Dec 18, 2014 1:40 PM in response to D3xterby Ralph Johns (UK),Hi,
It is not going to be easy if it can be managed in the Yosemite version at all.
As a note this is where the other sounds are kept
In the Applications Folder right click the app and choose "Show Package Contents" then navigate through Contents to Resources.
The Messages Received item here is the one the App used to play.
In Yosemite the sounds are stored in
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ToneLibrary.framework/Versions/A/Resources.
There is an Alerts Folder and a Ringtone folder in here
The files are .caf sound files
This folder is on the System side of things and not in a place you can use to add a Alias to the ~/Library/Sounds folder.
I have tried adding non .caf files to this area and they don't appear in the list when viewed from the Messages > Preferences > General section.
It is a shame Apple have limited the app in this respect.
The easiest way now would be to create a AppleScript item to play sounds that were stored somewhere else.
You would probably need to Google that or ask in the Using Technologies Community about more details.

ApplicationsHi,
Are we talking about the AppleScript method I suggested ?
There also appeared to be poor support fro AppleScript in Messages in Yosemite.
