Hello! Could you please put in the game the Greek language! like an update! Thank you very much!
No, they won't do that, for the very same reason they won't ever convert Simlish into English, French, or any other "known" language. It would become repetitive and boring, because when you really take the time to listen, you'll notice that Simlish has very limited vocabulary and some "words" are used more than once to mean different things. That's the beauty of this game; the player is the one who gets to decide what their Sims are saying (in their imagination).
You're not the first person to request this (most people want it changed to English), but the response from the majority of the fan base has usually been no, because Simlish *is* the Sims. Putting it in a regular language would only spoil the fun.

Oh, I thought he/she was asking for Greek to be a supported language so that he/she would not have to play the English version (I presume).
@greenXen - that's how I understood the OP as well. The Sims 4 will support English, German, French, Russian, Polish, Swedish, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, and Korean. I don't see Greek in that list.

Well, that was my first impression too, but since it wasn't specified, I was assuming she was asking for the actual Sims language itself to be converted to Greek.
If you were asking for the game text to be in Greek, and not asking for the Sims to talk Greek, then I sincerely apologize for jumping to the wrong conclusion. And, @Gruffman, those signs were added on CC, they don't come with the GTW expansion pack. (the person said so in that thread).

You're from greece? Anyways I don't think there's much market for the game in Greek so they didn't add it. Maybe one or 2 people are into it in Greece but not enough to localise it properly. Sos you're gonna have to play in English or ask a modder to make a mod to edit text strings for ya. If you're not comfortable with using mods or a modeer isn't willing to do it as it'd be a large project then I'm afraid you probably will either have to try another modeer or just make do with it in English. I understand why you want this but it's low return, hard long work for ea so ain't gonna happen.

Yeah, I know, that is why I changed my post above, since it was CC and made my comment not so relevant.

OK man. I get that you thought they wanted the sims to talk greek and english instead of simlish but you don't have to assume things and obviously you don't haave to be SO agressive
Hey folks, it's understandable wanting the game to be supported in your native language but considering this thread was about getting a Greek language option and that it's quite old I'm going to close it off. If you have any questions about necroposting you can read this thread here : Necroposting
