Re: Xbox Series X, Add Character Spoken Language English And Others

@xochiquetzl_xkvn

Considering I'm a new player, yes I did not expect it and as posted, I initially thought it was simply a matter of a setting change. In the EA FAQ and descriptions of the different versions (PC/MAC/Consoles), it doesn't state that Simlish is spoken by the game characters, only that the game supports '18 languages', with nothing clarifying 'it's only text in the game, not spoken language by the characters.' I found that to be very confusing, else I wouldn't have felt a need to post here.



After reading more about 'Simlish' and it's creator and why it was used, it's making much more sense to me. Thanks for your opinion and reply.

@DudeX44 you're welcome!🙂  Some of us have been playing the Sims since the first Sims game came out in 2000, so for us it is strange to think of the Sims without Simlish! 😂  However, I can now see how you thought that the game would be in the language you bought the game for.  Older players probably didn't even notice that section of the box or online with that info, so we were scratching our heads trying to figure out why people keep thinking the game voices will be in their language! 😅   So you do bring up an important and valid point!🤨  Thanks for explaining things from a newbie's perspective!  Hopefully for any future versions of the game, it would be stated that only the descriptions and commands will be in the players language and that all voices in the game will be in Simlish! 🤞

Ah so I'm not the only newb thinking the game characters speak in their language then. :D  Thanks for acknowledging it being an important and valid point. No problem on sharing my newb point of view in this situation. I was really scratching my head that day and quite frustrated, so I knew reaching out to other Sim players would get the answer needed. Keeping my fingers crossed that EA will include that bit of info for future players. 🤞

@DudeX44 , glad we could clear up the confusion for you! You will eventually get used to Simlish, and will sometimes catch yourself repeating Simlish lines (and your family will thing you have become nuts unless they also play the game!). 

A few Simlish terms to know:
Chum chum = pizza
Sul sul =hello

Dag dag = goodbye

Nooboo = baby

I have even named my Sims whatever the first thing they have said when I was making them in CAS.  I have one Sim named "Jeanie La Rey" because that is what she first said, as if she was introducing herself to me! 😄 

Also, I read your other post directed to @LathyrusLoon , and there is a Metal station in the game, but it comes with the Nifty Knitting Stuff Pack! 😄

Happy Simming! 🥳
