Sims 4 & Origin Main Menu Quotes

Hello! :)
I never paid attention to this detail before, but recently I did it. Upon starting Sims 4, on the main menu, on the upper right corner there’s this Quotes, some of them are normal like “You’re here, (UserName)”, and others are super funny like “Banana fofana, (UserName)”
I also noticed similar Quotes appear on the Origin starting page
I think this detail is very cool, some of them are super funny lol :D
Someone else has noticed it?
Down here I will post a compilation I took from my own game
Someone else got different quotes than mine?
Which ones are your favorites?
Someone knows what this “Banana fofana” means? :D


Sims 4:




Origin:




  • I knew about the ones in the game but didn't know Origin did it also. I have my Origin to open My Library instead of My Home. I like this addition though.

    Edit: I haven't gotten any that are different from yours. Also, Banana fofana is from the name game. Basically, you take a person's name and rhyme, it's part of the rhyming.
  • As Sweetie said, the banana fofana is a bit of the lyrics from The Name Game. It's an old silly song that was very common to teach young kids. It was often a silly way for a group of kids to introduce each other... one of those camp or classroom introductions type of things.

    Hauk, Hauk, bo-bauk
    Banana-fana fo-fauk
    Fee-fi-mo-mauk
    Hauk!
  • I love the "NationalPokedex! What a name!" one. And also, "Oh? A wild NationalPokedex." because it just sounds very fitting for a Pokemon inspired name.
    I always check these messages when I open Origin and the game. <3

    "It's all going according to plan, NationalPokedex" is another really good one.

    I got the same ones in my game, well translated to my language of course. The "what a name" was the first one I noticed.

    I haven't noticed them in origin but I have set origin to open on my library.

    I got one today that said “Get pizazzy, Chazzzy”. I thought that was cool and unique to me because it rhymed with my name.

    Now I see everybody gets the same thing.

    ?


    It has a nice ring to it combined with your name. ;) with my name it just sounds rediculous.

    I noticed, but to me they seem mostly cringeworthy. :grimace: But I don't pay attention to them at all anymore, so it's all good.

    I love that, it cheers me up every time! I just recently saw the one on the game menu, it said "Gasp" It's simply Zoe!" I laughed out loud.
