The sound of TV but no TV there
« on: January 25, 2015, 04:39:57 AM »
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping somebody else has encountered this issue and can offer a solution short of demolishing half my house.
Whenever I move the camera over one section of the living room of my house I get the sounds as though a TV is turned on but I have no TV there. There's a TV at the opposite end of the room but its a big room and even when I turn the actual TV off the sound continues. Its been going on for a while now and its really starting to irritate me.
My first guess was that it might be connected to a particular object but I've moved or replaced all the furniture in the area, the only things left that haven't been changed are structural things like the fireplace, walls and doors.
Thanks

I had this happen once, and it turned out not to be on my lot at all.  I have no clue what type of lot you are playing, but in my case, it was a "city" style area (I can't remember what town).  The house was built within a square or two of the edge, and the house next door was also built close to the edge of the lot with the lots against each other.  I spent a great deal of time trying to figure out where the TV sound was coming from.  I finally figured out that the TV was in the neighbor's house!  It was in the room next to the room where I would hear it, and apparently the windows allows the sound to travel.  I edited the other lot, deleted the TV, and the sound issue on my own lot went away.  I don't know if you are in a similar situation, but it's something to consider before destroying everything (I was ready to do that, too).  Good luck!

Steellace is probably right.  I also had similar problem with a radio.  I kept hearing a radio and my sims kept going outside and dancing in the yard, which I thought rather strange.  It was getting rather annoying, so when I was in build mode, I panned out some and found a radio suspended in mid air, above where my sims went to dance, lol.  I deleted it and everything was fine.  Strange things happen in the world of sims.  Hope you find the problem.
