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 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 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.

I still do it in ts3. I like listening to music while I play so it only made since for me to combine the two.

I absolutely would in TS3. I like to have music on while I play, so why not make it a part of the game? I never really tried with any of the others - I believe I remember reading once it could be done with TS1, but I was young and had no clue where to even begin with that. I've been tempted to look into it again.
