Please use the updated version of this mod

Music Writing Careers add new options to earn money creating electronic style songs and music.  

Required:XML Injector: Download Here 

Setup A Music RoomThe first thing you'll need is a basegame computer to get the interactions to appear.  The all in one power pc is that works. That's basically all you'll need to create songs.

How This WorksFrom the computer you'll need to purchase Music Production Software for $275.  After you purchase the software you'll get the Music Composer trait.  Now Install the software to get access to all features.

After Install you'll see a new menu "Music Production" with 3 sub menus.  Create Music, Music Writing Gigs, and Music Publishing. Since you're just starting out with a Music Writing skill of 0, you'll need to level up to level 2 before you can start making money.  To earn skill in the meantime use the interactions behind Create Music and Music Writing Gigs.  

Once you're at level 2 you'll get a new interaction "Find Music Writing Gigs".  When you click on this you'll see a few people who need your music writing service.  Remember you must find a gig first before the option to create the track they want will appear.

These are Work-For-Hire gigs which means you cannot copyright the tracks.  The client will be the copyright owner.  It takes 3 hours to create a music track.  Once you've created a track it'll appear in your inventory.  

Submit Tracks To ClientsUsing the Music Writing Gigs menu you'll see a new interaction to Submit the type of song you just created.  You cannot submit the track if it's not in your inventory.

Level 3 Music Writing At this level you can create music tracks without a client and copyright the track afterwards for $75.  There are two types of tracks. Copyright Protected and Unprotected tracks. The unprotected tracks have to be in your Sim's inventory before you can copyright them.

Level 4 Music WritingYou'll now be able to submit any copyrighted tracks to a Music Publishing Company.  Once you submit it you'll get a lump sum of money.

Level 5 Music WritingAt max level you get access to cowriting.  From the Music Writing Gigs menu find a music collab.  They'll give you 1/2 of a song. With the half in inventory you'll need to complete the other half.  Once complete copyright the song and submit to the Music Publishing Company.

How To Install-Unzip file.  Keep all files in the folder.  Place the folder in your Sims 4 Mods Folder.-Sims 4 game options, mods and script mods need to be enabled.-Requires the latest version of Sims 4

Terms Of Use-Do not claim this mod as your own-Do not re-upload to any site-Translations cannot include the mod.  Only stringtables.

You may find a few issues like missing object or missing text, please let me know and I'll tend to it.

Just looked into the issue and the option popped up for me. Make sure you're using a basegame computer, same as the post stated. If you are still experiencing the issue then it could be the entire mod wasn't extracted. This is a .rar file and requires a specific program like winrar or rarlab. Other steps, makes sure script mods are enabled.

Nascent

So whenever I make tracks for clients (gigs) or on my own they never appear in my inventory so Sim can't submit or do anything. What am I missing? Is it possible that there is a conflict with RVSN's Photo Maker which also uses that jump drive looking object?

wickedpixxel

Check the actual mod download to make sure the music track objects folder is included. If they are not they will not show up. The next is making sure your Sim has the music writer skill and it's level 2 or higher. If any of this doesn't fix the issue please let me know. I'll look into the mod to see if something is broken.

I have unzipped the mod correctly but it's still not showing up on the base game computer.

wickedpixxel

Make sure it's the all in one power computer. If it's still not showing up change the desk and chair combo. Some desks have a glitch. Let me know if this worked for you.

Kelsey

Is there a way to play the music?

Rebekah Mergerson

do you plan to fix this issue? im going back to all previous mods and they all share this similar issue. i only subscribed for music industry but seeing reoccuring theme of same issue im having, been having gone on for very long time.

wickedpixxel

The mod is working as intended for most. The interaction issue happens to a few players for some reason and it's usually the wrong pc or a glitch from desk and chair that's game related. It'll keep happening in some cases without a resolution. When it does happen you see that I've always tried to help and get the mod working for anyone who needs it.

Asia

I am having a similar issue that Nascent's comment above from 3 months ago is having. My sim will go and make a track and it says it usually takes 3 hours but 3 hours pass and my sim continues to make the track. Like it is never ending and on-going, I even tested it out and my sim started in the morning and was still going by the time the night hit and when I end the task the track does not appear in my inventory and there is still the same task to complete in the music production pie menu. It worked before but is not working anymore.

wickedpixxel

I'm updating the mod really soon with new gameplay and fixes. Hold off from use until that version is available.

conelius

jus.a.lil.guy

Heyo, I really appreciate your work, and this a mod I haven't got to try yet, but was really excited about. I was wondering if you've had a chance to update it yet?

wickedpixxel

Not yet. I haven't worked on it much. Will need a complete remake.

Shaniya Darby

Hi, would you be able to update this mod with the latest patch? When I load my game, it goes straight to my world menu and won't let me play. This mod is so essential to my gameplay, so I'd really appreciate it. Thank you for your creativity!
