- NPCs will turn on the radio while driving and play their favorite genres! (The chance of this happening is tunable).

- Sims can dance to the music playing from the car radio.

- Beautiful music notes will appear while the radio is playing.

- All text is pulled directly from the game, meaning it's automatically translated into all languages (except for the pie menu).
