A downloadable asset pack

This is music I generated using ChatGPT and Suno that I believe sound like Simlish, although not being EA or Maxis and I can't claim that they're "authentically" Simlish. I made this music with the goal of offering streamers and YouTubers music to use in their games (and therefore in their content) with a decent shot of not getting copyright claims. Is it possible that content ID could still decide one of these sounds too close to... something? Sure. Is the chance a hell of a lot lower than EA's Simlish covers? Yup.

TL;DR: use at your own risk, but if it works out for ya, I'm happy.

For each radio station I've touched thus far, I've made a song in place of one flagged by EA as not copyright safe. I'll do more radio stations as I have interest in doing them, and potentially, if/when more are requested.

Also, you can just drop these into your game for more Simlish sounding radio even if you're not using the game to make content.

Install instructions

Each ZIP file listed is one radio station in game. The folders inside of them should be placed as-is inside your Sims 4 Custom Music folder. To get to that folder, follow these steps:

  1. launch File Explorer
  2. click or tap in the address bar
  3. enter:
    %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Custom Music
  4. press the return key

Important: If you intend to use this for streaming or uploading content, you'll need to turn off the game's protection against playing copyright unsafe music in-game because only EA can deem a song safe in that way. Instead, you'll have to laboriously go through each radio station and uncheck the box next to songs that you don't want to be played. Sorry about that.

My goodness, this is absolutely mind blowing! I downloaded and listened to Hip Hop folder, the songs in there are absolute bops (especially in love with Dai Sha Loo). Im wondering if expanding it further and making a mod with singers/concerts/record labels/song recording and so on would be possible?

To quote T'Pol of the USS Enterprise, "With proper discipline, anything is possible." But if by possible you mean probable and by me, I'm afraid the answer is no. A great many creators out there have made custom content adjacent to what you're getting at, though. And a few popular YouTubers have shared that they're spotting hints of and strongly endorse the introduction of a Maxis-made bands DLC in some form or another. With 90's and 2000's Sims nostalgia seemingly in EA's focus at the moment, it's not too hard to imagine them choosing to do such a thing soon. Grassroots music culture was a big deal back then. So, keep dreaming and hold on to hope, I'd say. 😏

Haha! Im gonna keep on dreaming and for now just listen to Dai Sha Loo on reapeat!:P Thanks for everything!
