1 Fan Before you can create, you must appreciate. The difference between
devotee and Fan are miniscule, but it makes all the difference in the world when you’re
later asked to join the band on tour. Work hard and act like you’re having a good time,
and you just might get on the tour bus. Days Off

2 Roadie The band is going to need their sandwiches and soda as soon as
possible. Don’t forget to pick up their laundry, their lucky bandanas, or their significant
others on your way to the show. The band is relying on you for these very “important”
tasks—it’s best not to let them down. Days Off

3 Stagehand Now that you’re on tour as a Stagehand, you’ll need to familiarize

yourself with lighting equipment, sound boards, spare guitars, and most importantly,
learn to do the microphone check. You’re one step closer to the band, yet still impossibly
far away from the stage. Days Off

4 Band Manager The band apparently trusts you enough to be the guiding
hand behind the scenes. You’ll be instrumental in telling them what gigs to take, where to
make their appearances, and what colors the t-shirts should come in. Make sure they like
you, because even though you’re in charge, they still pay your salary. Days Off

5 Music Talent Scout So, with the band having their typical drama, they need you
to scout the local clubs for new talent. Who knows when they’ll need a new drummer, or
bassist, or singer, or pianist, or spouse… or all of the above. Grab the guitar and start
learning a few chords… you never know when you’ll need to jump on stage as a
replacement. Days Off

6 Lyricist The band hopes your lyrics will move them from one-hit wonder to
rock icons. The first album wasn’t bad, but the label says it’s now or never for the band to
hit it big. Keep practicing your music skills and perform plenty of concerts so the fans
can hear your best stuff. Days Off

7 Backup Vocalist Hopefully you’re a fan of your own lyrics, because you’re
now going to start singing as a Backup Vocalist. The label thinks the band needs some
sweet singing to round out their rough, darker side, so once again the welfare of the group
falls on your hopefully able shoulders… or should we say vocal chords? Days Off

Rock n Roll lifestyle has begun! Days Off

↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 Only Rock Stars get paid for performances.
↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 With the 10th level Rock career, instead of having regular hours, the player
chooses when to perform concerts as long as it is between 3 PM and 11 PM. The amount
a Sim receives from a concert depends on the Sim's mood, Guitar Skill, and how many
times they've performed before.
↑ 3.0 3.1 Autograph sessions can be held at community lots, and Sims get paid a cut of
what the community lot makes during the autograph session. Autograph sessions can be
held at any time, but during the afternoon more fans will show up. If a fan has to wait too
long to get an autograph, it will have a negative influence on the Sim's relationship with
the fan.
