Earning Tips from Comedy

I haven't found this anywhere else on the forums but apologize if it's a duplicate.

My Sim has level 8 Comedy Skill and level 5 Charisma and I have her using the mic to "Tell Jokes" and "Perform Routine" ALL THE TIME. She does it in the park, at the lounges, at home to friends etc. I CANNOT for the life of me earn a single tip. I even controlled her roommate and had them watch her perform and I was not even able to force them to tip her.

Any suggestions? Am I the only one with this problem?

    My comedian sim didn't have a problem... She got her $100 tip (required for career) from one sim. I did notice an option on the computer to improve her routines, maybe try that?

    I couldn't get any tips from comedy either, he had to learn the piano to get tip for the job promotion.

    That sim was a super fan! My tips for guitar came from different sims.

    Took me some time to figure out. I realized that when i just "tell jokes" I don't earn tips. But performing routines does. You have to make sure that you let the entire routine run its course and that there are sims listening to what you are saying. They usually have a microphone bubble on their heads. When your Sim has finished his/her routine, you will see a little +xxx$$ added to your family funds..that's your tips.

    I brought a microphone and placed it in the park and he got 75$ before he finished his routine, Then sold the mic. I was wondering how to put the mic in inventory or do I have purchase one every time?

    just leave the MIC there.

    I order to make money from tips your Sim has to write routines and perform them. Have a party ... it's easier than going to the lounge. (townies hog the mic) Sims in the same household don't give tips though. You have to invite friends and neighbors.

    I always toggle death to false or my Sims will die a hysterical death.
