A gig is a feature introduced in The Sims 3: Late Night. It is also a feature in The Sims 3: Showtime, which has larger content than Late Night.

The Sims 3: Late Night
Gigs are introduced as opportunities to bands. One of the band members will receive a phone call from their agent saying about a specific gig and the location. According to Carl's Sims 3 Guide, there is a progression of gigs, which means that gigs are not randomly given to band members.

During the day of the gig, one of the band member can click on the gig venue and a new interaction show up as "Go to Gig". Once it is selected, the band members are automatically going to the gig venue. When they are in the gig venue, one of the band member who received the opportunity can go to an instrument and play it (the interaction is unknown yet). The band members will automatically go their selected instrument and the band plays the gig.

Tips

 * It is good if all members in a band are self-employed as Band, which helps increase their career performance once their gig is finished.
 * It is also good that if there are more band members in a household, they will have more chance of getting phone calls to get more gigs.
 * If one of the band member complete the "Gig Master" challenge, the band will earn more Simoleons.
