The Entertainment career track varies greatly between the two games. In The Sims, its promotion levels and job descriptions are similar to those of the Show Business career track from The Sims 2: University, while in The Sims 2: FreeTime it seems to incorporate elements of the Musician, Animal Care and Superstar careers from the original game's expansions, as well as some NPC careers such as the Mime.
You're available for auditions, but can still make your tips at night. Good people-skills could get your picture and resume served along with the salad.

2) Extra
You're "atmosphere," "living scenery." The pay is pitiful, but at least you're on the set. No lines, though... and Central Casting can call you for the day shift or the night shift, depending on the production needs. Make sure you develop your charisma skill so that when that speaking part does come through, you'll be ready.

3) Bit Player
You're able to support yourself in your chosen career--barely. You've actually got a few lines to speak... ironically, they often seem to be, "May I take your order, sir?" Building relationships and your body is important now.

4) Stunt Double
That's not the box-office mega-star being set on fire and tossed from a helicopter--that's you. You're making a name for yourself, though, and directors like your novel ideas for mock mayhem. Keep those creative juices flowing. You just might graduate to a low-budget starring role of your own--if you survive. Keep yourself and your gear in top shape, or you may miss that air bag. And keep developing your active social life--not only is it fun, it's very useful.

5) B-Movie Star
Cheap sci-fi, lowbrow horror and teen hormone comedies--you're the star...even if your best work seems to go "straight to video". If you really want to make it big, you need a great body and some very convincing and creative dialogue. Lots of work needed on these skills from here on out.

6) Supporting Player
Your name's not on the poster, but at least it's a "major motion picture". You're the best friend, the villain's sidekick, or the cop who dies in the first half-hour. But, the studios have noticed you, and big things may be on the horizon. Keep practicing your lines and remember, it's not always what you know, it's who you know that counts.

7) TV Star
Your talent is acknowledged at last, and you're referred to as "Sim City's home-grown star". It's never been easier to throw a party at your place. You can afford a bigger house now, but the killer hours assure that you're not home as much as you'd like. Keep developing your charisma and body skills or you'll never get to the big screen.

8) Feature Star
You made it to the big screen. You're now making more money for fewer hours, but you may suddenly have to leave town for a distant location shoot. You're loving all the attention. Everyone wants to be your friend--but is that always a good thing? Sometimes you long for the spontaneous creativity and audience response of Broadway...

It's a whole new world for a star of your magnitude. Live performances, six days a week, singing, dancing in Sim City's latest hit musical. Who knew it would be so physically demanding? But those cast parties are a great place to meet new friends, no? And you've never felt so creatively pumped up!

Everywhere you go the paparazzi snap your picture. They've just placed your star on the SimCity "Walk of Fame." And when the lights get too bright, you can always retreat to your mansion on the hill.

In addition to the FreeTime entertainment career, The Sims Life Stories also features an entertainment career track. The career is somewhat different from the FreeTime version, in that it contains more elements of a movie career.
The salary is not very good being an Intern, but you have gotten your foot in the door of the lucrative Entertainment Industry. Being at the bottom means there is only one way to go - up!
