Sims 4 won't play custom music.

I put music in the custom folders and when I launched the game and went into the options to make sure it was working, the songs all had names like "UUUUUUU UUU UUUUU UU" and wouldn't play. The files were all .mp3, which I read was the file the game needs to play the music. Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening or how to fix it? I would appreciate any help.

  • The Sims 4 permits you to put your own music into the game and play it on the pre-existing radio stations, which are sorted by genre. Here's how to add the music to the game:

    1. Choose which songs you want to put in the game. They must be all .mp3 files with a bit rate no larger than 320Kbps.
    2. Go to your games' "Custom Music" folder which is normally located in C:\Users\you\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Custom Music on Windows and go into the folder for any of the seven stations.
    3. In your selected station's folder, paste (right click and select "Paste" or press CTRL+V) all the songs that you want there.
    4. Start your game, turn on the stereo and select the appropriate station and see if your music works. Note that it will be shared with the audio shipped with the game for that station but those tracks can be disabled individually in the "Game Settings" menu.

    I don't know what the fix might be, but found these, I put them in bold.
    If that isn't the problem I don't know, maybe someone else will.

    Hi 

    I know this is an old thread but I'm having issues with my custom music I've done everything correctly as far as I can tell. the correct names show up in the setting menu, it's the correct format, and I've made it so only the custom music will play on a particular channel but no audio plays even in the options menu nothing plays.
