FKA Twigs Joins Ranks of Musicians Lending Voices to The Sims in Simlish

07/30/2025

Electronic Arts has once again tapped a prominent musical talent, FKA Twigs, to contribute to the unique soundscape of its flagship simulation game, The Sims. With the recent launch of The Sims 4's 'Enchanted by Nature' expansion, a Simlish rendition of FKA Twigs' track 'Perfect Stranger' has been unveiled, accompanied by an in-game music video. This move underscores a rich history of artists translating their popular songs into the whimsical language of the Sims universe, further blurring the lines between popular culture and virtual entertainment.

This latest collaboration sees FKA Twigs joining an exclusive club of musicians who have embraced the quirky vocalizations of Simlish for the franchise. Notably, this tradition dates back to 2004 when The Black Eyed Peas re-recorded their hit 'Let's Get It Started' for The Urbz: Sims in the City, integrating their virtual counterparts as non-playable characters within the game. Later, in 2012, Katy Perry contributed a Simlish version of her chart-topper 'Last Friday Night' for The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats Stuff Pack, further solidifying this distinctive cross-promotional strategy.

The animated video for FKA Twigs' 'Perfect Stranger' was meticulously crafted by SolitaSims, a key member of EA's Creator Network. SolitaSims is widely recognized for their expertly choreographed in-game videos and aesthetically pleasing screenshots, which have garnered a substantial following within the Sims community. The inclusion of community artists like SolitaSims in official promotional efforts highlights EA's recognition of the vibrant and creative content generated by its player base.

While FKA Twigs has yet to publicly comment on this specific partnership, SolitaSims has openly expressed their enthusiasm and surprise regarding the project's magnitude. They leveraged their newfound visibility to motivate fellow content creators within the Sims 4 community, sharing their personal journey on social media by stating, \"Who would’ve thought this little psychopathic Sim i’d play for fun would eventually become immortalized in the Sims franchise. If this isn’t your sign to just post the content, idk what is.\" This sentiment encourages other creators to continue sharing their unique contributions, emphasizing the potential for unexpected recognition and success within the expansive Sims ecosystem.

This ongoing engagement with musical artists, from well-established pop stars to rising indie talents, consistently enriches the player experience by adding an authentic and entertaining layer to the game's audio landscape. The initiative not only serves as an effective marketing tool for new game content but also celebrates the playful and imaginative spirit that defines The Sims franchise, ensuring its continued relevance in the ever-evolving world of gaming and pop culture.
