What things have you NEVER done

[Tina ☺]

Noooooooo!!!!!!

[maegnas]

I am sad when my sims die So sad sometimes they use the green liquid. And I found a hack so they have a longer adult life

[Tina ☺]

Makes me sad too Mae. *sniff* That's why I hardly ever let any of them die...lol

Oh, NOW I remember what I was going to say I've never done:

I've never made one of those custom radio stations that came with BV, I think? I've been meaning to try it, but just never have.

[maegnas]

what did you say? you can make a custom radio station? what the heck is that?? never heard about that before just now!

[Tina ☺]

Yea.. the option came with Bon Voyage, I think. If you go into the music section of your options, you can put different songs from the stations together into one, give it a name, and it becomes a custom radio station.

I have put my own music into the game so I don't have to listen to all those silly simlish songs anymore...lol So it would be sort of cool to put a bunch of my favorites together in one place, but I have just never tried it yet.

Here's a pic:



Just click where the red circle is and a box open up for you to choose different songs from differen genres to put together for a station.

[maegnas]

what?? wow I will have my own good music instead of the old boring one!!!! thanks a lot!!!!

[Tina ☺]

Well, you actually have put your own music into the music folders in order to hear your own. I use the mp3 format. I think it may accept another format too, but if so, I can't remember what that is.

You can just copy and paste your own mp3s from the music folder on your computer into the different genres in your sims music folder and voila! you have your own tunes. It's GREAT! I've been listening to my own stuff that way for several years now.

Without doing that, you'll just have the choices that are already in the game.

hey that's awesome I knew how to do it with the sims 1 but didn't know you could do it with that one! going to do that right away! wow real nice songs for a change

[Tina ☺]

Hey, you're welcome! After having my own music in the game for so long, I could never go back to listening to those crazy simlish songs. Although there were a couple of them I though were pretty catchy...lol

[maegnas]

yeah some are catchy and I like them (I heard one in CSI NY once and I was like Hey I heard it earlier in my sims game hehe the song is in nightlife I think and there is no lyrics) anyway now all the music I had in my comp (not all only the bests) are in the game. later I'll put more!! can't wait to try that

[Tina ☺]

To me it makes the game a lot more pleasant. It adds a nice atmosphere! ;D

[maegnas]

yes it does I rarely use the radio because songs bug me but now I will yeah! (usually I put a cd in my dvd player and listen to it while playing hehe won't have to do that anymore)

[Tina ☺]

My daughter does that too sometimes while playing even though she has her own songs in there. I asked why and she says because she's tired of hearing the same ones...lol I told her to change the radio station!

Of course if you spend a lot of time in buy/build mode, you tend to hear them over and over again.

[maegnas]

yes I spend a lot of time there and I get so tired I turn the sound off hehe now I won't have to anymore

[Tina ☺]

Yea, you will find it's so much nicer to hear your music. I love it!
