Sul sul! If you’ve ever spent extended time with The Sims, don’t pretend like you don’t know what I’m saying\u2014we’ve all been there. It’s never enough to open a game in the series for a quick session. You’ve got to spend hours micromanaging households, building new homes, and coordinating fancy ‘fits.<\/p>\n

Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia We’ve got loads more PC Gamer quizzes<\/a>, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But I get it, no judgement here. The Sims 4 is easy for me to pick up, but impossible to put down. And because of that, I may know a word or two of their bizarre, in-game language. <\/p>\n

It’s called simlish, and just like Klingon from Star Trek or Final Fantasy 10’s Al Bhed, it’s your sims’ very own in-universe language. The Sims Studios has explained<\/a> its linguistic process multiple times over the years, but in case you were wondering: no, it’s not just you. Your sims really do have specific words and phrases to describe the same concepts. When you’ve played a ton of The Sims series, it’s hard not to pick up and repeat a few of them. <\/p>\n

In honor of the series’ impressive linguistic feat, I’ve teamed up with PC Gamer’s very own Sims series scholar, Lauren Morton, for a quick quiz on simlish. You’ve got a little over eight minutes to interpret these 10 sim phrases. Good luck, and let us know how you scored in the comments below.<\/p>\n
