Synchronize Stereos Option

Hello!

I've been wanting this ever since the sims 4 came out. I usually like to place stereos in almost every room when I build a house (especially large ones), but the problem is that sims go to turn on every single one of them, and I end up with this giant mess of multiple sounds and end up having to turn off a lot of them very often.

So why not have an option when clicking on a stereo to "synchronize" it with all the others, so that the same station and song play at exactly the same time across all stereos? It would be like a having a sound system throughout the house that plays the same song, which would be great for parties and other such things.

For instance, when you click on a stereo, it would have a "Synchronize..." button, which would lead to the options "Synchronize this room", "Synchronize this floor", and "Synchronize all" - much like how light settings work when you click on them. I'm not a developer but I feel like maybe this wouldn't be so hard to implement?

Cheers!

    I'd also like the ability to add custom music to the DJ booths and not just the radio stations. :)

    Yes please finally some one gets me I want this too.
    I want this for so long. They should improve more this stuff. I want also to have a personalized music folder like in sims 2 and 3 that could work for the DJ booths.

    Wow glad to see there are many others who want this as well!

    An alternative and perhaps simpler option would be to have it so that any stereos playing the same station are automatically synchronized to each other. So if you have one playing classical, and turn on another to classical, they will automatically be playing the same song at the same time (like a real radio station!). And of course having the option to turn this off if desired.

    YES. Is there maybe a cheat that enables it in the meantime?
    Edit: I have found a solution, although it is not ideal. If you use the venue speakers, which come as Pop venue speakers, Blues venue speakers etc. all speakers of the same genre type will play in sync. Anytime you want to play another genre you will need to replace the speakers with the speakers of the desired genre. Hope this helps! Hopefully the devs will add a proper solution at some point :)

    In Sims 3 there was a speaker you could buy which played whatever your main stereo was playing. Also there was an upgrade available with some units to "wire house with speakers" - I never used it personally, my sims prefer to do "number 2" in peace and quiet! :o

    Or I wish the sims would turn stereos off when they left the room, like with the tv. I find it really annoying having to turn them off manually all the time.

    Yes. Yes. Heck yes. I would love nothing more than to be able to have every stereo in the house on the same station at the same time...and actually playing the same song.
    There is a song I hear, a melody from the past...

    Yes, I agree. It gets annoying after a while.

    oh my gosh yes, I always thought the wall speakers were suppose to amplify the music but nope, they just play different stations.

    In Sims 2 I had to add just one Stereo and place Speakers in all the other rooms. Even outside! The same music played in every room AND outside. Since Sims 4 is supposed to be so much better, how come they left out on such a VERY NEEDFUL & very important feature?! WE NEED THIS BACK!
