Can you add video clips from your shared folder to the Sims 2 to play on a sims2 tv?

Hi,

I’ve started playing the sims 2 and I have a few video clips in my shared folder that I’d like to watch on a television on the sims 2. I’ve heard you can do this and I have already managed to add my own mp3′s to the sims 2 radio stations. How do you add your own video clips?

There is a way to do this. These are directions on how. Just a note, this is a direct quote from gamefaqs.com. I have not tried this yet.

"Use your own videos for the TV
It’s possible to watch your own videos on the Sim-TV. You must put the video you want into My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Movies\Broadcast (the TV sender you want). If you then turn on the TV in the game you can watch it! The video must be .avi-clips and the clips shouldn’t be larger then 128×128 pixel also it shouldn’t have more then 15 frames per second. "

Hope that helps.
