Not sure if this has been reported before, but I was testing a new game in Sims 3 and created a Sim who was a Singer (Showtime). She started out fine being able to sing for tips and I heard her singing, well playing the Guitar. I can hear her sing for the Sing-O grams (the singing telegrams), but when she goes to a gig, the soundtrack becomes silent after a second or two (real time). I've tried lowering other parts of the game sounds (like voices and objects) and I just doesn't come on at all.
I'm running on Mojave so I know it's not the OS.
If you need any other details, please let me know.

@Tremayne4260 This hasn't been reported for the 64-bit version for sure, although I think I might have read something about it in other versions. Anyway, does this happen with other sims too, and in other worlds? You could save a copy of this sim to the in-game bin and place her in other worlds to test, or use NRaas MasterController (plus Cheats) to grant a new sim the requisite skill level to earn a gig.
