Singer/musician career, concerts and fame

So all of these exist seperately. There's a musician career in the jobs, your sim will go to work and will eventually be able to write songs on piano, violin and guitar (which takes ages, but that's another topic). The career is off world and you can't "play" it.

You can have your sims sing in City Living, but only Karaoke. It is nice that the Karaoke songs can also be sung a capella or along with playing guitar or piano, but there's no career connected to it and you can't give concerts.

Then you have the fame in Get Famous. I don't own that pack as I'm not interested in playing an actor.

I truly wonder why you can't become a Popstar or classical pianist or Rockstar or Jazz Singer as a career and become famous. I truly want to have my sims give concerts. It could be handled a bit like in the Dine Out, where sims register at the entrance, and instead of being assigned to a table, they would be assigned to a seat in the concert room. Of course they can get up, walk around, chat, pee and do whatever strange things they do, just like in a restaurant, but they will still be somehow connected with their seat and return there eventually until the concert is over.

And our sim could perform, either with playback (like Karaoke) or with piano or guitar, or it could be a classical concert with formal attire, or a jazz event, whatever you choose.

I would so much like to build concert halls (yes there won't be more than 15-20 people in the audience but anyway it would be fun) with nice stages in all kinds of styles, and have my sims give concerts there, and maybe even have them get famous.

I really really wonder why EA hasn't created something like that.

  • @Lailantie Yes please!  I always have at least one musician in my played sims.  It's nice that we can go play for tips here and there but to go on gigs and put on concerts would be awesome.  There are a number of posts on other forums suggesting packs to introduce more instruments and bands too.  I've wanted my sims to play / sing together for soooo long.  There is so much they could do with a Music pack and I know there's a market for it.  Please please please!

    When ever I start a challenge (that doesn't allow for traditional careers) I wish I could do more with music to gain money (art is always the default because it is easy!), but it is so difficult so being able to work up to doing concerts would be awesome! We have a number of interments plus singing for a Sim to pursue so the sky is the limit for this to be a free lance or a type of optional work from home career! Entertainment is just not enough anymore. 

    I would also like to add, if you have Get Famous, Journalist should be able to interview celebrities for columns! It is so silly that they cannot even speak to them to do so. I mean.. What even is there job?
