Title: All Hail Metro and Piano
Post by: Bellalupa on November 02, 2010, 07:40:23 PM
Ok, first I had to say this for the guitar star article Metro did. I don't know how you did it, but all hail Metro. Metro hath the most the amazing amount of patience of anyone EVER. I was wondering does the exploit work with piano? Making 200,000 in a night playing for tips in the subway sound AMAZING. ;D Thanks!

Oh, and an extra thing, can your sim gain celebrity level in Egypt/China/France?

It'd be a universal celebrity level, and since celebs have been seen in other places, they surely pop up in the travel spots from time to time. :)

Yeah it's like seeing bigfoot!!  ;D I think Metro told me that the guitar exploit works fine for the other 3 instruments. It's about total performances, so you'd just need to iron out at what point in the animation (for efficiency) the performance counts in the skill journal.

 ::) I'll try that. Hopefully getting LN Friday, so I'm collecting information so I can enjoy the game and not be forever stuck on getting a celebrity. And congrats on the guide! I'm amazed at how quickly you getting LN guides up.

I've already committed to writing a One Man Band article for the Guide. That will be the perfect opportunity to try and top my Mr. 3000 character.

 :o Metro and Carl?!? My day has just been made!

What level of piano skill do you need to impress a 5 star celebrity (Matthew Hammings)? Thank-you so much!

Edit: Pam too! All the celebrities of this forum have shown up to my topic! Woo!

You don't need any particular level of piano skill for that.  Just keep doing the Impress interactions (skill, wealth, job, name dropping) until you fill up Matthew's green progress bar for impressing him.

I've done the exploit with all four instruments now and it works just fine. I'd like to know what increments (of performance) do what in very specific terms, but I don't expect anybody to go through the trouble of making that happen. Music is definitely the way to go for riches, except that it is so blasted tedious. I think it's worse than writing, and writing is pretty bad :(
