Yet another pre-order incentive

witch: Yeah, that was Unleashed.
I've never had any problems with the music, so I can't imagine where you guys are coming from. I mean, every time I play the game, I don't listen to the music and get an uncontrollable urge to slit my wrists or throw myself out of my bedroom window and into the concrete patio below. But if you do, hey, fine.
Where on earth do you get this leap of logic? I don't have uncontrollable urges to kill myself over sims music, I merely dislike it and find it irritating.
Any other drama queens, please don't be afraid to come out of the closet... :-*
Diala:
Hey, what if they offered a patch for University as a preorder incentive? It wouldn't surprise me if they suddenly did that. Disgust me, yes. Surprise me? No.

That's the best they can do for a pre order pack? I have all the maxis music muted and that car ain't all that great. You know people who have sims sites are gonna make better ones anyway.

I have a magic junction point programme, all sims music folders are pointed/directed into one folder which holds whatever I feel like currently listening to.
A what? I shall probably be laughed at (but what the heck), but there's a way to fake out Sims2 to believe the files are actually in the station folders when they aren't?
I've held off putting in too many mp3s simply because I'm forced to duplicate the files, and that annoys me.

Hi Shivani.
If you want to have one folder with all your music files, here's how to do it.
Your file system should be NTFS (Right click on C:Drive in My Computer, choose Properties, near the top of the General Tab it should say 'File System NTFS').
Go to each sims music folder, eg C:\Documents and Settings\witch\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Music\build and delete the settings file so the folder is empty. (If you're concerned make a backup of your music folder first).
Empty each music folder, from build through to techno. These source folders, which will contain 'signposts' to your music, must be empty.
Make yourself a folder to contain the music you want to listen to. It can be on your main drive or another hard drive. It doesn't matter if the second hard drive is NTFS or FAT. I called my folder 'Current'.
You can put mp3's in this Current folder. I don't think you can have sub-folders. I put copies in here and delete when I'm sick of them.
Download Junction Link Magic. Install and run the programme.
1. Start Junction link Magic. The programme will scan your hard drive(s) for any prior link points. When it's finished, click the Create button. You will see a dialogue box with 2 panels, similar to Windows Explorer.
2. On the left hand side, choose the sims music folder you wish to make a junction point in.
eg: C:\Documents and Settings\witch\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Music\hiphop
3. On the right hand side choose your music folder,
eg: C:\H_Stuff\Multimedia\Albums\Current
4. Create your link & say OK when asked if you are really really sure! :P
5. Repeat for each sims music folder - point each one towards your current music folder.
RTFM:
Junction links stay, you can't just delete the folder you made a link in. You MUST go into Junction Link Magic to delete any points you made if you no longer want them. You can run into problems if you don't. This is reallyreally important.
RTFM the RTFM. There is a good brief help included that explains how to use this programme and what the risks are.
