Rita Ora is now a character in The Sims and will be available for download in The Sims 3 Seasons. I didn’t know who this person was, but thankfully Google saved me once again from looking like the old and out of touch person I am. Apparently she’s a singer from the UK. I don’t know a lot about music from the UK. From what I understand, everyone there loves Radiohead and Coldplay and is commanded by law to watch Doctor Who. I’m so sorry. That’s no way to live. Someday you’ll catch up to the citizens of the US and listen to all of your songs autotuned while you watch Dancing with the Stars.
Rita Ora’s Sim will sport blonde hair and red lips and will be wearing a “festive onesie.” I don’t know what that looks like, but let’s just roll with it. She’ll also sing one of her songs, “Shine Ya Light,” in Simlish, which I’m sure will be a real treat to her fans. Rita Ora commented on her involvement, “It’s so cool to have my very own Sim character available for The Sims 3 – it was so fun to sing in Simlish. That is one tough language to master!” And here I thought the language was sort of made up. Apparently it is someone’s jobs at Maxis to make voice actors speak Simlish properly. I’m guessing it involves a lot of dramatic hand gestures and sudden bouts of weeping.
