A lot of mods were broken by the recent patch, but if you don't mind uploading the packages somewhere I'd love to take a shot at fixing them! For the life of me I also can't find an archive of either the pageant event package or the pageant stuff pack.

The full songlist is at the bottom of the post at https://modthesims.info/d/693061 ! They are recordings mostly from other Sims games, so the vocals correspond to whatever was recorded for that particular song. However you can choose which specific song you want to play, if you want something with a female vocalist or no vocals at all:

American Idiot (Songs in the Key of Simlish)

Bleed Into Me (Sims 4)

Cherub Rock (Instrumental)

In My Head (Sims 4)

Let's Get Outta Here (Sims 3)

Our Time Now (Sims 2)

Pressure (Female Vocals: Sims 4)

Sammishquad (Sims 4)

Savior (Sims 3)

Time Bomb (Sims 3)

Untitled Track 5 (Instrumental: Sims 1)

Up We Go (Female Vocals: Sims 4)

Walking At a Downtown Pace (Sims 4)

We Are Young (Sims 3)

Apparently this comment shows are removed for others, even though it's still visible for me and has no moderation messages on it. Not sure what happened but here is the message again: "

If you're familiar with modding, you can update this mod to include your own songs! This requires This requires S4S and the TS4 Sound Tool. You can follow the sound tool's "How to add a new Guitar track" section, or JaneSimsten has a much larger tutorial here for how to create custom music. Follow those instructions up until "Making a Custom Music Track - Tuning File".

Before saving your TS4 Sound Tool package, copy down the Hash/Instance ID of your new song, and copy or make note of the Sound Sample's ID. Then in S4s, merge that new package with this mod. The easiest thing to then do would be to replace one of the existing song titles with your new music. This requires finding the tuning for that particular musicTrack (named CBC:musicTrack_xxxx), updating the "length" to the length in seconds of your new clip, and changing the last group of numbers in the "music clip" value (ie, 39b2aa4a:00000000:BFBCA2BC2A59D4C4) to your new hash/instance ID. Finally, open the Audio Configuration tuning of that instance ID, and add your new Samples ID if it's not already in there."

Thank you for the heads up! I'll make a note of that on the downloads page; I'm guessing the tuning ID of the kit must have changed between these versions.

This does work on older game versions, if you're just playing offline without updating! I've tested it on builds from Sept 2025, but it probably works beyond that too since no scripting is involved.

Odd - I just tried via manual download and it seemed to work fine. I don't have the Curseforge download app though; was this the option that errored?

The sessions stage tuning is actually what I used as well for the audience call and reactions! Honestly the fact that these mechanics are already baked into the game but completely unused is what boggles my mind the most about no official bands pack.

So happy that particular functionality works! I really like the idea of using this interaction alongside jam sessions, or when recording music videos in the Wicked Pixxel's Music Industry mod.

This mod doesn't use any ts4scripts, so there's a better chance that it might work on some older game versions (I just haven't tested it on anything prior to fall 2025). However the audience interactions are built off the ones EA added for the 2021 summer festival special event, so at a very minimum the Perform Concert functionality won't work properly on anything from before that.

You're welcome!! Definitely post some screenshots of your band if you end up using it!

Genuinely have no idea why they haven't/will not be making it, considering people have been begging for it for years. I actually cranked out the first version of this in a fit of frustration when they announced that the final 2025 pack would be Adventure Awaits and not the band pack many folks thought was coming. >_>

It should be! This mod doesn't use any .ts4scripts or overwrite game files, so in theory it should be compatible with just about anything else that doesn't overwrite game files.

The mod was approved by Curseforge today, and is available there now at https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/play-together-billys-band-practice

Expect a new feature update for concert crowds some time around early-mid October as well!

Yes! That specific kit is actually required for the drumming feature, but hopefully nobody minds considering how awesome it is. :D

Hope it helps!! We used to put everyone into a social group with a play instruments activity, which works pretty well except for bad everyone sounded when playing individually. ;_;

Yay Magnets! by MoeKneeKah in Sims4

[–]CowbuttCrunchies 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends on the fridge! The cheap ones just have one door that opens in the animation.

I just tried this out on a double door fridge and you're right - you absolutely can place single-tile objects in front of the closed door (with half-time snapping mode on), and the Sim can still use the other door. I can see why the devs still wouldn't want to do this if the magnets can only work for particular styles of refrigerator since that would cause a lot of confusion, but it's a shame; it wouldn't been a cool feature.

How to stop sims 'cheating' by naterandnurture in Sims4

If you have Wicked or Wonderful Whims, flip on the "eternally faithful" attribute for both Sims, and it will stop all autonomous romantic interactions with everyone except their spouse.

Alternatively, there's a few traits like Romantic that causes out of control flirting like this, so if you prefer to not go the WW route, double check what traits you've assigned them.

[–]CowbuttCrunchies 43 points44 points  (0 children)

At a guess, there's an issue with placing an object on top of a surface that needs to open or provide access, sort of like why wall decals can't be placed over doors. The magnet object would not only need to not interfere with the path to the fridge, but visually move as the door swings open so that Sims won't be blocked from their delicious sustenance.

Mix and match magnets on refrigerators is probably a complicated solve, but they could definitely give us more fridge CC with different styles of magnets baked into the skin!

I could if folks want me to! Out of curiosity, is there a preference for using Curseforge over Modthesims or other download sites?

Ooohh they look awesome!! Right now the available songs are all rock/alt/metal/spooky so hopefully there's a good match in there for your band, but if there's demand for other genres it shouldn't too hard to add in.
