Has anyone put their own music into The Sims before?

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:

The music itself is not as loud as it should be so the Sims and background might sound loud

    I used to toss my iTunes playlist in there after converting it to a form that the game could read. And it was mostly baroque classical. Would love to see Sims 5 make it able to create your own music station...that will broadcast to your sims' radio. Half the time, my stereos would stop emitting sounds through "custom music" station and I'd have to reset the stereo or sell and buy a new one...and sometimes that wouldn't even fix it.

    Mind you...I turn music off in my game as I play whilst watching TV. Multi-tasking!


    Alexa would hate my guts.

    Google 101 on how to confuse the living **** out of Alexa.

  • Definitely. My TS3 parties are always thumpin' and bumpin'. At first, I used to add music to TS4 as well, however, I don't like the sound mechanic in TS4 at all, it's way too spotty. If I put music into the game it's for me as much as it is for my Sims. I should be able to hear it clearly anywhere in the same room that the stereo is in.

    Indeed. I actually enjoy plenty of the existing music, but I use the custom music feature in both TS3 and TS4 to change it up a little. A bit of variation always helps.
