The Sims is a simulated world where you can live, love, have cats, make money, and the ever-hilarious woohoo (a sim euphemism for sex). It’s a wondrous world of complete creation where you can be a god, either a soft, loving, and caring one that provides pizza for every meal, or an evil, mean god that kills off a family simply to have a haunted house. Regardless of the morality of the creator, it’s a game of free and open creation.


The Sims have a radio like any simulated world would have. It’s got its own music soundtrack (as do all video games). From the start, it’s had a form of instrumental soundtracks including an upbeat salsa for the loading screen, and of course the several classical orchestral soundtracks for the creative build mode.

There’s a whole list of music in the Sims available at the Sims-wiki. The songs they play from Sims 2 onward mimic the songs of our world but in Simlish or Sims English. So it’s seriously weird because it’s songs in a gibberish language. But they’re good.


There is a large assortment of songs from a range of artists. Seriously, there is a lot.


Some of these songs include “Manos al Aire” by Nelly Furtado, “Double Vision” by 3oh!3, “Some Chords” by Deadmau5,  “Ever Seen This” by Aceyalone and RJD2, “Saturday Night” by Jessica Mauboy. There are so many other artists that have their songs in Simlish and here’s a list of them on the Sims-wiki.


Here is a small glimpse at the Sim soundtrack of real-world songs in Simlish.

Switching Styles is based in central Alberta, on the enduring homelands of many Indigenous Peoples, including the Beaver, Big Stone Cree, Cree, Dënéndeh, Ĩyãħé Nakón mąkóce (Stoney), Kelly Lake Métis Settlement Society, Ktunaxa ɁamakɁis, Lheidli T’enneh, Michif Piyii (Métis), Mountain Métis, Niitsítpiis-stahkoii (Blackfoot / Niitsítapi), Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, Tsuut’ina, ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐤ ᐊᐢᑭᕀ Nêhiyaw-Askiy (Plains Cree), Woodland Cree, and many others. As a Canadian music platform, we recognize that the arts exist within broader systems shaped by colonial history. Colonial policies and practices deliberately sought to suppress Indigenous cultures, traditions, and songs. We acknowledge this history and its ongoing impacts of colonialism. We are grateful for the opportunity to share music and culture on these lands, and we commit to ongoing learning, accountability, respect, and meaningful action.
 

We commit to supporting Indigenous voices and ensuring that Indigenous music, stories, and cultures are protected, amplified, and never erased.
