Singing skill levels in The Sims 4
As you level up your Singing skill, you can unlock different genres both on the karaoke machine and microphone.
To unlock Level 1 0f the Singing skill, have your Sim sing in the shower. You can then use a karaoke machine to level up your skill or practice with a microphone. You can also click on your Sim and have them practice singing.
The Singing skill progress is structured as follows in The Sims 4:
- Level 2: Pop and rock songs on the karaoke machine, folk on the microphone

Buy a Karaoke Machine
One of the best ways to level up your Singing skill in The Sims 4 is to use a karaoke machine. You know what they say: practice makes perfect.
Your Sims can have their very own Karaoke Machine in their homes. You can use it to practice singing all day long. Aspiring singers will benefit from having a Karaoke Machine at their disposal all the time.
The best part is that all the household members can use the Karaoke Machine. Kids can use the machine to start early in their singing career.
If you want them to pursue a singing career, just like their parents, have them sing karaoke songs and play an instrument early on.
Alternatively, you can visit one of the two Karaoke Bar venues from San Myshuno: Planet Honey Pop and Waterside Warble. Your Sim can sing solo or in a duet. Feel free to bring your friends along for more fun.
You’ll also meet The Karaoke Legends at the bar.
By the way, Sims can sing serenades to their partners to boost romantic interactions.
Make money writing songs in The Sims 4 City Living
After reaching Level 9 of the Singing skill, Sims can earn some extra money by licensing their songs. Licensed songs can bring in up to 800 Simoleons every day for 7 days.
The only downside is that writing songs can take an awful lot of time. The good news is that there are a few things you can do to speed up the process and write songs faster.
Do you need City Living to sing in Sims 4?
The Singing skill is not available in The Sims 4 base game. You cannot unlock it without The Sims 4 City Living expansion pack. In other words, you do need City Living to sing in The Sims 4.
Happy Simming!
