Sims in The Sims 4 all speak one language – Simlish. However, what if there were different language branches within the Simlish universe?
Over the last few years we’ve gotten packs for The Sims 4 that explored numerous cultures. Now, with the Language Barriers mod you’ll be able to have different Languages within the game for different cultures that have been introduced through some of the previous packs!
Within the Language Barriers Mod there are six different languages your Sims can learn: Komorebigo (Snowy Escape), Selvadoradian (Jungle Adventure), Simlish, Sixami (Get to Work), Sulani (Island Paradise) and Windenburgish (Get Together). Sims who live natively in one of the worlds from these packs will automatically have a proper language assigned to them – for example Sims from Mt. Komorebi automatically getting the Komorebigo language skill. However, if other Sims want to communicate with such Sims fluently they’ll have to get to work and learn all about the language of the Sim they want to speak with.
There are many ways Sims can learn languages including reading a textbook, using the “Simlingo” app and interacting with other Sims who speak the language.
This great Mod is fully functional with the latest Sims 4 Update and pack and will provide great depth to social interactions! You can learn more about the mod, along with the download link listed below:
A world where everyone speaks the same language is unrealistic. This mod adds new languages to the Sims universe, which introduces a unique challenge to the game.
features
- Six languages: Komorebigo, Selvadoradian, Simlish, Sixami, Toki Sulani, and Windenburgish.
- Native languages are assigned to sims (children and older) depending on their home world, traits, and occult type.
- Toddlers will acquire their native language(s) once they become children. The languages they acquire depends on which ones they have been exposed to while growing up.
- Sims can learn another language by using Simlingo, reading a textbook, or interacting with other sims who speak it.
- Communication between sims is limited when they do not share a language. New interactions unlock as you learn more of the other sim’s language(s).
- Sims may miscommunicate when they do not share a language. This results in an embarrassed, angry, or tense moodlet that will get worse the more they talk.

How can my sims access Simlingo? I’ve looked through the phone and computer and haven’t been able to find it.
This is a silly question…I cant find my mod folder in the Sims 4 folder..is it something I have to create?
if you click documents then electronic arts then the Sims 4 after that you should see a mod folder
Question – Is there a way to turn off the daily notifications of all the toddlers who’ve acquired their native language?
I’ve been playing with this mod for several days and I’ve liked the extra challenge, so thank you! Although my current sim did have to leave his acting career since he lives in Sulani and his co-workers/director couldn’t understand him. Too funny!
Hey, thanks for mentioning that issue with the notifications! I play with auto aging off, so I’ve never noticed it before. I was able to fix it, though – download the updated version (v1.1.5) from my site and that pesky notification issue should be gone. And I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
Makes the game more difficult to play with 6 different languages. I like to streamline my gameplay to make it more coherent.
I’ve been looking for a guide to language skill levels — where do I see my Sims’ language skills? And at what level do certain socials unlock?
You can see your sim’s skill levels with the rest of their skills in the sim info panel. As for what level socials unlock at, that info is on the mod webpage (go to details > limited interactions).
First, thank you so much for creating this mod and bringing some extra drama to the sims. Second, what about a language for the vampire world or witches? Maybe a Romanian based option? Just food for thought. Thanks again!
Will you be updating this for the latest patch? I’m getting LE’s now.
Hey great mod love it! But what about the city living mod? If you don’t want to do it that’s fine but, keep up the great work!
Is there a way to rename the languages, say if I want to use real world languages and rename them to English, German, Japanese, etc?
