Music has always been integral to The Sims experience, whether it’s the iconic original soundtrack or Simlish versions of songs by Japanese Breakfast and Carly Rae Jepsen. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Sims 4 is no exception hereꦯ, particularly since Get Together’s addition of the Dancing skill.

So long as you aren’t playing on a console, you’ve also always been able to add your own tunes to the in-game radio stations for your Sims to do th💟e BlicBlok to. With The Sims 4, all you need is some properly formatted files and the right file location.

How To Add Music To Radio Stations

If you’re starting to get tired of Simlish covers of songs, then The Sims 4 offers players the option to customise in-game radio stations by adding their own music files. When you add music to the game, it’ll play on radios, earbuds, and s🐎peakers if yo❀u select the corresponding station.

Music was often added to a custom folder in earlier installmen𒊎ts of the Sims franchise. In The Sims 4, music is instead added to thꦦe radio station of your choice, meaning that if you add something to the Pop music folder, it will appear on the Pop station; this also means that this music will count as a Sim’s favourite music if they prefer that station.

File Requirements For Custom Music

For the game to recognise your music files, they have to meet certain technica▨l requirements:

• Files must be mp3s
• They should have a bit rate of 320kbps or less

If the files you want in the game don’t meet these requirements, you ♏can use software to convert or compress them.

Whatever you name the audio files you’re loading in is how they’ll appear in the game’s settings as the song title, so make sure to give them names that make sense to you.

If you edit the file’s metadata, you can add the artist's name too. This♏ isn’t necessary, but it can help you keep your files organised in-game.

How To Add Custom Music On Windows PC

You should copy your files to the clipboard and go to the following file location:

C:\Users\[Your Username]\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Custom Music

Once you’ve found the Custom Music folder, you should see a list of most of the radio stations available to you in The Sims 4.

Paste your music files into whichever radio station you see fit. Next time you boot up the game, the songs should be available on the radio station.

Exactly which radio stations are available will depend on which DLC you have🧜. Some stations also won’t let you add songs to them, like the Prom Night station, ☂or stations associated with certain festivals or DJ Booths.

If you’re struggling to find the Custom Music folder, then there’s a chance that The Sims 4’s files are set up slightly differently on your computer.

Try copying the file location above, replacing the [Your Username] section of the file path with the name your Windows account is set up to, and pasting it into the bar at the top of File Explorer. Alternatively, you can search your files in the Custom Music folder.

Your Windows username might not be exactly what your username is listed as on the start bar. It’s probably the first five characters of the email you set up ♚your Windows acc𒁏ount with.

How To Add Custom Music On Apple Mac

The process for adding music to The Sims 4 on Mac is similar to adding it on PC. Find the audio files you want to add then head to the following file path:

Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Custom Music > [Radio Station Name]

Pick which station you want to add your music to, open that folder, and then paste or drag your music in. Again, when you next start up your game, the songs should be there.

The best way of checking if you♋r songs have been i🔴mported correctly is by opening the Music section of the Game Options menu. There are some instructions on how to do that coming up.

How To Toggle Songs On Or Off

If you’re sick of hearing certain songs over and over because your Sim won’t stop listening to the same station, then you can switch individual songs off in your game settings.

Open the Options menu from either the Home Screen or in-game, then select Game Options. Pick Music from the options on the left-hand side.

A list of in-game radio stations will open in a list on the left, next to where you selected Music. On the right-hand side, you’ll be able to see a list of songs belonging to that station.

You can scroll through every song on each station and check the box on the right to toggle them on or off. Once they’ve been toggled off, they won’t appear in your 🐷game again unless you toggle them back on.

You can have a completely custom station if you choose a station to add your songs to and toggle off all songs pre-loaded on that station. Try to pick🤪 a station you don't really like, or that you're sick of hearing. Goodbye, London Bridge is Falling Down earworm.

How To Turn On Safe For Streaming Mode

Because a lot of the music in The Sims 4 is licensed, some tracks can’t be played while you're streaming on platforms like Twitch. To avoid being banned, take some time to put your game in Safe For Streaming Mode before you start.

To put your game’s radio into 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:streaming mode, open the Options menu then select Game Options. Next, select Music. At the top of the list of radio stations and songs, you’ll see a checkbox telling you that some songs aren’t safe for streaming. You can toggle off all unsafe songs by checking this box.

Any songs that are safe for streaming will have an 🍎asterisk next to th൲em.
