Sound
In The Sims, there isn't a whole lot of music sequences but there are a fair share of sound effects. When The Sims talk they don't talk
in English but actually speak in a sort of "Sim-Talk" which sounds like a mixture of pure gibberish mixed with foreign
languages. The effect isn't bad and it helps you increase your imagination on what they're talking
about with the assistance of "speech balloons" that have small pictures representing what they have to say. Talking isn't a big highpoint for the game but is done nicely.
Sound Effects, are done very nicely. You hear everything that happens around from the TV on
cartoons to the Sims practicing the piano
and even the "shursh" noise mad by the cappuccino machine. The sounds are detailed and have been done well. The only flaw in this is
that some of the noises may get repetitive and annoying after awhile. It brings truth to the saying "to much of a good thing". This is
still a great part of the game; they did not skip on any part of the sound effects.
