How do you write the songs that make the whole world sing?

Hello
You need to be at level 8 in a musical skill to unlock the option to write a song.

Singing or instrument?

You need level 8 skill on an instrument to be able to write a song.
You need level 8 in the singing skill and level 3 in a music skill to unlock the ability to write lyrics.

Actually, you only need level 8 in Singing skill to be able to write lyrics as long as you have the microphone that is used to tell jokes in the base game. By that way, my sim have written two lyrics.

Hello.
I am sorry.
I meant to write that you need to have level 3 in a musical skill ( guitar or piano ) to be able to write lyrics on the guitar or piano, as well as level 8 in the singing sklll.

So.. She can write the songs. I didn't know she had to do it in one sitting!! If she got up for anything, she had to start over. I had to get her the steel bladder to finish a song!

You can find your unfinished songs in the sims inventory. When you click you will have an option to resume it. Now you have a head start on your next song and you have a steel bladder to boot! You can also publish the songs once they are completed (just like books) and get a daily payment for them. The only thing is you can only do a song once per sim week, I think.

Best wishes on becoming a musical supersim, you are well on your way!!

Check in your sim's inventory. Sim should have a music sheet after they begin to write a song (or mixtape if it is by DJ skill). Click on that and you can resume writing the song. After you have finished it, sim can perform it. However, you can only publish a song once a week.
