Something that has been bugging me since Eco Lifestyle came out now 5 years ago, was a piece of the Build Buy music that was... quiet...

You see, if you play with music off, you can ignore this post, but if you're like me who's obsessed with music of The Sims or just wants something to listen to, etc, you must have definitetly noticed that after a certain soundtrack from Eco Lifestyle in Build Buy was over (the one linked above), the music became quiet for some time, that's because that piece of soundtrack goes on with an almost 4 minutes silent track, which would lead the game to continue to play that soundtrack even though there was nothing but silence! I've been so pissed at that soundtrack ever since Eco Lifestyle came out and everytime that specific music comes on and the facts that it hasn't been fixed yet makes me angry... until now (sort of), I've finally fixed it!
I hope this will come in handy for so many and to maybe lead to eventually an official fix for this soundtrack! Hope you'll enjoy this

I've tested it in game, both Channel 0/1 (roof category) and Channel 6/7 (fridge category) and it works fine and as intended.

Installation
Install by first unzip the file then drop the package file into your Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 4>Mods folder

Conflicts
It will only conflict if something else edits that one soundtrack and it won't work together with others creations!

How did you do it?
I'll leave a tutorial down below if anyone wants to, for example, make music overrides and make them like The Sims 4 does with soundtracks and categories. Or maybe for those who are curious to know how this package file works.

Tutorial: I used The Sims 4 Sound Tool to extract the sample(s), edited them through an soundtool software, I made every track exact same long! Then export them as mp3-files, one by one, I named each one "Channel X" by X I mean the number of the Channel from 0-7. I don't know IF you need to name them like that but that's what I did anyway.
Create a new package by selecting "Clone" in The Sims 4 Sound Tool, save it somewhere, then delete everything in that list. When importing, select all mp3-files AT ONCE, it will then ask "Want to merge?" hit yes then save and exit The Sims 4 Sound Tool.
Open the package file in S4PE to override the Instance (it might work with The Sims 4 Studio aswell but I did it this way) with the original one, which was this number for this soundtrack: 0xC395A399C9DD0E42
DON'T USE THIS INSTANCE WHEN MAKING MUSIC, THIS WAS FOR THIS SPECIFIC SOUNDTRACK I FIXED!
Save the file, exit out of S4PE, then drop the file into your Mods folder and then you're done
