Simlish is featured prominently within the franchise of ''The Sims'' and its spinoff ''MySims'' series. It has since extended to various video games within the ''Sim'' series, including ''SimCity 4'' (2003), '' SimCity Societies'' (2007), ''SimCity'' (2013), and '' SimCity BuildIt'' (2014) of the ''SimCity'' series of games.
