When your Sim stops playing a song, they're likely to have a crowd walk off before you can play another.Īs suggested by Metro in the Guitar Skill Guide, it's a good idea to invite neighborhood Sims with you when you travel to a public venue with the intention of making some money. The Concerto goes on as long as you allow it to (or your Sim is able to) so it's also the most hands-off way to make money with the skill. This one gives the appropriate Tip amount, while if you're writing a song the Tips are only $2. The best option for earning money is Play Concerto. These can add up when you have loads of Sims around, throwing them at you. Tips are earned at $2 x Level - so at level 10, you'll get $20 Tips from Sims.

Whether your Sim is playing a particular song, or bringing a target Sim to tears with the Violin, when Sims hear you playing, there is a chance for a Tip. Playing for Tips can earn Sims decent amounts of money at public venues

Players who enjoy string music will like listening to the songs Sims can play. Here are the abilities you unlock as you level Violin. At level 4, you will only get $8 Tips, but it beats gaining nothing while you wait on more impressive abilities from the Skill.

To level efficiently, start with Practicing and later drag the Violin to your Sim's inventory to take it to the park or some other public venue once you are able to Play Concertos. At level 3, you will get the ability to Bow for Inspiration on the Violin, allowing you to gain some Skill Experience and get Inspired on demand.

I suggest you do take the Creative and Art Lover Traits so that you can easily get in the mood. You can get Inspired by taking a Thoughtful Shower, Admiring Art (if an Art Lover), and randomly from the Creative Trait.
