Simcity 4 comes with some of the most epic tracks, like

and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhsY0uBbgyo, but it's also possible to add new tracks and customise the music player. If you also add custom tracks to the game, feel free to share them with us.

 

Let me start with my custom music. Since my style is eco-futuristic, my music is somewhere between utopian and cyberpunk, where flowers and cyborgs co-exist. Here are a few of the extra tracks I add in my game:

 

 

Tiberian Sun - Dusk Hour

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Suggestions are always welcomed. Don't be shy, share your Simcity 4 music list :)

In other words, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth." - Twilight Sparkle after playing SimCity

    Add a few MP3 songs in the C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Radio\Stations\Mayor\Music folder (it will also works with C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Radio\Stations\Region\Music folder to hear new songs during terraforming), open Simcity, go to the sound options and check the Custom Tunes option on :)

    Pfft! I never use the in-game music player anymore for years. I just run VLC on the background with my entire music library. Not only does it contain SC4 music, but also tunes from SC3K, my own tracks, some general song collections, rock and trance... lots of trance, quite a lot from Armin Van Buuren and the collection CDs from A State Of Trance...
     

    For who wants to know how that music sounds, here's one example of one of Armin's best tracks:

     

    Best,

    Every man to his own taste.  Just over a minute of that was a great plenty for me.

    I love your music suggestions.  I just obtained all of those (above) and already put them in my game today. Thanks!  I'd love to hear more suggestions, especially where the music fits the style and feel of the existing default SC4 tracks!  I added SC5 (2013) to my game this week. (Already have all previous SimCity version music in it.)

     

    Since we are on the topic, there are many ideas in three previous threads here (both have lists & dl links):

    Enjoy~!

    Nice topic! :)

     

    Well, as the Moose said: every man has his own taste... Mine are too wide perhaps, so I listen to everything is audible! :) Generally though during the game I prefer Acid Jazz music: I think it blends well with the... "environment"! :)
