🌟 Joining the Actor/Actress Career
To start your journey as an actor or actress, you'll need to join an agency. When you first enter this career, you'll be prompted to choose between two agencies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Staffing or Everyday Extras. As you progress and reach level four, two more agencies become available. It's recommended to start with the AI Staffing agency, as they provide entertaining and sassy messages. However, all agencies are relatively similar, so choose the one that resonates with you.
Pros:
- AI Staffing agency sends amusing messages.
- You can change agencies at any time.
Cons:
- Agencies have minimal impact on gameplay.
🎭 Auditioning for Gigs
In the actor/actress career, you don't have scheduled work days like other careers. Instead, you'll need to audition for gigs to get promoted. To check for available auditions, access the career panel or use the "Check for Gigs" option on your sim's phone. Different gigs require different skills, so it's wise to audition for those that match your sim's skill level or the ones you can easily acquire before the audition. Auditioning itself is straightforward, but make sure your sim meets the required skill level and is in a confident mood, as it greatly impacts their performance.
🎯 Preparing for Gigs
Once you've successfully passed the audition, it's time to prepare for your upcoming gig. On your work panel, you'll have a series of preparation tasks that need to be completed. These tasks play a vital role in how well you perform during your active day at work. It's advisable to tick off as many preparation tasks as possible to maximize your performance. Some common preparation tasks include working on a specific skill, developing friendships with co-stars, researching and portraying specific emotions, and performing different types of scenes.
Pros:
- Completing preparation tasks improves performance.
- Preparation tasks are relatively straightforward.
Cons:
- Some scenes require higher acting skill levels.
🎬 The Active Day at Work
The active day at work can be divided into two parts: preparation and performance. Before starting your performance, ensure that you have completed all the preparation tasks. Once you initiate the performance by talking to the director, you can no longer complete any additional preparation tasks. During the performance, you'll need to perform a series of acting scenes. Each scene offers a safe and risky option, with the risky option providing double the performance boost if you have completed the corresponding preparation task. It's recommended to take the risky option if you've done the necessary preparation work.
Pros:
- Taking the risky option with completed preparation tasks increases performance.
- Finishing with a full gold bar almost guarantees a promotion.
Cons:
- No additional preparation tasks can be completed during the performance.

Becoming a celebrity goes hand in hand with the actor/actress career. Gaining fame comes with a unique perk tree that greatly contributes to your success. As you progress in your celebrity status, you can unlock different perks that enhance various aspects of your career. One particularly beneficial perk is "Established Name," which allows you to skip auditions, making your career progression much smoother. Other perks like "Celebrity Serum" and "Career Hopper" bring additional advantages, such as receiving helpful potions and switching careers at higher levels.
