Dumb Question about voices
Brynne:
Hasn't with my game, so far, knock on wood. Are the voices astrologically-related? I know their nice points (or lack thereof) will give them a few different sounds. The teen male voice with 3 or fewer nice points cracks me up the way they screech "craw frabah!" when they're frustrated! But I have several tauruses in my game (I like their personalities, so I make a lot of tauruses, and they always seem to have taurus children), and one, I know for certain, has the higher male voice. The one that goes "weh WOO!" a lot. That still makes me laugh, too.But his Taurus father (Joe!) and Taurus brother both have the "stosso!" voices. So does his Gemini brother.
I often have to change my female adult voices as well, as the higher squeaky one seems to be dominating my game. It just doesn't fit with some of my characters. One interesting thing, though, is that I had an adult female whose voice I changed to that of another elder female sim, just to see what happened. The result was pretty cool. She still looks like an adult female (no saggy boobs! And I have given her salt and pepper hair and a few wrinkles) and is wearing her "adult" outfit, but has the voice (and age group) of elder. She unfortunately still has the obsteoporosis slouch, when she's standing still. :P

Now if you turn an elder into an adult again, they keep the hair and clothes etc., but they gain the voice, body and activity of the adult - and no need to pee every five sim minutes!

I didn't know there were different voices other than different age groups and genders. I know Don Lothario says that "Abaladabijay" you were talking about, ZZ. It gets me when they graduate and their voices are suddenly deeper because when they transition to YA, they keep their teen voice, but when the become adults, they keep pretty much the same face and body but change to an adult voice. Some of them I'm still not quite used to. I thought it had to do more with being outgoing and other personality factors. My outgoing teen males are always going around saying "Givanni!" The one that gets me though, and it's not every time, but sometimes when a YA female woohoos, they will do this high pitched yoddeling sound toward the end. It's weird!
ZephyrZodiac:
I think only teen females yodel! I suppose they're having an orgasm!!!!
Well, it is mainly outgoing males who have this voice, but mostly that's Leos with high fun and low niceness, i think. brandi's thrid son also says it (when he's born leo, I have had him born under a different sign, I think, but only once.
I'd actually love it if someone did a complete list of all sims' expressions - and attempted to give them a meaning! (Annoys me, though, while they're eating lunch, they can say the same thing half a dozen times - not that human males are necessarily any more inventive than - nice meal, darling. Like the mint sauce, darling. Any more gravy in that jug, son?)
Oh, and I think CAS YA's do change their faces quite a lot, I know some of mine are no where near as nice looking as adults as they were as students!

Someone on the BBS did this quite a while ago, I came across it once. Maybe if you try a search you'd be able to find it. It was a very long post as quite a few people added more words to it.
