Default WCIF: Custom Instruments
Sadly, I can't get Atavera's custom instrument hack to work. It clashes with too many other hacks.

Does anyone know of any custom instruments other than Atavera's? I already have the flutes from Affinity Sims.

Have you tried argon's hack? I think there are modified Atavera's custom instruments for argon's hack at MATY or somewhere.

I take it you mean musical instruments. Do you know about lidiqnata's harp? Julian's learning to play it. (Somehow a harp suits him.)

Thanks.

Ah thanks. Unfortunately it clashes with the same hacks Atavera's one clashes with. DX

TSM luths here: http://crispsandkerosene.tumblr.com...an-all-original
but I guess you can't use it either (Argon's mod needed).

Thanks all. I caved and went with Argon's hack after all, but I will definitely use these as well. I just had to remove one hack which turned out to be broken anyway and edit another.

Well, since you decided to use Argon's hack:

Here, just to tempt you, is a picture of Julian playing his harp:
He does look sweet, doesn't he? (Andrew certainly thinks so!) As usual, no shirt!

To go from the sublime to the ridiculous, there's a pipe organ (with custom sound!) here. It's really not too ridiculous: it's modular, so you can make it pretty well any size you want. I'd love to have it in St. Simeon's Parish Church in Veronaville, but, unfortunately for me, it needs Bon Voyage.

Did anyone convert any of these to work with Argon's hack?

I use Argon's hack in my game and I have all of those. Will double check for you when I get home.

ETA: Okay so you don't need Argon's hack for the drums and keyboards to work. I tested them with no cc, just to be sure. However, without Argon's hack, the keyboards have no sound when a sim performs either Jazz, Rock, or Country. With Argon's hack, though, performing is fixed and sound plays on both keyboards when a sim performs.

Also, the drums are here as well as in recolors by Honeywell here and neither of them say the hack is required, which is probably why my version worked without it. I will say, though, that performing on the castaway drums is just like practicing--no tip jar.

So how did you get them to work with Argon's hack?

I just put these files in my download folder. It uses a different method to make custom instruments work, which is why I switched to it, and as long as the custom instruments are cloned from the original game instruments, the mod gets the custom one to work. Make sense, I hope?

Yeah, thanks. I didn't realise that the keyboards would work with it without being altered.
