How to Become a Show Business Icon in The Sims 2
- 1). Become a Screen Test Stand-In. This is the entry-level job in the Show Business career. It isn't much and the hours are long, but you have to start somewhere.
- 2). Start building your Charisma. Your Icon-to-be will need to spend a lot of time in front of the mirror. They will need all ten Charisma points to become an Icon, and will need to be building Charisma all the way up through the Show Business ladder.
- 3). Exercise! Ah, the aesthetics of the entertainment industry. Your Sim will need all ten Body points to become a Show Business Icon. It will be tough going. Strict diet, lots of exercise and an active lifestyle will help, but ultimately it will come down to determination. Naturally active Sims will do well here while naturally slower Sims will falter. If your Sim really hates to exercise, you may want to find another job for them.
- 4). Create! While the early stages of the Show Business career may have your Sim slogging through the trenches, building their creative muscle is absolutely essential for their advancement through the career path. They will need nine Creativity points to become an Icon, and will need to advance Creativity at each stage in order to progress.
- 5). Think like Spock. While creativity is essential to succeeding in Show Business, a good head for Logic is also necessary in order to properly set up lighting, camera shots, choreography and musical scores. Your Sim will need six points of Logic to become a Show Business Icon. Start building their Logic skills once they reach the level of Commercial Actor.
- 6). Enjoy your fame! When you reach the top, you will know that the trip was worth it.
