do you play with sound on?

Sure do. It's not as fun without sound.

Yes I do, I like listening to my sims talking, i like listening to the TV when they are watching and I quite like some of the music that comes with the stereo (such as Retro, Baroque and Electronica); even the music on Build/Buy is all part of the experience for me.

The only exception I make is the emotion change "Sting" sound, I find it rather irritating to have that noise every time a sim changes emotion, particularly if they change emotions quickly in succession, so I have that switched off. :smile:

Sometimes I like to play with sound on, but I play in a common area of my house and I don't want to disturb others. Other times I like to watch videos or TV while playing.

Always.

I play with sound on, game music off (but not radios) and that makes me happy. I've learned to just ignore emotion stings lol.

I play with pandora on and just the sound effects of the Sims without background music.

When I’m playing the game, yes. I turn the sound off when I’m building to listen to my own music.

Sometimes. Sound is always on, but music is situational. (I allow the Object Music to play, but mode music no)

Always play with sound on. Might do a build session with no sound, though.

No, because a lot of the music and sound effects are annoying and I'm sensitive to constant repetition. I'd like to pick and choose which sounds to hear, but I feel like many of them are lumped in the wrong categories and it leads to me turning everything off.

For example, I originally liked having the UI sounds on because I like the blips and bloops of pressing buttons. But if I leave it on I have to hear the same annoying jingle every time a Sim completes a whim or even changes emotions, which is excessive in my opinion.

Once the voices started to get too repetitive I turned those off as well, but apparently Sim babies aren't under the Voices category, they're under the sound effects category (I know they only cry for a few seconds until your Sim can get to them, but if I wanted to hear a baby cry I would just have one in real life.) So I had to disable all the sound effects just because of that one thing.

tldr; Basically I wish I could hear the weather sounds, household sounds like kitchen knives cutting and doors closing, but without all the little cutesy jingles and music.
