EA Help explained how to add your Custom music into The Sims 4!

Please note that your music file *must* be .mp3!

You can play your own MP3s through the radios in The Sims 4. Copy them into the The Sims 4Custom Music folder that corresponds with your genre of choice and tune your in-game radio to that station to hear your music.

oh thank merciful god! All these bands i’ve never heard of, I won’t have to learn to begrudgely accept them as the “good music” in the sims. At least there’s rock, disco and 80s in the base game, right?

To save on disk space, just create Symbolic links of your MP3s to your music folder.

I use Link Shell Extension:

All my songs (12 Gorillaz songs to be exact) won’t work. I have them in one of the pre set sims 4 stations and I’ve turned up the volume of the radio and to the station, but it won’t work.
