Hello! :) I downloaded this mod recently and am sorry to say that whenever I try to get my sims to play it, they go up to the harp, a skill bar appears above their head, but they never actually sit down to play and then after a few seconds they stop and walk away. I'm not sure if I am missing a required file, I will double check to see if that is the case. I don't believe I get any BE reports associated with the mod. I would absolutely love to keep this mod in my game. Thank you so much for creating it.

2024-11-04 07:17:35 +0000 UTCHi! hope this isn't a stupid question: do all the files go into my mods folder or do things like the songs files go into a different folder?

2023-04-19 16:35:48 +0000 UTCI have some harp music that I wrote for my bard character in world of Warcraft to play using the Musician addon; how hard is it to add additional tunes to a package for an instrument for Sims 4? I'd love the Sims 4 version of my bard to be able to play his music. :-)
