Language on clothing.

It's not a big deal, but why do we keep getting items with english writing? Why isn't it in simlish? First it was the It's On Us shirts, now the Moschino collab. Those are the ones I know of, not sure if there are build/buy items too.

I honestly don't like to complain, and usually don't, but for some reason this just annoys me, lol. Simlish is one of those details that make the Sims games so charming. There's now even an asian equivalent to simlish thanks to the Chinese New Year items, which I love and I truly appreciate that work and attention to detail.

I guess the actual reason these items are in english is for promotion, but it kinda saps some of the charm and continuity from the game. I know not everyone will agree, but imo they're out of place.

edit: english and italian. that doesn't make a difference, lol. point is still the same. any real world language.
  • nothing is wrong with the english language on clothes i even think sims should speak in english or french in my opinion
  • I wish it was in Simlish too. If someone uploads a fix for it, I will probably end up getting that. I did the same thing for the "It's On Us" shirt.
  • I am not too bothered about the clothing (yet) since I will probably never use it anyways :D (I hope no random townies will pop up wearing that). I just hope the songs will always be in simlish. I almost never listen to music in Sims 4 but I still remember some of my favourite songs from TS2.
  • am not bother by it either we have a shirt from the base game "it's on us" plain English not a big deal if new shirts if in English my sims ain't going care nor should I.

    Some of us don't really like having real life logos in The Sims in the first place. Especially not if the logo has written Latin script in it. Some of us like to play it as an escape from reality.

    I got the Simlish override now, as well as a bunch of blank versions of the hoodie. Pretty sure I'll be using the blank recolors more.
  • Why not just make promotional items optional?! I don't understand why they force it into everyone's games.

    For those who would prefer the shirt in simlish, there is a small override mod that does just that:

    Great! I hate english (or other really languages) in game... Simlish forever!


    Same here. ?
  • I don’t like it either, especially the moschino logos. I’ve been looking for cc that removes the moschino logo from the tops. No luck so far. I found cc that removes the baby Ariel heart from tops soon after GF came out.
