    This. I also think that like the United States, SimNation is built on immigrants, which could explain why there is a wide variety of ethnicities in their community.
  • I read somewhere they chose simlish because legally they couldn't use English language. Makes sense. Simlish is a combo of different real languages and some made up. They used Ukrainian, English and some other languages I can't remember.
