-What the Bleep Do We Know at Lyratek.com?

This chart attempts to list all of the songs played on the piano by sim characters in EA's computer game "The Sims 2", organized by skill level.

Much of this information has been gathered from many different sources on the internet, in addition to much listening and digging through my own family's music collection. So many people ask for this information on forums, and only get partial answers at best, I thought I may as well take what I had found and create what we all seem to want and can't find anywhere else: a truly definitive list as complete as possible.

Many thanks to Pianomama.com and all those who have posted answers and clues on all the various forums.

Your sims will play different pieces on the piano depending on what level their creativity skill is at. Each level seems to have about four songs to it, plus some scale/chord exercises, which the game will cycle through randomly.
