    Changing the music on Wall Speakers

    Rachael1Rachael1 Posts: 211 New Member
    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    Is there anyway to change the type of music that's playing on wall speakers? I made a Dive Bar and used buydebug to get some of the wall speakers, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to change which station it's on, and classical music, unfortanately, doesn't seem like the right type of music to dance to while on top of counters.

      Hold down the Ctrl and Shift buttons at the same time and click on the wall speaker. You'll get several options and will be able to choose the music you want.

      Rachael1 : Thanks for asking this question. I have been wanting to change my music in the clubs too but I thought it could not be changed at all. lol

      originalsim : Thank you I can now change some of my clubs to custom music.

      :)

      Hi: I could be wrong but I think it's Shift + control. Haven't played in a while but that was the combination I used to designate treasures and stuff in tombs, etc.

      You have to be in buy/build mode to change it. (Remember to click shift + ctrl)

      You don't have to use buydebug either. Speakers are in the Community Lot items, same as the ropes, you change the access on them the same way you change the speakers. FYI

      @Rachel1 all you do is put in a radio, turn it on and then left click and there you will see an option to change the music to what you want as well as the volume, skip, workout, dance and turn on/off as well. @Originalsim sorry but that will only give you the option of object and then to delete

      @bjk607 - That doesn't work for community lot wall speakers which is what these players wanted to work with rather than regular stereos. Hence the modifier-clicks that must be used in Build/Buy Mode. Just to confirm though, you do realize this thread is from nine years ago and is about TS3 and not TS4, correct? :)

      Thanks for looking to help @bjk607. @Igazor is correct though, this is an older thread and TS3 so I'll close it out here. Always a good idea to throw an eye over the timestamps by the opening post/last post to help avoid necroposting. :).
