Game guide:Adding custom music

The Sims 2
The Sims 2 allows you to add your own music into the game. However, it must be placed in the folder for an already existing radio station.


 * 1) Choose which songs you want to put into the game. They must be all .mp3 files with a bit rate no larger than 320Kbps.
 * 2) Copy the songs to a separate folder, such as "My Documents". Do not move (drag) them, rather right click and select "Copy" or select them and press CTRL+C.
 * 3) Go to My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 2\Music (not in "Computer") and select one of the folders for an already existing station.
 * 4) Paste (right click on the folder and select "Paste" or press CTRL+V) all the songs there.
 * 5) Once you have loaded The Sims 2, you'll need to go to the Sound options and under the radio station(s) which you placed your music under, you need to tick the name of the song so that it will be playable in the game (you can untick preloaded songs too).
 * 6) Start your game, turn on the stereo and select the radio station you placed your music in and see if your music works.

The Sims 3
The Sims 3 allows you to put your own music into the game and play it on the Custom Music station on your Sims' radios. Here's how to add the music to the station.


 * 1) Choose which songs you want to put in the game. They must be all .mp3 files with a bit rate no larger than 320Kbps.
 * 2) Copy the songs to a separate folder, such as "My Documents". Do not move (drag) them, rather right click and select "Copy" or select them and press CTRL+C.
 * 3) Go to your games' "Custom Music" folder which is normally located in My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 (not in "Computer").
 * 4) Paste (right click on the folder and select "Paste" or press CTRL+V) all the songs there.
 * 5) Start your game, turn on the stereo and select the "Custom Music" station and see if your music works.

All should be fine. Now let the party begin!
