4 Ways To Play As A Professional Musician | The Sims 4 Guide 

Dude I want an actual singing career

I'd like a pop star expansion with more instruments and pop career.

There's also karaoke nights within the karaoke lots with City Living! They're on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays and if you win, you'll get a confident moodlet and a bit of fame! But careful if you got lots of other Sims that leveled singing because the competition will be fierce. Might go to Planet Honey Pop rather than Waterside Warble, to keep the competition down. Also, if you sign up for a recording deal at a label, then if you play rotationally like myself, you'll find that more often than not, the Sims will be unsigned from their deals by the time you get back to that household. Alas!

In Sims 3 you could have 4 people living in a small apartment and doing gigs as a band. You also had both regular and electric guitars if memory serves me right. It's beyond me why they couldn't have done the same thing in Sims 4.

I think the singing skill coming with city living is often forgotten despite it being a pretty big selling point in my opinion. It adds a lot of reality and is a musical skill / ceative hobby that you can do anywhere with no equipment to build the skill or boost fun.

This games needs DRUMS.

As a long time player these videos are so great for inspiration for new ways to play, and I even learn some stuff I didn't already know. Super appreciate

I love your K-pop group. They're adorable, I love it when they come up in your videos.

Only just discovered this channel a few days ago, but it has quickly become my favorite for Sims 4 tips. 😎👍🏻

I never actually considered making my sim go into a music career but now I’m considering making my sim a DJ! thanks petey!

Bro you are uploading every other day! 😃I love this!😁

it's horrible when you're signed to a label throught the mixing station.... you literally have to release a new track every two days, it's sooooo annoying and frustrating 🥲 you can produce a few tracks at once and then release one every two days, but you definitely have to keep it in mind. you only get one warning before you get dropped

Nice addition at the end. A siren singer would be a cool play style

I really value your videos. I seems every time I want to try a new way to play, you've been there, done that, and taken notes to share! Thanks for all of your hard work!

I hope in the future we can get signed as a singer and choose stage name and be available to do concerts

There's also the Pipe Organ skill from Vampires which you can license songs for as well. I just did a playthrough with a vampire who used their skill in the pipe organ to bring in folks to see off of. It was kind of fun. And profitable because the royalties from the songs were pretty good.

You make it sound so easy 😂Thanks Petey, for an interesting peek into something that I had given up on in my games. Might give it another try 👍Wish me luck! 😂

Hi Petey! This is great timing as I have Father Winter in my household and he is a level 10 singer (yeah I was surprised too). I was wondering how to get him and another sim together as a singing duet, and you reminded me about making clubs. Thank you! Now these two can go and become famous and spend lots of time together without their spouses around. No drama of course! 😉

You’re always on time! I have a guitarist sim that i want to pursue a music career. Thanks for this!

I did not know any of this. Thanks for the tips!!

Now I want a renaissance musician sim who uses lots of these skills and routes

Actually when my sim practices music on a piano out in public I still earn money! So just a tip practicing does still get you paid

Dear EA, we fans need a MUSIC expansion pack - a fully fleshed-out singer career, because we want to create our own music idols! Big stages, musical performances, bands, new instruments like cello, harp, drums! On top of that - Cars! If you also want these things, let's let EA know about it.

There are so many weird quirks with the idea of being a musician in the SIms 4: -Why can you write 2-4 books in the time it takes to write a song? -Why can't you release multiple songs/albums and have the royalties come in like books? -Why isn't the music production label way of working available to singing/instruments? -Why are you limited to one song per instrument being licenced at a time? -Can anyone listen to chart music and think that these people are level 8+ of their skill? So why can you write a book and publish it with no ability, but somehow not do the same with music? Have the sims team not heard of sites like Bandcamp?... Overall, it just feels like they went out of their way to make the music stuff different to painting and writing, but never bothered to think about if it made sense or if it made for fun and rewarding gameplay

My record label always threatens me so much 🤣 But to be fair, I tend to forget to release songs. We have a break up-to -make up relationship at this point. Maybe I'll join the entertainment career to add to my gameplay. I really love being a musician in the Sims 4 ☺️ Writing jingles sounds like less pressure than working for New Tastemakers. Can I work from home?

Perfect, thank you! Great video. Also, I want to download your characters lol

Hey Petey, here's a video idea (also, help me) what would be your stradegy to play a Super Sim Challenge? Which jobs/aspirations/skills would be more usefull to tackle first?

I have this mermaid sim who I want to make famous via singing, so this was definitely helpful

I don’t think I’ve ever played through this career. Thanks for sharing all the tips. I’ll have to check it out. Do you have or are you planning to do a guide on the Writer career?

Can the piper trait work for other instruments such as violin, piano and even the pipe organ?

Dinky Dy records keep contacting my sim every day Lol

Happy Saturday ☺

Can us the meet and great feature as a concert

The SIM playing the social bunny guitar reminds me so much of late 2000s Barbie

Is there any singer mod that still works? I've tried like 5 by now but not of them let me got to work

"Another day, another house fire" 😄 Sad that you'll have to have a high level in order to profit from these skills... When writing and painting allow you to make profit at level two I wonder why developers made it that way 🤔

Good vid as always! I’m having a problem with writing songs (maybe a bug?). That when I resume the unfinished songs/lyric, it will start from the beginning. It happened for a while now. Is anyone have this problem? Thank you.

I guess i can make rock band club; just sucks i have to use a key board instead of drums.

Petey, how about Organ instrument that came from Vampire?

We need a rock music branch of the entertainment career.

So why am I shown that certain items can increase my sims singing skill when I don’t have City Living?

Now I have to get city living 😔

Good! I love to play the sims 4 with a musician sim😸 the one and only way for me to be famous 😂😂😂😂🙏🏻

They need a record label pack

Just tryna be a rockstar man

I wonder if I have a bug then because my sims get tips from practicing in public quite often.

I am playing as the talent suckers from hihi puffy ami yumi; they are a trio vampire rock band that are actaully really bad. 😂

Ive noticed after playing my legacy... A lot of Nannies have max skill in guitar, violin and piano ! My Legacy was ... Single sim adopts 3 toddlers and you have to get as many Nannies join household as possible so they can help with the garden and wotnot 😂

I know teh perfect girl name for sims whos personality is music, it is Melody

I don't get why no drums? Makes no sense.

Not related, but I held a wedding at sixam yesterday and it was one hell of a mess. I had to use cheats to get everyone there, which was very annoying. And I couldnt mark it as a wedding because you can't have events in space :(. One of the brides sons was standing in front of them and argued with someone the whole wedding. Then random aliens walked around that I couldn't even talk to. No one was sitting the correct way and it was really frustrating, but then I decided to just focus on the brides. Then I remembered that I had forgotten the cake so I had to go back home and then back to sixam while hoping that all the sims stay there and don't switch outfits. Thank God that worked. But because the Sims is a buggy mess, one bride randomly flirted with other sims she had never had romantic interest in before just because she was flirty. My brides had a huge fight and all the happy wedding moodlets are gone :(. But they are now two days into their honeymoon and I feel like I fixed everything. I just try to forget the cheating part and only remember the good things.
