Wrong Build/Buy mode music

Hi, the game is working pretty well for me. But a few weeks ago I noticed that the original sims build and buy mode music isn't the same as the old 50s shopping/piano music that it was on launch in February.  I can't find anyone else with this problem. Most of the time the game will play this jazz-type music which I really don't like and had never heard before 🤔 ... occasionally it will go back to the original music, but most of the time it's the strange jazz music that plays during build/buy mode. It's very odd. This is just in the normal neighborhoods, the music in Studio town, etc are as they have always been. I wonder if it's music from another expansion.

    So it sounds like you’re going into lots that have no household in them and commercial lots. The game plays the 50s shopping/piano music when you have sims on a lot. When there’s no sims it will play the jazz like music you described. This music is from the sims unleashed

    This actually happens when you build on a lot before you move sims into the lot. The music is different but once you move a sims in and then build the house on the lot, the music in buy mode will be the old 50s music again. So try moving some sims into a vacant block of land first and then build. Some of that jazz music is from the Hot Date expansion pack too. Let me know how you go.
