No "Simish" for The Sims 4. Be able to speak real languages.

I think this is a bad idea. What languages would be chosen? English of course, then what? French and Spanish most likely? Maybe Italian, German, Russian, Chinese and Japanese IF you're lucky. What if you speak Swedish, Dutch, Portuguese, Arabic, Indian, etc etc?? They're not going to make voice recordings for every language. Many people would feel left out.

Not to mention the cost that would go into creating vocalizations for the languages involved, which is why I say there would be three most likely and maybe the additional five if very lucky.

Besides, Simlish is fun. It's a language that no one really knows what exactly what is being said but you can be intuitive based on the game itself. You could argue that this is what people whos languages are not being represented do, but that kind of takes away from the point of "being able to speak real languages."

Imagine: Hear the Sims speak Real Languages!!!! JUST NOT YOURS. :? Great selling line.

I agree!

Hehe, When you mention it, it has already happened. I am Norwegian, and some other Norwegians have long complained that they did not translate the names of sim in TS3. In TS2 ready-made sim (Like Darren Dreamer) had a Norwegian name but on TS3 him just has the English name.
