Re: Music categories are missing while singing

@01Lena07 

You're losing me I think.  The karaoke machine, musical instruments and the microphone all have different song categories but they do share some.  For instance, folk songs are not on the karaoke machine and disco is not on the piano or keyboard.  So just because you see Jazz on the microphone does not mean that it will be present on the keyboard unless you've also leveled up the piano skill enough so the Jazz option becomes available.  

You've said that you singing was level 5.  But what is the sim's piano skill level?  You have to have both skills leveled up to see more than Folk on the keyboard or piano.

Hope this helps.

    @CGrant56 Thank you, but I know how it relates to other instruments. Apart from all the other instruments, I'm just talking about singing on the microphone. I could already sing these categories, but they just don't appear to me. The level of ability is high enough, it can't be. It just doesn't update and so I'll never be able to sing other categories, no matter what level. I think it's a mistake from the game that I don't see anything new at which level. After all, it's on the board myself that I unlocked the categories.

    @01Lena07 You've probably tried this, but, sometimes when the game is being stubborn like that, going to manage worlds and coming back to the lot resets things so that it registers.

    You could also try saving and exiting the game and reloading if that doesn't work.

    Thank you for the many answers. I've now restarted the game, left and allow it again, etc., but unfortunately nothing again. Then I went to the next step and, as you said, I cheated singing at level 10, but even there, no new categories were displayed to me. So I cheated back, but nothing again.

    Now I've tried what it's like when I go to manage worlds and back again. Unfortunately, that didn't help either.

    OKAY, I've checked again now and I think it's up to the age group. Thank you anyway for the many help.

    @01Lena07 you mean it works for one age group but not for others ? Which ones don't work for you ?

    @crinrict I think it works for all ages, where you can sing, except for the age group of children. In the folk category are children's songs, perhaps these are the only songs of the age group to be sing so far. In any case, it's the only option I see.
