The Sims™ 4: Music Living (Expansion Pack)

Please bring us an expansion pack with the following theme; here's a concept for one of the most requested packs by the community. 

🎶 Live the music. Live the stage. 🎶

A musical life like never before

In The Sims™ 4: Music Living, your Sims can finally chase their musical dreams — from their first alternative gigs to the brightest spotlights. Experience the daily life of solo artists or bands, create hits, face behind-the-scenes drama, and win over audiences with unforgettable performances.

All of this comes with the unmistakable humor, personality, and charm of The Sims.

🎤 Be a solo artist or form a band

Choose your path:

Solo Artist

Build your identity, manage your public image, and decide between artistic authenticity or commercial success.

Bands

Bring together up to 4 Sims, rehearse, strengthen group chemistry, and face creative conflicts that can elevate — or break — a career.

Every choice shapes your Sim’s artistic journey.

🌆 New World: Elysium Harmonic
