The Violin
This violin can be played by either adults or children. It plays the violin music that comes with Hot Date. It is cloned from the guitar, so unlike some of the other violins out there, other Sims can watch the player, and clap or boo, accordingly. Sorry, only one version available at this time.
Requirements: Livin'Large and Hot Date
Download Violin plays Hot Date violin music |

The Saxophone
Saxophone comes in four versions. Version one is the solo sax. It plays the Saxophone music from Unleashed. Version two plays jazz/latin music. Version three plays classical music, and version four plays rock music. All Sims will play like experts on all four versions, no matter what their level of expertise. Versions two, three, and four include new animations for kids; kids can play version one, but it isn't recommended.
Requirements: Livin'Large and Unleashed

Download version two jazz/latin music.
Download version three classical music.
Download version four rock music.

Updated Feb 3, 2003:
A stand has been added to the bottom of the cello, and cello has been re-cloned from a Pre-Unleashed version of the electric guitar, because some people were not able to use the cello due to an expansion conflict. The new cello only requires Livin'Large. Also the name of the animation has been shortened to take care of the missing animation problem some people were having.
**Sim Host subscribers can download the update files seperatly for free.**
Download stand only- if you already have a cello that is working in your game.
Download updated version one (includes stand, animation, and Livin'Large iff)
Download updated version two (includes stand, animation, and Livin'Large iff)
Change Your Sounds to More Realistic Music
If you would like your instruments to sound more realistic there are a few simple steps that you can take yourself. First you will need to download Eli Sims to make things extra simple.
After you have installed Eli Sims, start the program and click on the "Music" tab.
Now select the "Classical" folder by clicking on it. (For Jazz/Latin instruments select the "Latin" folder.)
Click on the "Add" button and search your hard drive for you favorite mp3 files.
Once you have located the song you would like to place in the folder, just double click on it, and it will add it to your classical music play list.
Use Eli Sims to make shortcuts from your classical folder to your "Music\Modes\Buy" folder, or download music to put into the game.

**During game play if you would like to go to the next song, just make you Sim put down the instrument they are playing, and then pick it back up. When they pick it up they will play the next song on the play list. |
