It has been a long time since I have done this but I am putting some of my own music into the custom music folder and tried it out in game. Here is a cheeky video showing my Sims enjoying themselves: :smile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl0kSZXoxvIThe music itself is not as loud as it should be so the Sims and background might sound loud

I def did this in TS3. I basically just took some of the songs from The Sims URBZ and The Sims Bustin Out. So much fun!

>:) I used to build random houses in Sims 2 back in the day, thus I put my own music for build and buy mode as well as custom station.I never did it for Sims 3 or 4 though. >:)

I didn't know I could that, is that available in Sims 4?

I did once or twice in TS2 but i was also fine with the game music too which is genius LOL in TS4 i probably won't since it's not essential to do so. I always make sure there's a Stereo in every house and Community Lot though i can't play it without the music, even just a small boom box it HAS to be there.

I've never done it but there's a "Custom Music" folder in the same folder as the mods folder and stuff so I assume you just add music files to that folder?As for me, I play the game with the sound off so it'd be kinda pointless haha!

Has anyone put their own music into The Sims before?

I did in TS2 as sims were more involved with music. I don't bother in 4 as music is just not a part of sim life there.

I put music in so I can have something to listen to while Sims are asleep (in a room without the stereo) or Sims are at work.

Here is a similar video with some favorites of mine:

The Sims were actually freezing cold by the end of it! :D

I have not heard much of the Urbz soundtrack. I think that Urbz would be a cool theme for a future Sims EP though :smile:

I did this all the time in TS2! I put custom music in the neighborhood folder as well as build/buy because my computer used to take forever to load the lots so I wanted to listen to music I like. Now since I have a better computer it doesn't take long to load so I just leave it as it is.

I have done this in The Sims 4. Needed some actual Alternative on the channel with that name since the songs in the game were very hard to differentiate from Pop. I also turned the Spooky channel into a Metal channel for my sims and Easy Listening is currently a Classic Rock channel.
