LCMySimsSoundPackMod

COMPANY-MANDATED MESSAGE:

Attention, employees.

Recently, one of our interns seems to have replaced all of our cassettes for the Boombox item with music from a computer game franchise called 'MySims'. The Company chooses to disclose this as an untimely April Fools joke, but this does mean that all boomboxes now play music from these games, so please keep this in mind upon your inevitable purchase.

The intern in question defended himself merely by saying these songs were, quote, "child-hood classics". But rest assured that the perpetrator has been put through our disciplinary process on immediate notice. On an unrelated note, we have also been receiving prank calls as of late.

That is all for this message. We hope you stay a great asset to the Company.

The Mod

Introduction:

Ever heard of that Wii and DS spin-off of The Sims called MySims? This mod brings back a heaping helping dose of nostalgia for anyone who has, by adding a ton of songs from the games to the boombox!

Every game is represented, and there is a wide variety of musical genres included, so don't be afraid to listen to some jams, some jazz, or some jar-dropping spooks the next time you venture deep into the facility.

Have a preference?

• Only nostalgic for some of the games? Or have any special Interests? Well, you can filter for songs from specific games or genres!
  • Run the game once with the mod installed.
  • In the Thunderstore Mod Manager, click on Edit config on the left side of the screen.
  • Look for LCMySimsSoundPackMod.cfg and click the Edit Config button.
  • Scroll to Customization, read the descriptions, and fill in your preference for game or genre in the selection space.
  • Save the file and run the game again.
  • Enjoy!

Creation:

• Uses Harmony to patch over the original game's code and load the songs upon starting the game.
  • Also means that no other mods are required, and people without mods can still join the same lobby!
• A large mod, my apologies. It will likely take a bit to download and boot up your game, but it doesn't cost extra performance during gameplay.

Credits:

• The MySims franchise is (unfortunately) made by Electronic Arts, with various composers working on the games' soundtracks. Can be found in video descriptions in the channel below.
• All music downloaded from the YouTube channel MusicalOtter:

• And thank you for checking out or even downloading this mod!
