and there is no "Other" selection. There is no love for the xylophone here? :'(

All of the above! I think that even corresponds with a lifetime wish, should you wish to go that route.

What instrument should my sim play?

Because piano is so classy, and personally I can't resist a man playing the piano. But then again it's all about a sim, so go ahead and why not learn them all? :)

Oh, yes, you’re right, I’m confusing things. It’s in that career that your sim needs to play the guitar to level up. I played a guy once who in my mind rather was a piano man, made him choose the symphonic brand. I was obliged to make him play the guitar though were it came to promoting in his career. Once he’d reached the highest level I could start focusing on the piano for him.

This however has nothing to do with playing in a band, so my argument to choose the guitar in this poll is invalid :disappointed:
