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

No, OMG! NO NO NO!

Can you imagine? "It's time to go to work" or "I think you're hot" or "Some other mundane comment" over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over....

Yep! LOL! And if it was like so, I would definitely be clicking the mute button. :x :-P

I say yes, and more so, EA should poll the question as a forum may not convey the extent of how the rest of the end users feel about it. I'm not saying strip away simlish, but is it feasible, possible to create localized language packs and this higher AI that supposedly is being advanced that those of us who wouldn't checking the option for English (UK or US), French, German, etc etc can have such. Simlish may be a long tradition but does it have to be an exclusionary one. Of all the expansion packs upon expansion packs over the years, and with advancement in the tech, it wouldn't seem to be beyond scope and reason to offer a choice, whether the market would support such is in polling the market . . or more the talents of the creative teams. If it doesn't meet sales margins, oh well, another furniture pack then.

this thread is older than Methuselah and most said no to real language so theres your poll right there .

You posted on this forum four years ago D:

yes, but this begs to question, how did a four year old thread end up in a forum that is less than a year old? Did the mods move any thread that had to do with TS4 over the years here? lol

NOOOO. It'd eat so much of your hard drive space with just language.
Simlish is necessary to save space. And it makes them charming.
Imagine how much space it'd eat up if the game had to be completely translated (not just the menus) into 50+ languages.
And lots of them are set up differently, so take up even more space.

Agree.

Nah.
I agree w/ the simmers above.

It'd be too repetetive, and would get super annoying after hearing the same phrases over and over again.
I think Simlish was a good idea.

Lol! Agree on that.

gurus be trollin us

That would be absolutely boring. It would be like one of those dolls that you pull the string and hear the same few sentences over and over again. I think it's good they speak simlish. It's their own little language. Let's keep it that way.
