🎸World Tour MOD 🎸 {DOWNLOAD PAGE}
🕑 Added 2025-05-28 19:51:35 +0000 UTCThe Show MUST go on!
Hey Guys! It's Jordy here with a new little project that's been LONG overdue but we're here now! Introducing...the WORLD TOUR MOD!
This was a project that I'd been working on for pretty much forever and there's so much more I want to add but I'm here to give you all a mod that I'm very happy with! So, let's start the show!
MUSIC TO MY EARS
For the longest time, I've always wanted to make my own custom skill but I could never tell what mod project would make the most sense for one, until World Tour came along. I'm happy to introduce the Songwriting skill!
There are different ways for sims to level up this skill. They can practice writing lyrics on the PC or by jotting down some notes in a journal (Parenthood or Life and Death Required). You can have your sims create tracks on the computer. Other ways include watching songwriting tutorials online, going to the recording studio and even attending songwriter camps! There are a bunch of other ways to level up this skill but this is just some of the few!
When you reach the highest level, your sims can unlock the Lyrical Genius reward trait! Lyrical Genius sims can expect higher payout when it comes to their songs!
I've also added preferences for Songwriting skill so your sims can Like or Dislike it! And I've added Songwriting as a Club Activity as well (Get Together required)
Pro Tip: Having a high songwriting skill can be beneficial for certain things like for example, higher songwriting increases the amount of tracks you can produce at home or in the studio!
DONT HAVE A COW...PLANT
Introducing Cow Tunes!
Yes you heard that right! Cow Tunes is music platform tailored for sims who are passionate about well music and songwriting! To get started they'll need to purchase a membership:
Once that's done, they'll have access to so many new features. The main focus is the Independent Artists Panel. This will be where your aspiring songwriters will spend all of their time while handling their career. Initially, many of the features will be inaccessible until your sims acquire a record deal.
Your sims can upload their songs they've created on the computer and earn some simoleons and possibly even a fanbase as well! Customize your song's title and a description by clicking on the CD track! After uploading your sims may get some feedback from CowTune users (spoiler alert: not all of them will be nice!)
DO WE HAVE A DEAL?
Speaking of Record Deals...
If you want your sims to take their craft to the next level, they can do so by submitting a demo to one of three record labels! (Sending a Demo costs $200 simoleons a piece)
There are 3 Record Labels to choose from:
Depending on the label, there's a chance that your sims may or may not get signed! Dinky Beats is more open to new talent, Maxis Music is extremely strict and New Tastemakers aren't as picky as Maxis Music but still hold higher standards than Dinky Beats!
If your sim is rejected, they'll get a moodlet which will keep them from resubmitting another demo for a few days.
But if they do manage to get signed they'll get a notification and a new trait! Some labels will even give you a sign on bonus too!
They'll also receive Custom Buffs and may feel good or bad about the deal they've just signed!
And if you have my Growing Pains Mod installed, when asking kids what they want to be when they grow up and they select “Rockstar”, if they choose to follow through and decide they want to get signed they may earn this moodlet down below:
TIME TO MAKE ART
Okay your sim is officially a signed artist..but what now?
Well, now your sims can unlock some of the many other features that come with Cow Tunes!
You can have your sims do things like rehearse, visit the recording studio to record music, opt in for photoshoots, perform concerts, attend award shows and yes, even go on a world tour!
Some of the these events will give your sims money, increase their fandom, raise their fame/reputation level if you have Get Famous and I've added some chance cards to certain ones so your sims could get some interesting storytelling experiences!
SPECIAL REQUESTS
Did I mention that sometimes sims will get special invites to other projects? Yes! I've been working on this for a bit now and now, there's a chance for your sims to get invited to do other special events like record music for a movie soundtrack, perform at an awards ceremony and even guest star on a TV show!
AND THE AWARD GOES TO...
This was ESPECIALLY fun to do! Your sims can attend 3 award shows:
Record Labels can submit your sims music to the Will Wright Visionary Arts Committee which will earn a nomination for an award! All you have to do is attend the award your nominated for and there's a chance your sim will either win or lose! Winning will give your sim a Starlight Accolade award!
There are also some new socials I've included like Practicing for Acceptance Speech or Discussing the Awards night!
ALBUM MODE
Being a Signed Artist isn't just about the fans and having fun, you've got work to do! Signed Sims can submit their songs to the record label (2 Tracks for a Single, 4 for an EP and 8 for a full album) Once the label's received your work, they'll send a confirmation and you'll have to wait a bit before hearing back if they'll push the project forward.
You'll be given a prompt if the project moves forward or if it's rejected. If the album has been accepted, your sim will be given their money up front and you'll get an increase in fans for the latest project!
DROPPING THE BALL
I did say that it's going to be work didn't I? Labels are going to want to see returns on their investments and your sims will need to work hard to keep from being dropped by their labels! Doing things like rehearsals, going on tour, performing at events and interacting with fans are some of the ways to keep the interest going!
If you feel like the musician life is not for your sims, they can easily opt out on the phone and quit the label!
But be warned, SOME labels don't forget if your sims cut ties with them and it'll be MUCH harder to get another chance if you choose to do so!
In the Event your sim is stuck in a shady record deal, have them go to court! There's a chance your sims might lose their case and it'll be another 48 hours before they'll be able to do try again!
INDUSTRY RIVAL
I'm all for the drama in a sims story and that's why I've created the INDUSTRY RIVAL. A new relationship type for sims who are also signed artists! Artists who have a bad relationship with other artists can Call Sim an Industry Plant to make the relationship happen!
There are some cool interactions as well that sims can do so keep an eye on that! If you want to make a random sim your industry rival, I've included a cheat to do so! Just be sure to Shift+Click and add whoever you want as a rival that way!
GENRES
A cute storytelling idea that came to mind was giving your sims the ability to add genre traits! These are purely cosmetic and just for fun and don't add anything extra!
ALL AROUND THE WORLD
You can't have a WORLD TOUR mod without being able to tour! Signed Artists can schedule their tours and they'll be gone for about 3 days! But don't worry their needs will be well taken care of while they're gone! They'll earn a moodlet and maybe a chance card!
Performance Based
I mentioned earlier that keeping the labels happy is by submitting music, going to events and doing things like touring and performing. I've added a hidden score to keep track of how well your sims are doing. This will be your sims Stage Presence Score. Doing things like rehearsing will increase this score and the better the score, the better your sims will do with their performances!
I aim to expand this system more in the future! But for now, if you want your sims to check their score, have them do a meeting with their executives via phone or do a virtual one on the computer and get some feedback!
Hot or Not! You Decide!
Sims can check the Hot vs. Not Music Charts each week to see if their music is really selling! For now the music charts are random: Either your sim is on fire for the week and they earn a little extra cash flow! Or...they're not and they'll suffer because of it!
Future plans will include things like performances or sales as indications for how well your sims are doing on the charts! Maybe even some secret things persuade better results!
All About the Fans
As your sims progress in their career, they'll earn a fandom! To help keep the fandom going you can do things like promote an upcoming album release via livestream, attend special events and of course make music!
Be warned though, choices you make can easily make your growing fandom crumble! Things like chance cards or music releases can increase or decrease your fanbase!
Songspiration
I had a cute storytelling idea where sims can practice writing lyrics and earn what I call Songspiration buffs! These are cute buffs sims will get while they're songwriting and they can be based off things going on in their lives! More will be added later on but for now these are the things that add "songspiration":
1) Being Married
2) Having a Baby
3) Getting their Heartbroken
4) Just Being a Teen
5) Winterfest Holiday (Seasons Req.)
Like I said more will be added over time in future updates!
Discover University Support:
Sims can also take Songwriting Electives at University (Discover University Req.)
KEEP IT SOCIAL
Highschool Years Req.
Certain Events will unlock new social bunny posts like getting nominated for an Award or Attending Myshuno Fashion week!
ALL ABOUT THE BUSINESS
(Business & Hobbies EP. Req)
Took a lot to figure out how to make this work but I believe we did it! Business Owners can host a lecture to teach a class on Songwriting by using the whiteboard!
There's so much more I added to this mod but I didn't want to overwhelm you all so I have a little Google Doc that goes into further detail about what's what!
Thank you all for your patience and my constant WIPs haha! I have so many new plans for this mod so believe me when I say there will be more updates in the future! (Two are currently in the making as we speak!)
Any Suggestions are welcome and any issues please let me know since this is such a big mod for me!

How did you get yours to work T_T? I downloaded it and then put it in my mods file. It didnt download as a zip so even if I wanted to unzip/extract with winrar, I couldnt. Am I missing something?
dae4ever💕
I have 3 things to suggest for the future of this mod. Something that would be really cool is if you put genres (let me explain) by genres i mean genres of music such as hip-hop, pop, etc. But i also mean something else, as you showed in the example for music title it says diss track, it would be awesome if you could choose for your song to be a diss track, a song to praise the person, a song to confess undying love, or just a regular song. And maybe with this they could lose reputation or gain it, and the person its directed to could be mad, angry, sad, or embarrassed. Another thing that would be could be cool is gaining or losing rep from photoshoots, tours, and award shows, which they could get buffs from. Final thing is being able to choose artist name as some artists don't have their artist name as their real name. This might make the mod more of a singer life mod but these are my suggestions.
Fairyfly
Your mods are so amazing, and they work SO well. I can't wait to try this one, I've been looking everywhere for a band career mod, and I'm stoked to have found yours. I really enjoyed Growing Pains and I know you put your creativity and skill to suchhhh good use. Thank you for what you do! I'm going to send your page to a few of my Simmer friends, I think they will love your work as well.
takia johnson
my sim is at simchella and I just got a notification she has been let go from the record label, this is the second one she has been let go from but we've been doing interactions. :(
Natália Bastos
where i can find ur translation? i also need the pt br version
jordan
lol...maybe there is nothing wrong with the mod. I experienced that for a sim who needed to do better lol but then. I heard back, with a sim who has higher skill points with the perfect pitch trait. Just think about it: Ironically... since it IS a record label , and they havent responded back. They didnt like your mixtape.
Nicole Adams
How are you downloading? Are you unzipping and putting the file straight into your mods folder?
cinnamoon
Hey I’ve been encountering some issues regarding the EPs and albums. Whenever my sim submit his songs he never gets a response from his label despite waiting for 48h 😓 I’ve tried multiple times but it still doesn’t work
Isaiah Jacques
how do i download this mod i feel like im doing something wrong
Nicole Adams
I hope you can make a tour playable in the future.
Jordacious
Probation was simply just a consequence but it’ll probably be reworked in a later update. As for the fatigue it’s mainly for realism I guess. Anyone would be tired after a long trip 😅
Jordacious
You can just go to their phone and select quit label and it should end their contracts
tight shtt
Hey i love this mode but why is prohibition so long! and why after every single world tour you get a tour fatigue?
LikeyHere
I love this mod but its getting a bit much for my sim, now that my sims family is getting a bit bigger. How do i get my sim to retire?
It's Summer
Holy hell where have you been my whole sims life??? Your mods are INSANE!!!
Jordacious
So actually this is more of something on my end that needs to be tweaked. The calls are a tad bit overpowering so I’m looking into toning it down to where they don’t call as much in a future update!
Mia
my sim created over 10 or more songs, and I still can't get the label option unlocked. so I'll redownload it and see if its still the same.
D.W.
Is there a way to get the labels to stop calling my sim? I've been keeping up on him doing rehearsals and other tasks related to the label but every time he completes one he gets a call from the label saying that he doesn't seem that invested. I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong that is causing the label to call so consistently and frequently. Is it a bug or something for them to be calling this much?
Kyori Jihye
I couldn’t find a PT-BR translation for this mod, so I made a complete and so far functional translation into Brazilian Portuguese. Amazing Mod <3 P/JihyeKyori -Fiz uma tradução PT-BR para esse mod.
Karen O`Brien
Playing with it for over two weeks now and I just wanted to suggest that the activities available in the independent artist panel could be made available without being signed to a label and unsigned artist would have to pay out of pocket to utilize everything that's available this way we could slow down the pace a bit and be able to play with out other mods as well
Jordacious
hi make sure you have LOTs core library updated (make sure you're only seeing one)
Shanice Richardson
Ive added this mod into my mods file but it isn't showing in my game, help :(
Karen O`Brien
Love the mod and how in depth it is thank you so much I have one question tho my sim gets like 3 phone calls a day threatening to be dropped from label even though in the one week I've been playing ive had him release 3 albums, upload tracks to cow tunes daily, attended rehearsals, did photoshoot, did an interview and go on tour and was still dropped so was this intentional like am I meant to be doing more to not get dropped?
Tumelo Motaung
Does it need a ts4script to work
Alicia Graham
I love this mod. Where can I find the updated version?
Dejah Monè
sacrificial has road to fame and its just like this and wicked pixel there was also another one I use to use as well that doesn't work anymore but I've been wanting to try this one for after watching itstroi

Hi! I found your mod really interesting and I believe it has a lot of potential. It's always great to find mods with this theme, especially considering that the game still hasn’t released an expansion focused on music... that would be a dream come true! I’d like to share some feedback about how the mod works: About the music tracks: It can be a bit frustrating how many tracks are created every time you write a song (especially when your songwriting skill is high). Before you know it, your inventory is full of over 100 tracks — and many of them don’t serve much purpose. Since CowTunes doesn’t differentiate between tracks, you can basically upload the same song multiple times and it registers as something new. I did see in the documentation that you mentioned this as a known issue with the mod (at least for now), and I totally understand. But I believe that limiting the creation to just one track per song written would make things more manageable and even more realistic. Creating multiple tracks from one composition makes gameplay a bit too easy. Recording compositions: It would be really cool to add a recording step to the songwriting process. That would bring more realism and gameplay depth. For example, your Sim could write the lyrics first, then go through a recording phase (even as a rabbit hole), and only then receive the finished track in their inventory — ready to upload or send to a label. Right now, writing a song quickly on the computer and already getting fully produced tracks feels a little too easy. For players wanting to create a full album, this more in-depth process would be amazing. Collaborations between Sims: This is just an idea — if it's technically possible — but it would be fantastic to be able to write and produce songs collaboratively with another Sim. Creating a joint song and uploading it as a collaboration would add such a fun and realistic dynamic to the mod! CowTunes Platform: In a future update, it would also be great to see how many songs, albums, singles, or EPs have already been uploaded to the platform. It would be even cooler to be able to check the reach of each track — like how many plays it got. Imagine that! It would add an amazing engagement layer to the whole experience. These are just a few ideas and suggestions. If you ever consider any of them in the future, it would be magical! Thanks again for creating this mod. I’m really excited to see what updates are coming next!

OMG, I have been wanting something like this for soooo looonngg! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Jordacious
shift click on your sims and go to the world tour tab!
Milz2012
Oh and possible make it so the genres do make a difference on the music you do and the awards you receive.
Milz2012
Could you possibly work on removing the rabbit holes? Like the awards ceremony be a live play that works like a wedding where people are clapping for you if you get an award or you are able to clap for someone else if they get an award, or the world tours have live play locations in the bars of different worlds that you can do a stage performance. Maybe create some lots that we can place for the shows. I got so many ideas now. Wow, this mod is wonderful!
JoJo
How do we add the genre traits?
Kween Kartel
Omg i feel so seen...did u make this just for me lol ♥️♥️♥️ quick question tho... How do i collaborate with other songwriters? 😅
Jordacious
hi there! Creating your own band was something I figured a lot of people would want but it wasn't something that was going to be ready by the time the main mod was released. I do have plenty of gameplay and dynamics I want to do with bands so look for it in a future update!
absbabs
Absolutely love love LOVE the mod so far! Question: is it possible to create a band? Or does each band member have to be an independent artist?
Jordacious
Hi there yes I was actually just about to make an announcement haha. I just got back to my PC and noticed it wasn't working. Then I realized it was missing that hint as to why you can't do a recording session
Nico
Is it intended that you can't go to a Recording Session at the studio until you've signed with a label? Nothing happens when I click any of the sessions if I still haven't signed with a label (Independent Artist). Working on trying to figure out which of my mods are conflicting, not sure if this one is intended though.
Jordacious
Hai there would you mind sending me a DM so we can troubleshoot the issue there? I’d be more than happy to help figure out the issue 😊
Hailey Laycock
half works for me repaired my game and checked all my mods, did it without my other mods everytime i try to do anything in the independent panel my sim doesn't do it only photoshoots work i can't get my record deal was really excited for this mod
Jordacious
Hi there yes if your sim has a high level songwriting skill they’ll get up to 8 tracks in their inventory!
Darwsims
Hi! I just wanted to let you know I've translated this mod into Spanish, it’s truly amazing, thank you for creating such great content! https://www.patreon.com/posts/130397245
Gabriel Razera
I started playing with this mod today and I'm already in love with it, I have a question tho, when I try to write new music, my sim will sit on the computer for about 10s and then she'll have 8 CDs in her inventory is this normal? also, is there a way to tell if a song is good or not?
Ava Holmshaw
hi!! love this mod, is there anyway of creating a band instead of just an independent artist?
Clueless Oasis
Bought this tier just for this mod, Giving 10's where 10s are due. You did your big one and I just know when this mod is fully released this mod is gonna be a MUST HAVE for those get famous mod girlies.
