We’re often told that the language of love is universal, but that isn’t the case in The Sims 4! We might know it as WooHoo, but in France, it’s called Cric-Crak. love THE LANGUAGE OF In Germany, getting down and dirty is called Techtelmechtel (which can translate as ‘entanglement’?), and in Brazil, your Sims can Oba-Oba! In Norway, there’s no rhyming to be found, and they call it the more boring-sounding årnings. But play the game in Dutch, and it’s Ojaa, which can mean “oh yes!”. Almost every language has a different word for WooHoo! WATCH OUT FOR BEASTS Who doesn’t love puppies and kittens!? Well, clearly the Germans: they call The Sims 3 Pets “Einfach Tierisch”, which roughly translates as Simply Beastly! The German version of the game also carries a seal of approval from Ross Antony, a German television personality. At least it isn’t Katy Perry! @smagofcl 13
