Making A Famous Singer Pretty Easy...however...

I noticed that having a actor as one sim and having a singer as the other that the singer became famous faster.
A singer is also pretty fun so far but she is only level one so we will see if it gets better.
The problem is to be a singer you don't really get an audience that just sits and watches you. I am not sure if that changes as you become more famous but I also think there needs to be a way to have concerts. I am really hoping this is added in some kind of career pack or something. If not, I hope someone can mod it. From a coding perspective, I don't see why this couldn't have been added easily to this expansion. Mostly everything is already done and all they need is a stage much like the one that actors are on at a venue like they did in Sims 3.
I know this has been said but, I am a little bit turned off by the $40 price tag but lack of celebrity career focused content. Its really not expansion pack worthy to me but hey whatever I already paid it.

    Well it's not quite the same thing but you can take your singer to any lounge and perform there, as your sim gets more famous more sims will gather around to watch. I've been playing a singer-songwriter who started her trek to fame through singing, piano, and writing songs. But no they don't perform on a stage. That would be nice.


    Except they don't really stay and gather around. They tip and leave to do something else. When your sim became more famous do they stick around and watch longer? My sim is only one star.


    Yes they do stick around longer, and a bigger crowd forms and gets excited and cheers - for 3+ star celebs. But... it seems they also stop tipping very much after a certain stage.

    Blah, see, now that is a problem.
    I am hoping modders will address this.
  • I took the tip that making a couple of groups that like to watch performances deals with the having an audience issue. Also, if you make the group like to drink or talk will make them sit with a drink while watching you perform. Adds some realism to certain venues.

    As you see here people are sitting by the pool listening to my performer who is a level 2 almost 3 celebrity. Tips are still garbage so I just cheat and pay my sim $1k a night per venue.

    I don't see this version ever having a concert venue in the game. Sims just don't sit down and when they do, they don't sit still. As it is, sims gather around the microphone when a sim is preforming and do all the "fan" things. They will likely never sit and listen to a concert.

    They might add a recording studio object at some point, but I doubt it, We can use the drone to record any "concerts" we give out in public and then download them on the video machine or just perform in front of the video machine to record a digital "album". These could be used in a recording studio build.


    They sit down and watch if they are part of a group that watches entertainment as an activity.

    So my sim is also a singer, 4 star fame. I do find the more fame the more ppl watch you. But what I’ve done is created 3 clubs that just watch singers at certain locations. What I also do is my sims own a restaurant with a stage area. On nights when she preforms I up the % for the cost of food (kinda like a dinner and show fee) and I purchase the rush perk. You’ll get sims watching her they even come out of there seats sometimes to go up close and cheer or bob along. Oh and I normally get her to use the karaoke to sing unless she has a new single out whitch she first sings with the drone and realese the video than live at the restaurant.


    That is a great idea!

    How do I sing in the sim4 get famous? And can teens do it?


    Singing isn't from Get Famous, it's a skill from City Living. And yes, teens can do it as well.
