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 haven't for Sims 4 yet but I did that with Sims 2 and 3.

Yes, but not my own. I have a nephew who wrote an entire album of songs (guitar player) and I used some of his music in TS2. I often put a lot of other music in TS2's custom files, and turn off some of Maxis music.

I tried putting my own music in but dont' know how I get tired of listening to the same music when I do my builds.

I added some songs in the island radio channel. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard one on the radio one day. My sims generally don't hang out near the radio long enough for the songs to come on.

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 used to, when I knew how to do it. I'd love to add some more Christmas music, but I have no idea how to even do that anymore.

As much as I like some of the music, listening to it in-game can't happen for me: I constantly alternate between the game speeds, and listening to the music do that -- or stop -- is a mental irritant. What I've done, though, is create playlists that incorporate music from The Sims, The Sims 2, SimCity 3000, SimCity 4, and even SimCities Societies. (Bad game, fair music.) I listen to these while I'm playing --- it's fun to hear Sims Superstar music playing when my sims are running around Del Sol.

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.
