So I was thinking to redo my created Country station which is in original the "Retro" station. I thought to override the "Ranch music" Station (so it is called in my game) instead that came with Horse Ranch. I could use this one, adding my custom .mp3 Country music into that folder and use it as my custom Country music station since it's already set up by game to play country music. All I would need to do is to override the strings to my liking and replace the icons with mine. But it seem to be impossible because of some (maybe) missing/unmatching icons data in the HTML icon list. Does the icon list needs an update maybe or why can't I find the matching/corresponding icons? Or did EA just messed up? There are no dislike and like icons found like we have for the other stations. Even in game, when the sim is listening to the Ranch station, there are no likes or dislikes balloons popping up. Only the headline icon shows up but as a regular music note icon. The same thing goes for the "Soul Radio" station. It's called "Soul Music Station" in my CAS with a jukebox icon but the only matching jukebox icons I found are called Oldies" - there is no Oldie Station in my game. All a bit confusing with those stations and unmatching/missing icons. There should be 2 80x74 flyaway like and dislike icons with the green and red circle around them, one 128x128 headline icon and a 64x64 traits icon. 4 important icons to get the intended results.
It would be nice if you could look into it when the time is convenient. Thanks.

Searching for Ranch music or Country music made no difference, same result
seariching for Soul music or Oldies same results.

Hi S4Player , The names like soul/oldies, ranch/country, etc. seem like inconsistencies in the image file names. EA may have made some of the icons with one name, but didn't rename them when the in-game name got finalized. It makes it harder to find things from the icon page. Maybe I can add the name of the file where the icon was found to make things easier to find when this happens. The most accurate source of which icons are used for a specific part of the game is the tuning. The Ranch music style looks like it just wasn't created with as much detail as the other styles. It not only uses the generic music notes, but also uses generic flyaway icons. If you want to fix this, you will need to add new renumbered images and update the reference in the tuning as an override. Replacing the icons without renumbering and updating the tuning would cause it to show your new icon everywhere that a generic icon is used. In addition, it looks like EA copied some tuning from the Alternative music when creating the tuning that adds the Ranch headline and did not change all of the references from Alternative to Ranch, which is probably why it doesn't show the headline while they are listening to it. | Ranch | Pop |  |  |

thank you very much for taking the time to look into this. Yes, I figured that EA simply hasn't changed some things. And I also noticed this with the generic music notes and the generic flyaway icons as I came acorss them on my search, and the "alternative" issue. Because of all the confusion is why I haven't touched these radio stations. I'll just leave them as they are, it's really not worth all the stress. But again, thank you very much for taking a deeper look into this. At least it shows that I wasn't just to "stupid" to find things  |
