-
1
Open up your local hard drive.
-
2
Open up the Program Files or Applications folder, then look for the EA GAMES folder and open it. Inside you will find a folder labeled The Sims 2, and possibly some others if you have expansion packs installed.
-
3
Open up whichever folder you like (The basic Sims 2 has the most music) and open up the TSData folder.
-
4
Open up the Res folder, then look for the Sound folder.
-
5
Poke around in the Sound folder. There should be a bunch of .package files. Find the ones you want (for example, Techno.package, Pop.package, Metal.package) and copy them.
-
6
Place them into whichever folder you store your music files.
-
7
Rename the files (For PC, right-click the .package files and select Rename. For Mac, highlight the file name.)
-
8
Change the extensions of the files from .Package to .mp3.
-
9
Your music files should now be playable in an MP3 player program. Enjoy!

Tips & Warnings
Be aware the packages you have just made into music files contain all the music from a particular music station. In order to separate the songs into individual tracks, you will need an MP3 editor. Some free ones can be found online via search engines.

I tried this method as well as any others that I could think of, and still wasn't able to get the music. ]: When I go into the folder you suggested, all the files are there, but they are named without the ".Package" extension. For example, I have "Build" - there's no file extension. If I copy and paste the file elsewhere and then add the ".mp3" extension, it does nothing but add ".mp3" to the end of the file name. I am still left with a .Package file. Any idea how to solve this? :3 -
