"Sim Broadway" is arguably the most iconic song from SimCity 3000, but it is weirdly absent from Unlimited. This guide will show you how to add "Sim Broadway" and "Concrete Jungle" back into the game. It will also show you how to add new tracks into the game for your enjoyment.

Bring on the jazz!

Kudos to u/pinkocatgirl on the SimCity subreddit for the original write-up.

Download the zip file here.[mega.nz]

Navigate to the game's installation directory (for the Steam version:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\SimCity 3000 Unlimited)

From there, navigate to Apps -> Res -> Sound


Replace the AUDIO.INI file in that folder with the one included in this zip.

Then open the MUSIC folder, and copy 3KG2.XA into the folder. This is the actual audio track.



The song will now autoplay like normal and appear in the track listing under the options panel in-game.

"Concrete Jungle" is another song from the original SimCity 3000 that was also omitted from Unlimited, but unlike "Sim Broadway" you don't have to add any files to return it to the soundtrack.

Open the AUDIO.INI file Apps -> Res -> Sound in the game's installation directory.

Scroll down until you find the [Music] section that looks like this:


You will see that the "Concrete Jungle" line is commented out by semi-colon:


Simply delete the semi-colon in front of the line.


The song will now appear in-game.

"Concrete Jungle" and "City Lights" share the same index (0x0a) for some reason, as does "Sim Broadway" and "City of Dreams" (0x01). If you don't change the index values for those songs, they won't be played.

In the [Music] section within AUDIO.INI, find the lines for "City Lights" and "City of Dreams".


Just change the "0x0a" and "0x01" to "0x13" and "0x14" respectively. So it now looks like:

New songs can be added to the game by adding tracks to the "MUSIC" folder and adding corresponding lines for them in "AUDIO.INI". You will need Audacity[www.audacityteam.org] to convert your tracks to .WAV format and set the bitrate properly.

Open Audacity and drag your track file into the project.


Set the project rate to "22050 Hz"


Go to File -> Export -> Export as WAV

Give your file a simple name, then export it as "Signed 16-bit PCM"


Drag your new audio file into the "MUSIC" folder.

Open "AUDIO.INI", scroll down to the [Music] section and add a line in this format:


Where "XX" is the track index number (I would start at 15 just to avoid complications as you add more). Replace "Song Name" and "filename" as needed. It should look something like this:



Save and test it out. You should see the new track appear in the options panel in-game, and it will auto play just like any other.

Repeat the process for any more songs you wish to add.

The SimCity 2000 theme is hidden as an easter egg in the "MUSIC" folder. Enabling it is similar to how you already re-enabled "Concrete Jungle".

Just go into "AUDIO.INI" and find it's line under the [Music] section:


At the very end, change the "0,0,0,1" to "0,1,0,1", so it now looks like:


Enjoy the nostalgia.
