Entertainment Career

Track

1.Waiter/Waitress-You're available for auditions, but can still make your tips at night. Good people skills could get your picture and resume served along with the salad. Skills Needed- None. Pay- $100

2. Extra- You're "atmosphere," "living scenery." The pay is pitiful, but at least you're on the set. No lines, though...and Central Casting can call you for the day shift or the night shift, depending on the production needs. Make sure you develop your charisma skill so that when that speaking part does come through, you'll be ready. Skills Needed- 2 charisma. Pay- $150

3. Bit Player- You're able to support yourself in your chosen career--barely. You've actually got a few lines to speak...ironically, they often seem to be, "May I take your order, sir?" Building relationships and your body is important now. Skills Needed-2 charisma, 2 body, 2 friends. Pay-200

4. Stunt Double- That's not the box-office mega-star being set on fire and tossed from a helicopter--that's you. You're making a name for yourself, though, and directors like your novel ideas for mock mayhem. Keep those creative juices flowing. You just might graduate to a low-budget starring role of your own--if you survive. Keep yourself and your gear in top shape, or you may miss that air bag. And keep developing your active social life--not only is it fun, it's very useful. Skills needed-3 Charisma, 3 Body, 1 Creativity, 4 Friends. Pay- $275

5. B-Movie Star- Cheap sci-fi, lowbrow horror and teen hormone comedies--you're the star...even if your best work seems to go "straight to video". If you really want to make it big, you need a great body and some very convincing and creative dialogue. Lots of work needed on these skills from here on out. Skills needed- 1 Mechanical, 4 Charisma, 4 Body, 2 Creativity, 6 Friends. Pay- $375

6. Supporting Player- Your name's not on the poster, but at least it's a "major motion picture". You're the best friend, the villain's sidekick, or the cop who dies in the first half-hour. But, the studios have noticed you, and big things may be on the horizon. Keep practicing your lines and remember, it's not always what you know, it's who you know that counts. Skills needed- 1 Mechanical
6 Charisma, 5 Body, 3 Creativity, 8 Friends. Pay- $500

7.TV Star- Your talent is acknowledged at last, and you're referred to as "Sim City's home-grown star". It's never been easier to throw a party at your place.

Skills needed- 2 Mechanical,  Charisma, 6 Body
4 Creativity, 10 Friends. Pay- $650

8. Feature Star- You made it to the big screen. You're now making more money for fewer hours, but you may suddenly have to leave town for a distant location shoot. You're loving all the attention. Everyone wants to be your friend--but is that always a good thing? Sometimes you long for the spontaneous creativity and audience response of Broadway... Skills Needed- 2 Mechanical, 8 Charisma,
7 Body, 7 Creativity, 12 Friends. Pay- $900

9. Broadway Star- It's a whole new world for a star of your magnitude. Live performances, six days a week, singing, dancing in Sim City's latest hit musical. Who knew it would be so physically demanding? But those cast parties are a great place to meet new friends, no? And you've never felt so creatively pumped up! Skills Needed- 2 Mechanical, 10 Charisma, 8 Body, 10 Creativity, 14 Friends. Pay- $1100

10. Superstar- Everywhere you go the paparazzi snap your picture. They've just placed your star on the SimCity "Walk of Fame."
