Creative activities in The Sims 4 are quite profitable in the long run. If you play without codes for money, surely at least one of your Sims is engaged in at least one of the types of creativity offered in this part of the game.
As far as music lessons are concerned, without getting a proper job, they won't initially earn any Simoleons unless you play for tips in various community lots. But it should be borne in mind that playing for tips is available only to guitarists, and only if they have at least the third level of guitar playing skill. For violinists and singers, there is also an opportunity to earn money: just start playing the violin or sing, and Sims passing by will begin to “tip” your musician. But there is no way pianists and organists can make money from tips, and for musician Sims playing other instruments, this "earnings" are unlikely to be enough.
Thus, the most profitable way to earn money is to publish works of your own composition, and for this you need to know how to compose a song in The Sims 4. This article will help you with this.
How to compose a song in The Sims 4 with guitar and violin
When you upgrade your guitar skill to level 8, you will be able to compose songs using the action that pops up in the menu when you click on the guitar.
