Artists Recording In Simlish for Sims 3 Late Night

"Simlish" is the official language of The Sims. It's what Sims speak instead of English, and it's going to be the language of choice for over two dozen pop, hip-hop, and alternative artists in The Sims 3 Late Night expansion and The Sims 3 Xbox 360/PS3/Wii ports. The Sims 3 Late Night will be getting 18 popular music tracks in Simlish, while the console ports will get a whopping 21 songs, from artists like 3oh!3, Flo Rida featuring Jovi, Mickey Fatz, and My Chemical Romance. The songs will be rerecorded in Simlish, so Sean Foreman and Gerard Way will be crooning their bands' songs in vaguely French-sounding mumbling.

I'd honestly take offense at this, if anyone of the music was good. Fortunately, the tracks are all from autotuned pop bands with z's in their names, or guys like Souja Boy or My Chemical Romance. Incidentally, My Chemical Romance uses lyrics that are far too interesting and violent for the quality of music. They sound like a bunch of wussy douchebags, so why do they keep talking about things like murder and poison? Bah, kids these days. Let me know if George Fisher or Glen Benton re-record any of their bands' songs in Simlish.

EA registers domain name for The Sims 4

Fans of The Sims might be pleased to note that EA has registered the domain name "thesims4.com," according to SystemLink. Or maybe they'll be less than pleased, considering The Sims 3 hit stores only a year ago. Too soon to make it obsolete? Nah, especially since, without an actual announcement, we're not likely to see the next Sims for at least another year.

Keep in mind that there is still no official word of a new Sims sequel, but keep your eyes peeled for the floating green diamond in the near future. Personally, I'd like The Sims 4 to give me the ability not only to construct my own fallout shelter beneath my house, but also to then initiate the nuclear/zombie/robot apocalypse. Maybe then the neighbors will be willing to disregard my Sim's crappy charisma and pay him a visit. It seems the only logical direction to take the series.
