The music of The Sims 4 changes dynamically depending on the level of detail you are currently focused on in Create A Sim and Build Mode. Each track in these modes has eight levels of intensity. The more detailed your focus, the simpler the track becomes.
You’ll find plenty of music in the game’s Live Mode as well, with the emotion-based gameplay having a significant impact. The small bits of music that accompanied many emotional moments throughout your Sims’ lives in past titles will return two-fold. A number of animations will also include musical scores.
The Sims 4 base game will include five music stations to choose from, including:
- Pop
- Electronica
- Blues
- Romance
The fifth music station was not named, but could very well be for custom tracks.
The score for The Sims 4 was created by English composer Ilan Eshkeri with longtime EA audio engineer Robi Kauker. Musicians such as Emmy the Great, Tim Wheeler, and Andy Burrows are among those that have contributed to the score.
In addition, an exclusive mix of the Build Mode theme will be released tomorrow for free on the official Sims Soundcloud page.
