I realized I never posted this mod here, so for anyone looking to create a band in Sims4, here you go!  Today's v3.0 release adds the ability to play any custom .MP3s, which means infinite music options for you and your crew.



**Mod Description**

What do we want? Bands! When do we want it? Right now!

Tired of no bands expansion pack from EA in sight? Sick of struggling to get your bandmates to play instruments at the same time and the resulting cacophony when they do? I am too, so I made a mod that lets aspiring rockstars play multiple instruments simultaneously together with a few clicks! Your band can practice for the big show, perform concerts, draw an audience of other Sims, and earn fame on their journey to stardom.



*New in 3.0: Custom Music and Multi-Song Setlists*

By very popular request, bands can now play your own custom music!  A new Custom Setlist option will randomly play any .MP3s you add to your band's Custom Music folder.  If multiple .MP3s are added, your band will play multiple songs in a row: perfect for long concerts when you don't want to re-assign members to their instruments after every song.  


**Feature List**

* **Form and break up your band**: Add a custom trait to your members, or remove it when drama goes down
* **Compatible with seven instrument types**: This mod works by playing a single music track, which supports any band configuration and multiples of the same instrument
* **Assign Sims from one menu**: Assign Sims (including those you aren't controlling) to instruments and end the entire session with a single click
* **Play custom music**: This mod works by playing a single hoose a single Simlish song for your band to perform or play your own custom music setlist
* **Concert Mode**: Practice with your band or perform a concert when you're ready to put on a show
* **Draw a crowd**: Other Sims in the area will be drawn to a concert performance to, and will perform actions like watching or cheering
* **Sway the mood of your fans**: Certain songs will give audience members a unique 4-hour mood buff
* **Earn fame**: Up to twice a day, a concert will net band members fame based on their star and skill levels (Get Famous required)



**Works with the following instruments:**

* Guitars
* Microphone (City Living required)
* Pianos
* Violins
* Necrodog's updated drum kit from the Into Music pack
* JaneSimsten's French horn
* Necrodog's saxophone
* Custom in-game instrument cc like VRO's playable bass

 

**How To Use:**

* Gather your bandmates and make sure all instruments are nearby and in-world, not in-inventory
* Click any guitar to find the new pie menu "Play with Band"
* Select "Form Band" and add your bandmates if you haven't already
* Select either "Band Practice" for low-key practice or "Perform Concert" to draw an audience and earn fame
* Choose your song (or choose "Custom Setlist" to play songs from to your band's custom music folder) and assign your guitarist.
* Return to the menu and assign the other bandmates to as many or as few instruments as you want. Works with multiples like two singers!
* To stop playing, cancel any Sim's Play with Band interaction. All band members will follow suit once their animations end.
