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 pageI 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 gameSomeone 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-baukBanana-fana fo-faukFee-fi-mo-maukHauk!

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.

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

5 years later, and I’m replying to a random stranger on internet cause…, guess what?! I also noticed this little detail and searched on net and your post was the only info I could find about it! Hahaha! And yes, 5 years later and Sims4 still has this on the top right corner! Mine says, “Mmm! [Username]? Tasty.”!

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'm happy more people noticed this, those quotes are very funny :)

My favorites are "Banana fofana, ---" "Pew pew, lasers, ---" "Oh, a wild ---" "A rare ---" "OMG cowplant, ---" "Get pizzazy, ---" "Meep meep, ---" "Eeny meeny miny, ---" "--- Is the answer" "It's elementary, my dear ---" "It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ---"
