The Sims 3: Showtime comes with the capability to send your Sim into another player's game. This is called "SimPort".
Steps
- 
Ensure you are on at least Patch 1.32 and have "The Sims 3: Showtime" installed. If you are unsure about the Patch, then load your Game Launcher and hover over the icon in the bottom left corner. If the first 3 digits are "1.32" or greater, then you are ready to go. If not, then you must update your game.
 - 
To update your game, go to the Game Updates tab in the Launcher. Make sure the checkbox is ticked that says "Automatic Updates". Also tick the box that has a series of numbers next to it - like: 1.21.123.011002 to 1.22.9.011002.Advertisement
 - 
Once updated, play the game as normal. Then proceed to launch a saved game or begin a new game.
 - 
Create/Select/Move in a household. The Household must have at least 2 Sims in it - this is so you can continue to play the game while a Sim is away on a SimPort.
 - 
Now, you must have a Sim in (at least) Level Two of any of the three performer careers: Acrobat, Magician or Singer.
 - 
Once you do, click on the "..." button at the bottom left hand side of your screen. Select "SimPort".
 - 
Choose the option "Send a Sim". This will bring up a list of your friends on www.thesims3.com.
 - 
Choose a friend. Then confirm a location for your Sim to perform. Once you have chosen all of this, confirm it.
- There will be a small waiting time for the SimPort connection to be established.
 
 - 
Once the player has accepted, or the game automatically accepts it, your Sim will be whisked away for 12 in-game hours.
- If the player was not online, you will have to wait for them to accept your request before your Sim is paid fully.

If you are using Modifications, ensure they will not mess with your SimPorting - Overwatch, by Twallan, needs to have "Recover Missing Sims" set to "False", for instance.Thanks
