The Sims 4 Entertainer Career
Rewards for Musicians and Comedians
The Entertainer Career lets you choose between Comedian and Musician
Career Quick Links
The Sims 4's Entertainer Career lets you choose between making your Sim a Comedian or Musician. You likely know which you'd want to choose based on the goals of your Sim, but I'll still highlight the benefits of each Career below and suggest some good Traits and Aspirations. Thankfully, the Career branches early and its early levels let you choose whether you want your Daily Task to be Writing Jokes or Practicing your Sim's Musical abilities, so you can get a head start in either Branch.
How to: Entertainer Career Cheats
Press Control + Shift + C then type testingcheats on and press enter. You can now get promotions with careers.promote entertainer - you can also see all Career Cheats or visit a full list of Cheats in The Sims 4.
Here are the first four levels of the Career, and its requirements. The Ideal Mood is Inspired for 1-2, Playful for 3-4. Sims can get Inspired by taking a Thoughtful Shower, Playful by taking a bubble bath or watching the comedy channel on a television:

Rewards for the Comedian Career Branch
The Comedian Career will see your Sim to honing their Comedy Skill and provide some perks you couldn't otherwise get. The Ideal Mood for Comedians is Playful, but strangely the rewards you receive are all Energizing Decor at time of writing. Still, even Playful Auras won't help while at work. What really helps is the Goofball Trait, as it will randomly trigger Sims a Playful buff. If your Household has Children, Childish can also help as they can get Playful by playing with Children. A big reason to follow this Career rather than doing Stand-Up Comedy is the extra earnings you'll get on Work Days. The best Aspiration for this Career is Joke Star, found under Popularity.
Note the level 9 Reward, which gives you the ability to Perform Comedy in Space. That's really what it does - get a Rocket, build it up with the Rocket Science Skill, and you can go off to the stars and earn $400 and an 8 hour Confident Moodlet (again, weird.). You cannot do this repeatedly, but must wait for the buff to disappear first, thus it can be done every 8 hours. Use mirror to raise your Charisma Skill after making your Sim brush their teeth to get Confident. This will boost Skill gains by a large percentage.

Musician Career
Musician Career Rewards - Piano and Guitar, with Misc Items
The Musician Career will task your Sim with learning the Guitar or Violin, along with Piano. This Career's Rewards will help make your Sim inspired while at home, should you enable their Emotional Auras. You'll get an unique Guitar and Piano out the Rewards, so if your Sim is musically inclined, take this Career Branch.
The Ideal Mood for Musicians is Inspired. Select the Musical Genius Aspiration under Creativity to make the most of this Career, while also choosing the Music Lover and Creative Traits. Select between Guitar and Violin so that you can work to level only one of them, given the need to also master the Piano.

Comedian is a dangerous occupation, done to its full potential. I brought up two sims through childhood to young adult, childish and goofball traits, joke star aspiration. They got married and had a boy, my legacy child. Both died early as young adults from hysteria.

with the get together expansion, you kinda can but its not perfect
I'm not sure 2hat level my sim is but she is in the comedian branch. An opportunity came up -
X is getting ready to take the stage; been practising a brand new comedy routine that she wants to debut for the audience. Suddenly her cellphone rings.. it's the president of Plumbob Pictures recording studio ! He's been keeping tabs on her career growth, and thinks she's going to be the hottest new comedian to EVER hit the airwaves. In fact, he wants to lock down exclusive tv rights to her act but there's a single stipulation: must go to the studio immediately and debut her new routine live on TV !
Is X ready to skyrocket her career upwards, or will she contunue growing on the comedy circuit at a slow and steady pace ?
Film the Stand-Up Special (X will gain fame and be prompted to the top of the Comedian Career)
Perform at the Club (X's life will continue unchanged.)
Did they get rid of the Entertainer Career? I don't see it anymore in my game.
