how do you form a band on The Sims 2?

Question

Answer 1

Yes! you can form a band!

If you also have Nightlife, you can use the phone to form a group and give it a band name. And that way just gather them all together for an outing to a community lot play a gig.

Otherwise you need to call them individually and have them come over, for practice or use the cell phone to get them over to a community lot (if none have scheduling conflicts). You have to use the sim that you control to get them all to play.

You put music into your game folder.
