Custom Music... What's your sim jamm'in to?

Looks like everybody still getting their jam on. :thumbup:

After a huge 2-day jazz festival this past weekend I'm all tuckered out. :? I'm not in the old school mood anymore and I'm feeling more in the mood for lot's of songs in Simlish. Listening to Wiseguy from URBZ right now. I will be moving all my simlish songs from Sims Bustin Out, Hot Date, Urbz, The BEP's, and whatever else I got into my custom music folder sometime this weekend.

Ya'll keep on groov'in and get ur game on. :mrgreen:

One of my most favorite simlish songs.

My sims do love their custom music. I was laughing so hard I didn't record her too well. But she was really gett'in down.

Wait! you can put your own music in your game? I had no idea. How do you do it?

You can read how to do it on page 1. Some people only change it in one folder but I aways suggest doing it in both.:wink:

Ok So right now my sim, Kaylie(my avatar) is jamming to Paramore
Would it hurt my game any if I deleted some of the custom music out of my folder? The default music I mean?

No it won't hurt it. :wink:

I've had trouble putting music into my game. I don't download any music, I just go out and buy the cd and rip them to my computer which makes them a WMA file and not MP3. Is there anyway to easily convert them to a file that will be compatible with my game?
Because my sims NEED some real music :)
such as but not limited to,
Frank Sinatra
F logging Molly
Silversun Pickups
YeahYeahYeahs.

Just Google or Bing a Wma or (in the case of iTunes) M4a music converter. You will find a selection of products that will do the job. Some can even convert DRM protected music. You can download the converter online. Some are free, but only have limited use (such as only 1-minute output on songs...so who wants that?). So the best route is to buy the complete product for around $15.

I get all my music from iTunes, and most all their music is in M4a format, so I had to buy a converter online, and it successfully converted all my iTunes songs to mP3 format and stored the converted files into a separate folder, so the originals remained untouched. Then I just copied the converted files into my Sims game to the Custom Music folder. Played just fine in my game.

Here's some new tunes my Sims are jammin' to:

Panic Switch......Silversun Pickups
Decode............Paramore (from Twilight)
Black Heart Inertia......Incubus
New Divide......Linkin Park (from Transformers)
Second Chance......Shinedown
Bet On It......Troy (from High School Musical)
Rumored Nights......The Academy Is
Secret Valentine......We the Kings
Sunshine......All-American Rejects
Thunder......Boys Like Girls
Beautiful Thing......Sister Hazel
When It Rains......Paramore
