You can find the Stack of Magazines in the Living Room section of the Home Store.) - Make a Teenager read TEEN CELEBRITY magazine (3 mins 38 secs) (Ah there it is: Teen Celebrity magazine.

It's not for Adults!) - Make a Teenager Watch Funny Cat Videos (1 hrs 40 mins +) (According to this magazine's feature story, Johnson Beamer got famous by performing music and uploading the songs to... that same website that hosts funny cat videos.

Now go for 3 pieces of music!) - Write 6 Pieces of Music (Use the Bass Guitar) (Write 6 pieces of music! Did you notice that the fancier instruments have higher star ratings? The higher the star rating, the faster your Sim can write music and the more likely it is your Sim will find rarer notes.

Remember, the better the instrument, the faster your Sim writes!) - Write 12 pieces of music (Use the Electric Guitar) (Wow, this song is GOOD! It's going to be a hit for sure! Okay, now go for 12 pieces of music! Don't forget those 3 star instruments and their faster composing times!) - Write 15 pieces of music (Use the Microphone) (Your Sim's masterpiece is almost complete! Only got 3 more notes to go! Find the last 3 notes! You're so close...)
Completing the goals within the indicated time will unlock you a set of "premium" instruments. These are 3 star instruments, costing § (Simoleons) instead of LPs. The Sim Town Sign:
Now that you have finished the Road to Fame quest, it is time to start collecting the fame-related resources. Some are given randomly, but the simplest way to collect them is by doing the Music Writing hobby. The required resource are: TV Show Cameo, Radio Interview and Magazine Photoshoot. The sign works like the monuments and goes up to level 3. Once you've reached that, you've unlocked the Teen Idol Mansion. The first one you build is free, the next one costs you §s.
The Sim Town sign also gives randomly additional bonuses to the revenue collected from the map. At level 3 that is § 600. There are no additional levels.
Level 0 to 1: 5 of each resource -> § 200 random bonuses from the town map revenues Level 1 to 2: 10 of each resource -> § 400 bonuses Level 2 to 3: 15 of each resource -> § 600 bonuses Skipping costs 3 LPs for each resource (like with the monuments)
These bonuses show like the monument bonuses but the icon has an H or Terra icons. These bonuses are not restricted to one for the whole map, but can appear at multiple buildings during collection of the revenue.
