List of songs in The Sims 2

This is a list of songs from the PC version of The Sims 2 and its expansion and stuff packs. This list is separated into songs that are played in the neighborhood view, buy and build modes, Create a Sim, and on loading screens, as well as the Simlish songs that are played on the different radio stations on stereos and community lot wall speakers. Each expansion pack and some stuff packs include songs.

It is possible to create custom radio stations with The Sims 2: FreeTime. These custom stations can contain any song in-game—including build, buy, and CAS songs—and can be played on any stereo.

Radio station music
The Sims 2 features 20 different radio stations, as well as an additional Holiday-themed station that is only available to listen to on a specific stereo. 6 stations are available with the base game, with others being introduced through expansion packs. Each expansion and stuff pack also added new songs to the existing stations as well.

Localized music
The following songs are not native to the US English release, and are found in other regional versions. However, these files can be found through SimPE in the "Locale" folder, rather than the main music folder, and extracted for use in the game.

Miscellaneous music
This list contains all songs that aren't played via the stereo nor in-game. Instead, they're heard through the TV channels, they're heard in trailers or they're hidden in the sound effect files. This list doesn't count short songs that are played from music instruments or the DJ booth, though it does count songs that were cut from the game.

In the sound effect files, there are two unknown instrumental songs. One is 06:23 in duration and the other one is 02:20.
