where did the TV in the pictures come from? is there somewhere I can download it? or was it added using a photo editing program?

these are so cool
i won't be using them, since they scare the crap out of me (dead air, dead signals & test patterns do that for some reason) but the concept is really neat and the niche definitely exists

This is great *--*
But it is not working, help! If i'm turning the TV on, the screen is black and there are no voices. Can someone help me?

Some graphics card don't work for the Sims' TV and computer screen. Does the normal TV program that comes with the game work for you?

IMPORTANT: These files do NOT go into downloads! Instead, go to My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Movies\Broadcast and then put the choosen clip into every channel where you want it to appear.

I didn't find this text in over there even I read it several time, but I did find it from Garden of Shadows, where this awesome creation is also.

I seem to be having the same problem as @sscc. The default television programs work perfectly fine for me, sound and visuals work perfectly on default but on this it just shows a black screen with no sound. It's a shame, but it looks great! Surely those who can use this will put it to good use

Aww, that's a shame! Unfortunately I don't have much knowledge about graphics and movie formats to know what might be the problem. Ironically I made a wrong choice with my last graphics card and had a black screen for TVs and computers for the last couple years myself.

Yavannah, the detailed install instructions are actually here, too, I just checked. You have to click the third tab (next to the "files" tab) and there it is under point three.

The normal TV program works, yes.

I'm clueless, sorry. As I said, with my current graphics card all TVs and computers are black anyway, so I can't do any testing because I wouldn't know when I fixed the issue.

BTW: If anyone has had any trouble with getting this to work (crashing or only a black/white screen showing), try updating your Sims 2 codecs!

This thread has more instructions (Thanks SimSample!): https://modthesims.info/t/601286
