Make Sims Speak English Cheat!?!?

[marta_wolf]

Does anyone know of a cheat that makes Sims speak english? I was told about it by my best friend today.

[Pam]

I'm unaware of anything done by Electronic Arts that makes Sims speak English.  If it exists at all, it's probably a third party modification and we don't support their use in the game, so there won't be any information about that on this forum.

[Esther1981]

Nope. I like the funny simlish words! I never ever use mods because I've heard they mess your game up!

[Sarah]

Not as far as I know; I'd rather they speak Simlish anyway because I think that if they spoke English (or any real language) playing the game would get old pretty fast. I think there is a Simlish dictionary on the internet though, stumbled across it last year, although what each Simlish word means is very much what the creator of the dictionary believes it to be, as I don't think it's sanctioned by EA.

You know when you have played your sims game for a long time when you can understand what they say. LOL.  I think it is hilarius when they walk through the house and I know they wave and say hello or herro, but it is the same meaning, but I swear, I hear real words sometimes, I sure hope someone else hears it too, or I would feel really silly.

I agree, I would not want to have the game in english.  It is too much fun the way it is.

[Jonna]

I swear, I hear real words sometimes, I sure hope someone else hears it too, or I would feel really silly.

I swear they say my name sometimes!!  It always catches me off guard.

[Pam]

I hear their words, too.  Especially nooboo!  I hear them say nooboo when they are about to try for baby sometimes.

[Saltypaws]

Wheww, me too Pam.  Glad someone else hears that.  When you click "try for baby" they say it, it is so cute.  I didn't pay attention to that until recently.  Thought I was hearing things. lol

[Esther1981]

You know when right after you click play, and the little plumbbobs spin around EA? They "soo-soo" and I like it when you're changing their hair in the mirror they wave and say "erkny-ver" I laugh every time they say that, sounds so funny! I like to think they are saying hello or good-bye cause they do it when you first go in then when you hit accept!

[Saltypaws]

Boy, did you ever nail that spelling, lol.  I would have never thought about spelling that word.  You right though, probably is a greeting of some kind.  I think it is pretty neat.

[Esther1981]

Thanks!  I wasn't sure if that was the way to spell it, I just spelled it like it sounds! Yes it is neat!

I love the way how sims speak... though I remember in the Sims 2 I watched I video of a teen cheering to her mom (who was sleeping) cause she got A... and me and a bunch of other people swore she said a bad word. Sorry if that wasn't allowed. DX

[samoht04]

I think a lot of the simlish sounds similar, almost baby words. I think the bost similar is the AHHHHHHH! one! 

[AriaGirl77]

Why would anyone want to change it to English?  Simlish is SO much more entertaining!

[sydney511]

Oh and also if it was changed to English, when sims are arguing, I am 99.9% sure there are bad words in there (but in Simlish.) Sims 3 wouldn't exist if there was an English cheat.

[marta_wolf]

Well if they did have a cheat to make them speak english then I'm sure EA make sure that foul language would be bleeped or they wouldn't put foul language in the game at all.

[Mutt]

I remember back in The Sims 1 my wife had a character that, when frustrated would say 'boogensnot' as if it were a simlish swear word.

Well, there may be something to the English thing. I was shocked out of my mind when I heard english coming from the stereo. The 'Custom music' is definitely in English, for some reason, and it freaked me out when I heard it.

Also, I love it in Create-A-Sim, when they say 'Narzi Vonukdole!'. It sounds like they're saying some sort of Simmish proverb or 'Oh Well' phrase. I also noticed that a lot of my sims yell 'Gabba Do, Rhee' at me when they can't walk somewhere. They also act like I'm the idiot, when they can't walk around a fish tank to save their lives.

The 'Custom Music' station has unmodified real world music, and you can add your own songs too, that you'll then be able to hear on the stereo while playing the game. Just copy your songs in the 'Electronic Arts \ The Sims 3 \ Custom Music' folder, it's somewhere in My Documents. I'm sorry if you already knew this, but I think it's a nice feature to listen to the music you like directly in-game, without using a music player that would slow down your computer.

[TollingBells]

Wow, I didn't know that Miau. Thanks!  Could I replace music in other folders, or just add more?  I hate the 'Indie' music so much, it's nerve grating.

[Swede1992]

Sorry, it's only the custom music that can be changed. If you don't like Indie music, then just never turn it on!

[TollingBells]

  I looked everywhere. There's no 'Custom Music' folder in any Sim 3 game file.

[Swede1992]

I have Vista and it is: Username>Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Custom Music

Can't miss it.

[TollingBells]

Thanks Swede.   I was looking in the wrong folder. Anyway, If sims could speak English, what on earth would they say? I imagine they'd scream at you something like 'LET ME GO TO BED YOU -beep-' or 'I CAN'T GO THERE DUMB-beep-'. I know mine would, because I don't like wide open spaces, so my houses are always cramped.

Well, let's not forget that it's a T rated game. I can only think of a few bad words to change it an M game. The way I see it, T=PG 13. In most PG 13 movies, there is cursing but it would all depend on the game makers. But anyhow, I'm glad I can't understand sims for the most part. I love when they are putting a baby in a crib, they say something with nooboo in it. I've never paid attention to right before they "Try for Baby".

[TollingBells]

So, Nooboo may be 'Baby' in Simlish? What about 'Sul Sul'? You can get a book titled 'Sul Sul' from the time machine, and females sims in CAS say it while waving.

[Pam]

I'm pretty sure nooboo means baby.  You hear it a lot from parents of infants and toddlers.  I think I've heard "sul sul" in-game, too.  It sounds like a greeting to me.

[Saltypaws]

I think it is neat when they walk through the living room, or any room when they get home and wave say "herro".  Or they could actually be saying "hello", but you have to listen very closely.  Sounds so real and freaky at the same time.  By the way, who are they shooing out of the bedroom before they woohoo?  They are the only two living there.  They must be shooing me out then.  LOL. Weird.

[AriaGirl77]

chumcha = pizza  That's one that's been around since Sims 1.  Same with nooboo.  Long ago I watched a video clip online where they filmed actors doing the voice recordings for the Sims.  They read from a very detailed script that was written phonetically and they had a sound producer right there coaching them on pronunciation whenever the actors had questions.  It was pretty interesting!

[Da Vinci]

I wonder if there is a way to translate what they are saying into English, perhaps everything they say means something but we don't know what it is.

[Joria]

I crack up every time my Sim makes supernovium because she always says, "awwwsome".  A word that caught on even with Sims.

When mom/dad/sibling is trying to teach a toddler to talk I crank up the sound.  I am determined to perfect my Simlish.  lol  *waves hand and says su-su*

[TollingBells]

When mom/dad/sibling is trying to teach a toddler to talk I crank up the sound.  I am determined to perfect my Simlish.

Do you talk back to them like the toddlers? 

[StarryWildCat]

I think if you type the cheat code "englishspeakingsim" they will speak English. I'm not sure though. I hope this works for other people!
