    ^Title.

    I want to expand my Sims custom music more, and at the same time my music library. Doesn't really help since I'm such EDM trash so that's all my Sims get to listen to. Could you guys give me some music recommendations?

    Very open to all kinds of music so fire away. :D Thanks in advance!
    Keep moving forward.

      I don't really use a lot of custom music in my game, but I'd like to recommend Gackt (jrock/pop artist,) VAMPS ( jrock band,) Black Veil Brides (heavy metal/hard rock) and The Cruxshadows (industrial). I personally love these artists/bands :)

      I like Halestorm, Boyce Avenue, Skillet, Red, Battle Beast, Emilie Autumn, and Hollywood Undead (mostly for Danny, the singer) and also Lindsey Stirling for her great violin skills. LOL isn't it funny that every time someone asks you for music recommendations, your brain goes blank and you have to look at your playlist ;)

      It depends on the mood. I like sexy house music for when I am in a good mood, jazz for rainy days and when I am feeling moody, softer (?) classical for when I want to relax, r&b to shake my tush, everything else when I want to sing.

      I like kpop, reggea, r&b, house, dance, electronic, blues, some hip-hop, hard rock, gospel, soul. I actually like the baroque channel in the game, although in small doses. I have every folder in my game filled with my music.

      Miso, Jeff Bernat, Luna (kpop), Amber (kpop), Boney James, Raheem DeVaughn, Dwele, Erykah Badu, Olu, Martin Luther, DJ Quik, SWV, Mary J Blige, Floetry, Musiq, Prince, Average White Band, Quincy Jones, Switch, Debarge, Jon B., XTC, Tears for Fears, Gorillaz, Calvin Harris, N.E.R.D., Kelis, Kilo Kish.

      If you like EDM, try EBM.
      Personally, I like a bit of aggrotech, stuff like Alien Vampires, Aesthetic Perfection, Psyclon Nine.

      I also like a bit of viking... whatever you want to call it.. music, like Fever Ray and Heilung

      Try some older bands: ELO, Parliament Funkadelic, The Bee Gees, Chicago, Styx, Queen, The Monkeys, Quiet Riot...basically, anything pre-dating 1992. You'll find some interesting stuff back there. :)

      Green Jelly - Three Little Pigs
      Southern Culture On The Skids - Walk Like a Camel.

      Recommended kitty creation mood song to get you started: Space Cats — Magic Fly. Who Let The Dogs Out - for puppy creations.

      Have extensive list of youtube music that I listen to on occasion when not using in game music. Freaking "Up Next" has baited me into going down the rabbit hole exploring music many times.

      if you want to get weird..try Mr. Bungel or Nuclear Rabbit.....i have some other twisted suggestions but i think just naming them would be TOS cuz they are so awful



      oh and try One Eyed Doll..shes got some strange stuff too..especially try "Be my Friend"
    • krimsonnoxkrimsonnox Posts: 6,143 Member
      oh and Dethklok, i see that above , defenitly listen to Mermader at least..and if you want to cream your ears the Doomstar Requiem is one of the best compositions ive ever heard

      I was going to ask what types of music files does the game accept? I actually wanted to know since I was actually thinking about adding custom music myself sometime.
