Open "Custom Television Channel.package" up in SimPE

Filetype: Object Data
1.) Be sure to change the GUID for each custom channel that you make.



Filetype: Text Lists
Instance 0x00000088
1.) Change ID 0x0 from "tvstation_insimenator" to the name of the channel pointer in Broadcasts.ini

Instance 0x0000012E
1.) Change ID 0x0 from "Change to.../InSIMenator Broadcast Network" to what you want the caption of your new television channel pie menu to be.



Add your "Channel pointer" and your "Directory pointer" to Broadcast.ini located in "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 University\TSData\Res\UserData\Config".

Place your new television channel directory (as defined in "directory pointer" in Broadcast.ini) in your "My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Movies\Broadcast" directory.


NOTE: If you try modifying the [i]Broadcast.ini [/i]file in "My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Config", it will be overwritten to default configuration by the ini located in "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 University\TSData\Res\UserData\Config" and the custom channel will not work correctly.

NOTE 2: I am assuming that if you do not have university installed then you would need to modify the broadcast.ini file located in "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData\Config".
