Singer
A singer performing.
Singer is a profession in The Sims 3: Showtime. Sims in this career can perform on stages or in the streets with or without a guitar.
They can in fact join a band[TS3:LN] while being a singer, although scheduled time conflicts may be frequent. Divas get a slight boost to the singer career.
Description[]
Being a singer is all about singing, and to really succeed, you need to be willing to belt it out anywhere. You’ll start off singing for tips on the street and performing Sing-A-Grams for money, but if you show real promise, you’ll soon be on your way to sold out gigs and superstardom!
