Introduction

Sims 3 by Electronic Arts is a life simulation game that allows you to create and control virtual people, or “Sims.” You can customize your Sims in a variety of ways, including choosing their hairstyles, clothing and personalities. One way to further customize your Sims is to add custom music to the game. This article will show you how to do that.

One great thing about The Sims 3 is that you can add custom music to the game to make it even more personal. You can do this by downloading custom music files and placing them in the game’s directory. In this article, we’ll show you how to do just that.

Adding music files to My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Music

If you want to add custom music to The Sims 3, you’ll need to place the appropriate files in the game’s Music folder. This folder is located in your My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 directory.

If you’re not sure how to get to this directory, you can find it by opening the start menu and typing %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 into the search bar. Once you’re in the Music folder, just create a new folder and name it whatever you want. Then, just drag and drop your music files into that folder.

Once your files are in the right place, you’ll need to set them up so that they can be played in the game. To do this, open up the game and go to Options > Game Options > Audio. From here, click on the “Add Music Folder” button and select the folder that you created earlier. Make sure that the “Enable Custom Music” option is checked, and then you should be good to go!
