Note: I copy/paste this bands idea in almost all music/ band dedicated threads ‘cause I ain’t gonna write it all down again.
And kiddos, I certainly need a fair % just for bumping this one. ?
Bands and Musical Ensembles.
- A system very like the GT Club mechanics will give a player the option to form a band or a musical group.
- A sim with enough skill in a particular instrument can start a band or ensemble and start a band practice.
- A band or group with high enough band skill will be able to organize a gig, or attract a manager who will organize gigs for them.
- A band may be invited to play at a Wedding or other Event.
- A band or group will receive ratings based on their performance and music sales.
- The group can give their revenue a boost with sales in merchandise.
Some bands or ensembles that can be created:
- Rock/ Indie/ (Synth) Pop band.
- Hip Hop/Rap group.
- Choir. (kids,classical, gospel)
- String Quartet.
Instruments and skills that currently exist but can be used in combination:
- Piano.(BG) Synth (CL)
- Acoustic Guitar. (BG)
- Violin.(BG).
- Singing. (CL)
- Organ. (Vampires).
Instruments and skills to be added to such an EP:
- Electric Guitar.
- Bass Guitar.
- Drums.
- Cello & Double Bass.
- A Rapper Mic/ Sound Box?
- Saxophone
Crossover with other EP's:
- Bands performance level will influence the Fame system in GF.
- A Sim with a DU degree in Fine Art or Drama will get higher pay out for completed gigs.
- Gigs will be added to the calendar in Seasons.
- Create a Merch. Store via GTW retail.
I can see this as part of an EP as I'm aware it takes a considerable amount of resources to record music for different genres at different levels in different combinations and create animations based on each variant.
But hey, it would be nice.
ETA: I'd like to add that a world with music venues and stages should be part of this EP.
