Adding Music?

[Peanuts61]

Hello all!

can you help me to add my own music to the sims 4? I don't seem to have a custom music folder so I was going to use the pop or alternative folder, but I have NO way of copying and pasting my music in because the game is loaded in full screen. is there a way to minimize my screen so in can the copy and paste?  thanks!

There is now a Custom Music folder in the Sims 4 folder that is created by default.
C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Custom Music

Here's a how-to add music to Sims 4 from the Wikia site:

I may not be able to troubleshoot any problems, as I've never tried adding music to the game.

To change the Display type, in game go to  to Options > Game Options > Graphics look for Display type and in the drop down window, you can choose between Fullscreen Windowed Fullscreen and Windowed.

Playing in Windowed Fullscreen or Windowed mode will allow you to minimize the screen easier when you need to.

This may be slightly confusing. I created a new Sims 4 folder to test, as I didn't see a Custom Music folder in my current folder.

You may need to create the custom music folder within the Sims 4 folder. As there doesn't appear to be one by default when creating a new one.

Please be aware that if you do create a custom music folder, the music may or may not work due to the Sims 4 folder not having a custom music folder by default.

I wasn't able to find much on adding music to the game, but did find some information on the Wiki site.

Mrs. Flynn I did all the steps you mentioned and it is still not able to be done but I am not really concerned that much about it. just thought that it could be done because I did it one time before a little while ago. just not able to now. will have to just listen to sims music. not a problem.

i'm back again with the answer to add your custom music to the sims 4. I don't give up so easily  . you go to your documents folder and then electronic arts folder click on that and then there will be a sims 4 folder click that and a custom music folder should be there, choose which station you want to use and this is where you can add your own music! problem solved!

A simpler solution...and I'm sure I am not the only gamer that regularly does this -- go into Options to turn off game music, and just enjoy your iTunes, Spotify playlists...whatever your music program is. It's funny when I am in a carnage mode and playing Diablo III and big band music is in the background!
