At the EA press conference today in Cologne, it was announced that the next expansion to The Sims 3, World Adventures will have more music from big artists performing their hit songs in Simlish. The artists include Nelly Furtado, Pixie Lott, and Matt & Kim. EA promises that there will be word of more musical acts to be coming in the near future. The full list of artists and tracks announced is as follows:
• Nelly Furtado – “Manos al Aire” • Pixie Lott – “Mama Do” • Stefanie Heinzmann – “No One Can Change My Mind” • Matt & Kim – “Daylight” • Young Punx – “Juice and Gin”
I dig the Simlish songs, even though I'm not a Sims player myself. There's something oddly comforting about the language used in the game, particularly when put to music. I've found myself randomly listening to tracks like Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold" in the middle of a workday.
The Sims 3 World Adventures Expansion releases in November. A trailer and some screens follow after the fold.

I'm not at all interested in this game or its expansions, though.
