The Sims (2000) ALL Building Mode Themes 1-6 (SHEET MUSIC)

One of the most famous games of the 2000s, and still likely the most famous social simulation game (alongside Animal Crossing), The Sims released to critical acclaim in the year 2000, and was referred to as "almost the only game of its kind" by many game journalists. It is one of the best-selling PC games of all time with 11.5 million copies sold.
The soundtrack for The Sims was a collaborative effort of composers Jerry Martin, Marc Russo, and John R. Burr. When the "Live" mode is activated (where the actual simulation runs and plays), the player may enter "Build" mode or "Buy" mode to pause time and renovate their house or lot, and some of the most well-known tracks from the soundtrack are played here. The "Build" mode music is all solo piano (performed by co-composer John R. Burr), some tracks being pre-composed by Martin/Russo/Burr, and some being purely improvisation. I’ll link an article about it below if you want to learn more.
Eventually I came across "PseudoMusic" online, and their wonderful sheet music transcriptions of all 6 Build Mode Themes. I thought it would be nice to string them all together here, almost like a 6-movement piano suite. I’ll also link below PseudoMusic’s website, where you can download all these transcriptions for free. Pseudo states on the website about this project:
"Jerry Martin wrote six 'new age' style piano pieces for The Sims, but no sheet music was ever released. On this page are transcriptions I've made over the last few years. Note: Some of these pieces (especially 2 and 5) were improvised more than others, so the rhythmic notation is a bit 'approximate' in places!"
