I think you've definitley made some progress with this. However, I have an .AVI file. (the video i want to put in the game) How do I get it into a video file that i can put in the code you gave us

Alright, here's a quick guide to adding a channel. Since invidicated was able to do it, I found out how.

Open up the LATEST version of S3PE.
Open up the GameplayData.package
Arrange by name and look for TV.
Import this file into a new .package file of your choice.
Get to the editing screen and look for this code (should be at the top. Seems EA made it easy for us on making our own channel!)



Basically, you just copy and paste this and add this AFTER the VERY LAST TV Channel, or you could try anywhere in between the <TVChannel>'s coding. Don't forget to give it a name as well. You really should place it at the bottom so nothing conflicts. Here's my example.



Note: I'm not sure what happens if you don't set the Channel_Level as Level1, but it's like that for every channel, so do it. I'm not sure what happens, unless someone is willing to take a chance and break their game, so just set it as Level1.


I think I got everything. Is this correct? Did not get to test it out yet. Just my theory on how you did it.

In order to get your channel to say what you want it to, use the STBL Editor. Not too sure though, just putting in what jadaytime said.

How would you change the channel name? I searched TV in the STBL editor, but found nothing...

No, you cannot request things anywhere on MTS and particularly not here... this forum is for makers, not users. If you want to find out if there's something somebody else has done, try WCIF under Help.

Does anyone know how to get the VP6 codec to show up in VirtualDub? The 'Video>Compression' menu will not show it.

There is a utility called Codec Tweak Tool which I used once to get VP6 installed, and then VirtualDub would show it, instead of only the VP7 codec which it wanted to use. This utility can be found in the K-Lite Codec Pack if you don't have it or can't find it.

Thanks, the Profile now shows up in VirtualDub.

Now I just need to figure out why VP6Converter005 won't allow me to use the file... is there something special you have to do to make it compatible?

Sorry for the bump, but for some reason monitors ingame show a black screen whenever I try to load up a VP6 file I converted. After that the game hangs with a black screen. I followed all the instructions to a T, but still the video clips won't play!

EDIT: NVM, scratch that. Just found out that the raw audio files should be just as long as the video clips to be converted.
EDIT2: Managed to load the custom Seasons weather site ingame successfully, but edited basegame clips crash the game on loop. Any ideas on that issue?
EDIT3: I tried changing the audio format for the videos, but to no avail - the game still crashes when the video loops. Which is strange as the weather clip works well, yet both the offending VP6 and the seemingly-working clip were encoded using the same settings! I'm pulling my hair over this one as I couldn't determine why this is happening.

Just thought I'd share this bit of information for those who are finding their STBL's broken after installing Into The Future. It seems EA has added HD to the STBL string so if you channel used to be Gameplay/Excel/TV/TVChannel:MyTVChannel and it now shows up as blank. Try putting Gameplay/Excel/TV/TVChannel:MyTVChannelHD as the untranslated string.

Correcting myself here. Seems I was mistaken, it wasn't specifically a Into The Future problem that was the cause of my STBLs being blank. It was actually the fact that I hadn't used the HDTV before. Seems there's now two lines you need to add in order for your STBLs to work correctly. The first is Gameplay/Excel/TV/TVChannel:MyTVChannel for the lower level TVs and Gameplay/Excel/TV/TVChannel:MyTVChannelHD in order for it to show up on higher level TVs. You can either make them say the same thing for both or you can do what EA has done and make the second "My TV Channel in HD".

Hey Odistant.

I tried following your guide. but alot of what you explain is diffrent from what's displayed in the programs. For example, you say "go into S3PE and create a new resource using
Resource>New"

There are no "New" option under Resource, and alot is diffrent so the guide is abit confusing. There seems like there are certain things you expect us to know already, but this is not true. Can you make a new guide which have even more babysteps with more screenshots. For example. "Now at the very bottom of S3PE, under External:, select “Edit STBL”. " I can't find any External, neither can I find edit STBL.

Can you please take the time to make a new guide. I really want to put custom videos into the game, and you know how. The problem is I just can't understand your logic the way some of the software tools are now. i'm pretty sure i'm not using the version of s3pne as you did when you first created the guy.
Please help us out.

I think most of us understand that making a custom TV channel in the Sims 3 is no easy matter. In fact, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! I know there are already hundreds of these threads out there, but still, IF IT WAS IN THE SIMS 2, WHY ISN'T IT IN THIS GAME? In the next update, they need to be able to add a feature that allows players to easily create custom channels on the TV, whether it's a movie made using the Sims 3 movie capture tool, or a video file from a completely different place! I'm going to send some emails out to the developers, and I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE ELSE TO DO THE SAME! If enough people do it, we may have a chance of getting their attention. I know that EA will do this eventually, (They haven't let me down yet) but still, the sooner the better...

Well, I tried this guide and it ALMOST worked for me (with the latest patch). I just couldn't put the sound and the name didn't show up. I'll try again later with another program for the audio codec and I'll see if I made any mistakes with the name thing.
The only part that changed was the editing of the XML file: just put it under the Weather Channel, not the Videogame one.

Still gotta work on the audio though.

Hi, I know there is another thread for this, but whenever I landed on that page, I was logged out ... it's like the sessions didn't work.

Anyway, GREAT tutorial and help here! I managed to get 1 custom channel in with the tittle showing up in the game ... however, I'm having problem putting in the second custom tv channel, it just won't show up.

I followed everything I did previously (my 1st Tv channel that worked) but the 2nd one just won't show up, can you pls help?

Thx
