What Kind of Music Do You Listen To...

What Kind of Music Do You Listen To while playing sims, such as like the music files on your computer you play while playing Sims 3


Also what is your favorite music genre in the game? I'm quite fond of French personally ;) lol But mostly I listen to my own.

    Well my Sims are rocking out to Anaconda right now. I mostly play custom music, but I like pop, especially Da Linnip.

    I don't listen to anything in the game at all, so I wouldn't be able to pick a favourite genre from the game. I listen to just about everything though, sometimes I crank up the radio and listen to that, some times I just pick some random songs on youtube (used to be in the library on my computer but I have nothing added to this one), I even have a youtube playlist now which is what I most commonly use that's like 80 songs or something long all different genres and artists. I do mostly listen to country or dance/electronic music though, and very little modern pop. Oh and the oldies, I like to crank up the oldies station a lot.

    Grew up with oldies so I love them. I also love disco, alternative, and mostly listen to pop now days :3

    NPR wdet.org/listenlive/ or Pandora are usually going in the background as i do not have a television in this room. When i did have a television by the computer it would be set to TCM or AMC or TheArts. I do better at a task with background going, I know some people need silence...I am not one of these people. Silence and I end up with Poisoning Pigeons in the Park by Tom Lehrer playing in my head.

    I usually have the custom music on while playing.

    I mainly listen to new wave, glam rock, synthpop and some electronic (but it has to have some lyrics, dubstep and that kind of stuff gives me a headache) and sometimes finnish rock (from 80s-90s) and schlagers.

    thanks for sparking that, Hansku, i neglected to mention what was on Pandora...here's a smattering of the stations:
    Jill Tracy, Boston Pops, Happy, Epica, Allan Sherman, Garbage, The Killers, Imagine Dragons, John Mulaney, The Civil Wars, Sea Wolf, John Denver, The Be Good Tonyas, Bluegrass, Motown, Eddie Izzard, Fats Waller, Big Band, Flogging Molly, David Byrne & St Vincent, Pink, The Hush Sound, Muse, Mika, Tool, The East Village Opera Company, Lindsey Stirling, Carly Simon

    i usually have it on shuffle. i too prefer lyrics and find that the repetitive nature of genres like jazz tend to irritate rather than relax me. i have not noticed that the music makes any difference to my gameplay.

    Thanks for the list, there are few artists/bands on your list that I haven't heard of and I think I'll check them & some that I've totally forgotten. I also like indie and alternative in general.
    I've heard that this "Pandora" is pretty good, but it's not available in my country.

    I mute my game and play my regular music collection through VLC Media Player instead. :P

    I mostly listen to metal, rock, and post-rock.

    That's a shame. I'm listening to Pandora right now ^.^

    I listen to the music on the in game radio. Either the Indie station or the Electronica station. Those two are a tie for my favorite. I like the Geek Rock station, but I wish there it had more songs.

    Sim radio channels? : Dark Wave, Pop, Songwriter, Island music or whatever it is called
    IRL: Mostly late 70's through early 90s rock and pop.

    Pop music. Right now, Ariana Grande is my favorite singer, so usually one of her songs while I'm playing.

    I do not listen to anything while I play, I like to hear my sims. And I always end up selling the radios because all they will do is dance all day..lol

    I use the "Custom Music" quite abit. I usually just mix the the genre contry, oldies, rock-n-roll, ect. so my sim can enjoy the various types. I also try to keep the songs under 4 minutes, so my sim (and I) can enjoy the songs. As my sim cooks, eats, and washes the plates (for example) while listening to one of the songs. :^)

    I don't listen to music when playing, I'd rather hear all the random noises in my game. I don't listen to the radio stations in game either

    I usually listen to whatever is on my mp3 player but there are times when I don't listen to anything but the sound of my fan (not the pc fan, lol). Sometimes I will turn on the speaker and listen to whatever my Sims are listening to at the moment.

    I use custom music a lot - I love having my music in-game like that! But mostly alternative or '80s or just whatever I happen to like at the moment!

    On the sims I normally have them listen to beach party pop or geek rock unless my sim is pregnant and in trying to have multiple births
    Basically every sim house has a stereo but I used headphones so people don't think I'm weird blaring out music in simmilish
