The Sims 4: Pipe Organ Skill Guide
The pipe organ skill was added with The Sims 4: Vampires and is a great option for spooky sims or sims who just want to play an old timey instrument. It works just like the piano, violin, or guitar skill and allows your sims to license their songs they have written to earn an income.

How to Cheat the Pipe Organ Skill
A lot of the time we just can’t be bothered to actually earn skills, so we can cheat them to make the process go faster. To cheat for the pipe organ skill you want to first make sure that you have cheats enabled by opening the cheat box with ctrl + shift + c on your keyboard and typing in testingcheats true and hitting enter. Then you can type in the cheat for the pipe organ skill which is stats.set_skill_level major_pipeorgan 10 you can replace the number 10 with whatever level of the skill you would like.
Writing Songs and Licensing Them
When a sim reaches level 8 in any musical skill they are able to start writing songs. Once you finish a song you are able to actually send it off to earn a bit of in royalties. You can only license one song per instrument at a time, and these will last a week before you can license a different song. Any song you license can earn anywhere from §100 to §1000 simoleons per day.
To license a song you need to have a completed song in your sim’s inventory, then go to the mailbox and choose license. You’ll then be shown any finished songs your sim has on them to choose from and you can pick whichever one you like.
Mentoring Others
Any time that you have a sim who reaches level 10 in a skill, such as pipe organ, they are able to go and mentor other sims who are practicing the skill and can mentor them. Mentoring other sims in the pipe organ skill will help them gain the skill at a quicker rate and they tend to get inspired during the process.

Or just have a quirky teen with a pipe organ as their instrument of choice. Hopefully this guide will help you learn the pipe organ skill quicker! Happy playing!
