I'M WEEPING TEARS BECAUSE I LOVE ALL OF THIS. You have no idea how much band merch CC I have installed into my game, just to have a semblance of a metalhead presence in-game. I wish we had bands because imagine with the "Get Together" club system, we could have rival bands (like Megadeth vs Metallica). Oh the things I'd love to create. Especially teen bands!
But I'd also tackle dark topics such as disorders and probably have a band leader—provided I have the fame system from "Get Famous" for them—starve to death. Life isn't beautiful as many paint it because there is an equilibrium of good and bad; ying and yang
"Get Famous" was a missed opportunity to bring back bands and add venues from TS3 "Showtime".
