MORE VOICES: Expanding the vocal catalogue of the sim 4

Oh, gosh yes! I am so tired of the existing voices! I would also love it if there were some different accents to choose from. I know the sims talk Simlish, but they still end up sounding American (I realise that sounds crazy, but you know what I mean).

I would love some lots more accents as long as they aren't of the cartoony stereotype variety. "The Simpsons" TV cartoons have had a problem with that lately. Poor old Apu :( Maybe safer to leave it as it is - unless we can have a SimsGuruGraham type thread vote on them? Then EA can blame any problems on us! >:)

I tend to play with sound off or very low voice level now though!

We kinda have a pirate accent that adds a lot to the simlish... You can se how different the words sound when they are speaking like pirates.
Also, i think that the CAS voice options should match the singing voices variety, and each one should be a different voice actor to make them sound really different form each other.

I have thought this for a long time.My idea was to have male and female voices from various places so that the accents would be preserved in Simlish.

These are the areas I would like to here accents from

1. The South
2. New York
3. China
4. Great Britain
5. France
6. Italy
7. Mexico

The best way to avoid it seeming like they're using stereotypes (like what happened with apu) is if they got people who actually have the accent they're going for to do the sims voice. Like for instance if they wanted a sim that sounds Indian, have someone from India do the voice. I think it would be great if they widened the range, I'm sure they could find a huge variety of diverse people to do sims voices for them.

I'd personally love to have Australian accents for my sims, since I'm from Australia.

I'd love this since all the voice options for female Sims we have sound kinda Valley Girl-ish to me and don't always fit the Sims I'm making. I don't really remember much what male Sim voices sound like since I don't play them much lol, but more options would be nice there too.

I was just thinking about this topic as I played with Journey to Batuu. I agree with @TheEagleWillLand and would love to get different accents in the game, like Rey's and others. It would add some variety to the sims' personalities.

Not sure how to put exactly but I do want I guess less of the same sounding voices since most maxis townies kinda have the same sounding voices and all plus I get exhausted having to pick the same old voices for my own sims too

I mean good god MySims had more than 3 voices they had 6 voices

that's saying something

Oh YES, not only do I agree with the poster of this, but I agree with you on the accent thing! In Sims Medieval the Sims spoke Simlish, but they did it in a British accent, I LOVED IT, and wish they would add British accents especially or Australian too or any UK accents, because I love that in real life too,lol!

I mean I'm American, but I find American accents boring, which is why I watch A LOT of British and Australian shows and movies when ever I can! So I would just love it if they would add new voices, but also add some with accents, so we can have more variety in out games!

I find it sad that people in other countries have to use ones with a American sound, instead of something more like their own accents! But I think we all would like more variety with the accents!

I frankly don't like the males voices at all, they all sound kind of comical, except the first one from the left, which sound too soft, even when you try to make it deep! The other two sounds all scratchy, like a chain smoker or something, but they are also the only ones that can be really deep!

Even with The Sims 3 though the men's voices sounded awful, worse then in The Sims 4 to me! The female voices sound good pretty food mostly, but I still would like more of them, ones with other tones to them! And of course accents!

I wish we could have at least 3 or more if they added accents too! May 3 more in the line of the others, and 6 more with accents! like British, Russian, French, Spanish, and Middle Eastern and one more, I would say Australian, but most would say that's too close to British,lol!

But I doubt we will get accents or more voices, because people wanted that with The Sims 3, and we never got them!

Very much agreed!
