Three new musical instruments are added: the guitar, the bass, and the drum set. Each of these offer the options "Practice" and "Perform..."., with "Perform..." being the option to play for tips. Additionally, the expansion pack adds a "Perform..." option to the available interactions for the piano from The Sims 2 base game. These instruments can be played together using the "Join" interaction, but all playing Sims will have their own jars and collect their tips separately. Sims may "Perform..." autonomously, unless a mod which prevents this is used.
