Wicked awesome

Alex and I have discovered something really interesting (or maybe not at all interesting) about our Sims.

I have known since the earlier version of the game that music generally makes them really happy. They like to dance, whether alone, in pairs, or in groups. I also remember that different Sims have tendencies toward different types of music. Like actual people. Kinda neat, right?

Well, in The Sims 2, we have found that our Sims really, really, really like metal. And anyone familiar with the game might remember that while Sims speak and sing and such, they don't use English words. It sounds like English words, but it is actually gibberish Sim language. So imagine a hardcore death metal song, but even less comprehensible.

They will dance to anything, but they seem to prefer the metal station on the radio. Also, it helps that the music video station on TV has a metal video in its rotation. It features Sim teens running through a graveyard, kicking grave markers, falling down on the ground and then writhing around.

It's pretty wicked.
