Extra musics for Simcity

[Terring 6,473]

Hello

Some musics that Simcity has are great, but not all. I would like to know if i could replace some of the default songs or to add extra songs. I like Vangelis and Jean michel Jarre and i am interest to put some of their songs to the Simcity music list. Is this possible?

Thanks for the answers and sorry if my english are terrible. I jope that this topic is at the right sub-forum

yes, it is possible. i copy here a text form the original simcity webpage (from help menu, from the FAQ):

Custom Music

By placing your own music files (MP3's) in the proper directory, you can have custom tunes play while you enjoy the game. The first step is to place the music files in one of two directories. For music to be played while in region mode place your custom tunes here:

C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4\Radio\Stations\Region\Music

And for music to be played while editing your cities:

C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4\Radio\Stations\Mayor\Music

remember you will be much more in the mayor mode, so dont bother yourself with the "region" music folder place your mp3 files into the mayor folder. have fun!

oh and then, in the game, go to the tools icon (in the menu, where you can quit the game or take photos...), and in the sound options, you need to check the "custom music" i think.

It works! Thanks you very much

By the way, is there a limit of how many custom songs you can have?

Edit: I try to drive a car playing a custom song and the game closed! Why?

Second Edit: The above problem was an accident. But i notice something. I notice that Simcity does not plays all the extra songs. Is there a limit of how many extra songs can it handle?

you are welcome

i never use this custom music feature, but i always play music while i am playing simcity, with windows media player, so i never wanted to put music into that mayor folder. i dont think there is limit, but, however, you surely noticed the sc4 never plays all the songs in the original playlist, i think it shuffle them. so if this bothers you, i recommend to play music with another program...

You should be able to.  If you open up the sound options, look for a "Next" button.  If you can't find anything similar, then you're out of luck.

Hey abracadabraz8,

                                      Unfortuanatly, there is no easy method to skip to custom songs in Simcity 4. The only way I can possibly think of to skip custom songs in SC4 is to press the music button on and off until you get the right song you want.
