There is no official language in 'The Sims' as it is just "gibberish", a voice actor who worked on the games has claimed.
Actor-and-musician Kid Beyond worked on 'The Sims 2' and he has revealed that there is no such thing as 'Simlish' - the language the characters speak - and the developers provide no script to the actors before they go in to the booths to record.
Kid Beyond - real name Andrew Chaikin - gave away the secret on Twitter in response to a tweet by fellow musician Lolo Zouaï who posted: "How do I get my songs officially translated to Simlish?"
He posted a series of tweets which read: "So. I was the male voice on The Sims 2, and a bunch of other Sims games. I recorded hours + hours + hours of Simlish. When I started the gig, they told me a lil’ secret:
"There is no Simlish. And no script.
"The actors just make up gibberish.
But ... It had to sound like *American* gibberish. Not Swedish, or Japanese, or random nonsense.
"And since we're voicing hundreds of situations, it couldn't just be the same gibberish over and over.
"It had to be a whole vocab. Straight off the dome."
Chaikin then revealed his own method for recording his "gibberish" for 'The Sims'.
He continued: "So here's what I did:
"1 Grab a magazine
"2 Turn it UPSIDE DOWN
"3 Read some juicy backwards words
"4 Turn the page + repeat
"After some of those 4-hour sessions, my brain would be so warped ... it took me a while to get English back. (sic)"
'The Sims 4' is to stage an in-game music festival which will see Bebe Rexha perform a Simlish version of her hit single 'Sabotage', along with performances from Glass Animals and Joy Oladokun.
