Mentor in music

Your sim has to be level 10 in guitar skill in order to mentor someone. You can even mentor children. However, kids cannot play the guitar but piano and violin.

U can go to club that has guitar and if some one picks it up you can mentor them.

if you have Get Together, make a club where playing the guitar is a club activity, hold a club meeting and mentor someone. If you don't then sometimes sims will pick up the guitar in the Maxis made lounge in Oasis Springs. Usually they only sing a camp fire song but I have completed the aspiration doing that in a challenge... took a while and a lot of patience but it is possible. You just have to have your sim ready to mentor anyone the moment they pick up the guitar!

Thank you all so much!!

You can hire an entertainer for the instrument you want to mentor. Introduce yourself to the entertainer if you don't already know him. You will be able to mentor the entertainer while he is playing if you are level 10 on that instrument unless he's already mastered it himself. My current Sim has just reached 2 hours of mentoring in guitar by this method, so it does work.

My sim lived alone and I tried going to Lounges etc to find people playing instruments but it didn't work. I ended up adding a random sim to the household for this achievement, then removing them afterwards.

1. Save your game and go to the Manage Worlds screen
2. Click on your sim's house
3. At the very bottom right of your screen, cick the '...' (More) icon
4. Then click through to 'Manage Household'
5. On the resulting popup, click the Pencil icon to add/remove household members via CAS.

I also found that tutoring the sim for that long caused them to have a really high friendship. In hindsight, I probably could have kept that random sim and after the achievement, used the 'Transfer sims between households' option (from the menu in step 5), to move them to a random unplayed household.

Hire a guitarist and mentor them

THANK YOU! Just what I was looking for. Very helpful! ?

I like to go to the Solar Lounge where other sims usueally attempt to play, especially if you play yourself.
