That's Life strikes me as one of those things you find in Thailand in a gift shop.
No, the things you find in the markets there are way better. I actually picked up Sims 3 with every pack there... ya I think I accidentally pirated something
I found it in a UK charity shop
@@cinnamonskys4444 lol yes they pirated a lot of movies and games into a disc. I used to have the sims 3 will all packs in one disc but i never played it...
What Gift Shop ? I live in Thailand and i've never seen pirated version of something in gift shop, brah. If you're talking about Night Market in Bangkok, then yeah, you're right. But not gift shop, brah.
It's from Germany, a modern industrialised country that is considerably worse than Thailand when it comes to digitalisation
I actually made a lot of items for TS1 back in the days and I remember the whole fiasco this CD was, it contained some of my work :(
Are you really going to contest his validity 4 years later?
@@StrayGuitarist lmao u gucci
I’m still waiting.
Messiessi Same, I’m curious
I'm sorry that happened to you :c
When I was a kid living in Russia my dad would buy my games off the street. My favorite was a ripped sims 2 that looked fine until I realized that my teen could have a romantic relationship with anyone no matter age or relation lol
omg I love sims trash games. Do you still have it?
Sounds like Inteen mod.
There was a game called Singles and it was a 18+ clone of The Sims. I found out several years ago that a Russian company modded Singles 2 to look like the reality show "Dom-2". Lmao.

Весёлые пиратские годы
The Sims: Makin' Magic was my childhood. I remember my mom's only rule: "No WooHoo, no Baby Making without marrying your Sim of your dreams." Oh, how I miss it so.
Wow that's cute and really nice and appropriate of your mom. Wish more people had life lessons, I fell in love with my ex and was prepared to live my life with her, but unfortunately she is some kind of perpetual adulterer... I dont think shes ever been in a relationship in which she didnt cheat
@Joshua Cahoe haha, yeah, I feel that the idea of monogamy goes over alot of heads nowadays. Either way, live and learn. The Sims are a classic, always liked it for its architectural aspect. Loved making houses and understanding the aesthetics behind furniture and interior design. Thanks for sharing btw
Cute
Casey Coolican awwww. Yeah, sims is the top
@@MomoKunDaYo you posted this over a year ago - I hope you've since found someone special!
That's Life 2 looks interesting.
Not good, but interesting.
I agree
The concept is really nice it reminds me of the weird sim ports
I can imagine any child at the time would be amazed
If this is life, then it's a terrible life.
+Minecraftdude456 if it's terrible,it's accurate!
+MCD456 just like real life
Adam Demeter you gonna be so-reeeee
Oh if only you knew the strength of your jinxing powers.
Oh I love that movie
I had no idea this was a thing lol. Great review!
I love you guys!!
Samantha Yoast >you guys
lel top kek good joke there m8
the sims needs competition
No it doesnt
StarTheHedgehog759 More competition forces a company to either improve the quality of their product or make it cheaper. So yes, the EA/Sims need competition.
Nothing would make EA improve their games
StarTheHedgehog759 but maybe the competing products would be improved?
They had competition back in the day, the fact that they don't anymore should tell you something.
At least an expansion like this would've been perfect for me back then since I had no internet access on my own and I used mostly CD's from magazines to get cheats, additional content, patches etc.
IKR! those magazine CDs were awesome during the dial up days
Imagine if they remade this for Sims 3 and 4 CC.
the modding scene is big and successful enough nowadays to where I'm pretty sure a class action lawsuit would be the easiest money on the planet
TRAAASH I'm sure China could somehow get away with it they made a android clone of Overwatch after all.
Or even 2!
I remember spending hours on 7deadlysims downloading tons of objects on dial up
That was an awesome site.
I used The Sims Resource back in the day. I didn’t even speak English, I’d just browse the pages and look for some interesting stuff.
What language did you speak ?
@@StrawberryManecake we will never know :(
When even a shady company in the 2000's can make a shopping mall for the sims but not EA themselves
Sims Freeplay has a mall
@@swagman5417 Yeah but Freeplay sucks :P
It's so crazy how second-party companies could just get away with this kind of thing and not get sued or anything back in early 2000s. I remember seeing a camera thing for The Sims 1 in a secondhand shop which let you take a photo of your face and put that image onto your Sim ingame. You'd never find something like that nowadays, the company lawyers would be on it like nobody's business.
@@lazyduchess3291 Yep, that software was official to boot.
That was a time where stable Internet costs more than a full tank car...
It's worth noting that alot of the community made expansions XMedia took for their discs are really hard to find now. Even worse is that many of them no longer exist on the internet at all even with the aid of things like the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
So while it was really dickish of the creators to lift content without credit to content creators, they actually managed to help preserve them.
It's always weird how being jerks like they were actually ends up doing something good down the line.
Went to college, now in lifetime debt with no way out....
THATS LIFE!!
Miss Sadie that's what all the people say, you're riding high in April, shot down in may...
Use "Rosebud".
use "motherlode"
klapaucius
kaching
Weird thought: given how much sims 1 and 2 CC has been lost as old fan sites disappear form the net. This collections might have actually preserved some of the content!
I mean you are correct, but it's STILL a shitty thing to do. If you use the Wayback Machine, then you could probably still find those old downloads with ease.
@@XandWacky no the links are broken. The way back machine only preserved the sites not the cc's zip files
@@killerbee2562 some do work though
yeah, when he said that the content is still online, I rolled my eyes. This screwed people over but may end up being the only way to access certain mods in the future, considering how much of the early 2000s internet is gone.
To some degree though, the That's Life disc does act as a little time capsule for sims 1 custom content you can't find any more on the internet, like the official vending machine custom content that was used as the backbone for so many mood-altering items in a lot of custom content.
Actually, when reviewing I went and looked for the custom content that was contained on this disc, and I was able to easily find all of it online still. As far as I'm concerned, it serves zero purpose other than to piss of content creators and serve as a weird conversation/review piece :)
fair enough. Good on you for researching where I was too lazy. :D
+Lazy Game Reviews Stealing others content and selling it strikes me as being rather Illegal..? Also did it not concern EA/Maxis that someone else was making profit from their IP by selling content for their game..?
+SilverFurby That's why you wont see things like this on store shelves now.
+Hadras Vorshoth This is a bigger problem with the KotoR community. So much KotoR content gone after Gamefront went the way of the dinosaur yet often the content creators themselves will go batshit if anybody reuploads it. Puts archival between a rock and a hard place.
7:33 Did I just see a dead person?
"Let this weirdness rest in peace" omg!!
i thought it was a pedophile bed
Oh no they found it I MEAN WHAT A DEAD BODY
All I noticed was how HUGE that bed is!
choppier than a choppy ocean full of chopsticks
And are karate-chopping while holding Slap Chops!
Sims 4 needs a first person mode
The Sims 3 kinda had one already! Using the camcorder from the Generations expansion, you can walk around from the perspective of your sim. And you can also just press the Tab key and go into that view as well without it, though you're not controlling your sim.
I don't think playing it in first person mode will really be so useful until the Sims in the household not currently controlled by the player will actually do things like leave the lot, get a job, meet up with friends autonomously when the AI is set to its freest.
I don't know, I just tend not to enjoy micromanaging large families so much; I prefer a more relaxing game.
Sims 2 was supposed to, but it turned out it was too difficult to play much in it so they scrapped it for time.
Lazy Game Reviews There was even one in the original "The Sims" on Xbox console which I used to play a lot! If you are on the main menu, you push the left and right trigger together and it comes up a cheat menu. You type in "FISHEYE" and then when you are in the game and you switch between the walls being up or down, it also adds in a first person view.
But being the curious youngster I was, I had a little bit of a wøø høø in the love bed ;) in first person view. And I now know what really happens in the game...
They both lay still on their backs whilst the bed sheets magically move around. My mind was blown but pretty cool I remember that!
the sims 2 on console had a sort of 3rd person view in them.
Clint, you should make a video about unauthorized expansion packs! There aren't too many videos on these things other than your expansion pack video.
5:13 They even stole the door sound effect from System Shock 2! Those animals!
sounds like spiderman 2 pc game elevator sound effect
Oops misread the title as thug life
+Ashley235 Though that would make for a damn good Sims expansion pack if I say so myself.
BalanceMessiah haha that would be an interesting expansion pack. But Gta already has that covered kind of.
Oh god, the Internet is reprogramming your brain to see overused memes!
Sims Thug Life - for those who found "The Urbz" not mature enough :D
Ashley235 that would've been so much better....
“Opps i stole a bunch of content again”
Clever and hilarious😂
3:39 "Ceramiche Lamp", right *wink,wink*
Riiiiight.
As a result of German language
Did I just see a bong-shaped lamp?
yellowdog nah it's a lamp nothing to see here officer.
OMG, I've tried that's life II in the early 2000's one time, then forgot about it. Some years ago I tried to remember the name of that "expansion pack", but i couldn't, so I tought I'll never see this state of art stuff again. Thanks!
Wait, so the company makes you buy the damn CD, and then it has the audacity to make you pay Simoleons to unlock the content!? No wonder they went out of business; EA probably hired them!
the sims taught me so much about computers and mods. i'm still a pc gamer mostly thanks to the sims and it's modding community.
I think Maxis back in the day really pushed for user-created content. They always provided at least some tools to help out.
I love when you show us these bizarre, "why-does-this-exist" games
Yknow if this kind of stuff was still a thing, the modding community could have started making their own stuff packs that give you 30 or so items for the cost EA charges you for a vibrating chair on the store.
I come from the future, thats exactly what the sims community is doing nowadays.
Never heard of this before but I definitely recognise some 7 & 8 Deadly Sims content. Gosh, what a douchey company.
Awesome review though, LGR! I always appreciate your Sims content. :)
Khalee I just want to say you and Lazy Game Reviewer are my favorite simmers. I love your 100 baby challenges, and Cinderella challenge.Everytime I watch your video's I laugh.I just want to say thanks for being a youtuber.I was going through a rough time in life and I found your channel and you cheered me up.This may sound cheesy and I know your probably not going to see this comment but I just wanted to thanks!
Man, LGR, your videos sure make my day a lot more fun and entertaining!
Happy to hear :)
Seeing you review That's Life 2 is amazing to me. I remember being a kid and completely unaware that That's life was stolen content (and without much internet access anyway). I used That's Life a lot so when That's Life 2 came out, I immediately bought it with what little money my 13-year-old's self had. I could never get it to work so finally seeing it is great!
Clever imagery when saying "let this wierdness rest in peace"
Oh god, I remember some of these.
Most stuff were badly cut/edited still images from the actual real life objects, giving a mess of stuff with weird angles, white pixels around or totally out of place with the game style
Moby The Duck it was much more easy at the time because the Sims didn’t have 3D graphics entirely. Nowadays , Sims 4 is totally 3D . Back then you could just cut and edit images. I remember how bad some of them where .
@@sikerslalatm3147 yeah, although the Duke Nukem model was quite good. I did get a look at some of the guitar models and yikes alive.
Just what I needed after a stressful day: your soothing voice (...that came out rather weird), and an informative video to keep me entertained.
*Steals other people's creations*
"~Thats life!!"
I remember 'That's life 2' in a pirate-made CD, so it's double stealing. And it barely worked too.
raises that age-old question: if you thieve from a thief, is it wrong?
(probably)
I'd be super interested in seeing you do a review of The Urbz sims in the city!
At 7:33 why is there a child's corpse on that bed...? :|
necro-pedophile community requested it
@@Herbert2892 Ewww, for real? >_
@@D0MiN0ChAn No, i was just kidding. But prepare for things like this in a near future.
Could have been great for people that didn't have internet access.
No doubt, but by profiting from stolen content, it's kind of beside the point.
Lazy Game Reviews But nowadays, I am sure, this pack can be downloaded for free and because lots of links to mods for Sims 1 are dead by this point... well, great archive I guess?
Lazy Game Reviews
Yeah, from a reason standpoint it is. But those "internet-packs" felt like a godsent to me back in the day, when internet was really scarce in my area. The alternative was begging my friends dad to let me use his dial up internet connection (as my family refused to get internet for quite some time) and later carrying the data over on floppy disks, that may or may not survive the trip. Not to mention the per-minute cost that was attacked to going online, *ugh*.
Anastasia B Good point, but it's not even that great of an archive, seeing as The Sims Resource still holds custom content made for The Sims 1 from 2000 up until now. It has 96,663 creations.
Stabalce True, but most of that is honestly crap. I remember loads more mods and CC for the Sims that simply isn't around anymore. Good stuff, like god items for Superstar and Makin Magic, and uncountable amounts of skins and furniture sets.
4:13 - "Unskippable message from the depths of Hades"
Nice one 🤣
1:38 "Black and sexy"
Just how I like my coffee.
The perspective on that iMac is creeping me out.
Looks like a bad photoshop.
I bought this back in the day and actually loved it. Although I was 12, had no internet and didn't know any better :P
Dylan Quinn gasp who are you supposed to be
The thumbnail looks cringy, loved it.
"ceramiche lamp" at 3:40 is a bong! :)
I was a big fan of The Sims and never heard of this. I had that iMac downloaded from a fan site, though.
Oh and 7:31 they literally took a tree from Lego Island and stuck it in! EDIT: The leaves don't match, but the "trunk" does.
Selling other people's free work... that's nasty.
No, that's life
i know right!
That's EA
I've been really enjoying your reviews lately. You seem to like all the games I liked growing up, so it's fun and nostalgic to see all of these. Plus I'm learning a lot. I've never heard of That's Life, for instance.
Fascinating, lol - that virtual store tapping your Sims save files is pretty clever, even if broken..
I didn't even know these That's Life packs came out for The Sims 1. Great review LGR 😀 When you was in the clothes store the Sims reminded me of Goldeneye on N64 haha
It's time to steal content and chew bubble gum :P
Donnie Skuza and I'm all out of stolen content.
+cloudtx And they were out of big league chew
Anti-HyperLink Well, it is. It's custom content that was taken without permission or credit
and we're all out of gum
And stolen bubble all out gum of content I'm chew
They can call it a lamp in the description all they want. The thing you put on the table next to the Mac is clearly a bong.
Btw, can your Sims smoke it? Because that would be fucking awesome.
Oh, I'm sure some functional Sims 1 bongs exist out there! Modders got pretty creative with editing functions and motives, once good 3rd-party editing tools came about, like Transmogrifier and IFF Pencil.
_EDIT: Not to mention the "bubble blower" from either Livin' Large or House Party (I forget which) that people cloned into various hookahs. :-)_
@@AaronOfMpls Transmogrifier is the one thing I tend to use when it comes to Sims 1 modding. even if the models are 2d cut images.
love your reviews,im in bed sick watching these nonstop lol they do help though because im looking into some sims 3 expansions that you would recommend.I ordered late night and im looking into buying island paradise and more.
This looks so shady, never knew it existed though
Dude, your voice is so good. i could listen to you forever
Boy do I remember this, every so often someone would ask about it on the Sims BBS and be told in no uncertain terms that they'd spend eternity in one of the deeper circles of hell if they got it, then usually someone would given them a bunch of the fansite links.
I like the small touch of showing a person sleeping on a bed when you said 'rest in piece'. It made me smile ... and wonder if the person was perhaps dead.
Great video. =D Love your videos featuring various odd things. ^^
Man, even your 9 year old videos are excellently made.
Thanks!
3:18 The Paradox is real, a Sim playing the sims in its computer, while we play the sims in our computer, maybe somebody is playing us like the Sims also xD
I actually had the first That's Life. Oh, I was so naive back then...
THANK YOU for doing this video. I remember seeing these expansion packs for sale in our local game shop when I was a kid, and i've been curious about what these were like for the longest time. Curiosity satisfied. :D
I remember these! I got them as birthday present from relatives unfamiliar witht the sims. But while 10 year old me adored the sims, I had no idea what these where and never actually managed to install any of the stuff. At least I don't think so. I do remember the interface and the virtual store though so I did get something running!
Really fun to see you finally casting some light on these really obscure, disrespectful relics of my childhood.
Wow I had no clue these even existed! Thanks for reviewing them. I love watching your videos!
Pirate compilations of mods on disks were pretty common stuff in the early 2000s in the grim darkness of former USSR. Most of them were for GTA 3 and Vice City, though - I had one for Vice City full of assorted car mods and whatnot.
Some gaming publications like the Igromania magazine in Russia (RIP) also distributed mods for games on included disks, and I'm not really sure that it was done with the consent of the modders. However, these disks were often the only way to get mods for many popular games at that time, because very few people could afford a good Internet connection back then
I find it kind of interesting how extremely thin the line is between a product meant to promote the work of other people versus a product meant to profit off of the work of other people. If X Media went one step further and included a sizable book detailing the ins and outs of custom content creation along with showcasing and talking about some of the more interesting custom content, properly crediting everyone along the way, this stuff would've been extremely well received. Case in Point: Tricks of the Doom Programming Gurus
Eh... doubtful. They're still making money by nicking other peoples work without asking and without sharing.
Fuck em.
I had "that's life" and I loved it a lot, tbh. I was about 10 years old or so back then and nowhere near able to create costum content myself. I still remember some of the buildings you could download there and they were amazing.
I love your reviews and presentation style. Keep it up!
Very interesting stuff man, I love these kinds of videos!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
This is fascinating! I had no idea this even existed. It's incredible what used to happen in the community.
3:40 ceramic lamp? thats not a lamp..
that looked like a bong
Izarely Mata what do you mean looked like, it is a bong
Valen S XD I know
Clint, you need to help me out here.
I would love to start collecting these unofficial game addon-mod-packs-ish things.
Where is a good place to look and any noteworthy packs that I should know of?
Like for example packs for Wolfenstein, Doom, Duke Nukem?
I'm in love with this shady stuff! ;)
I had the first one but never knew they were actually selling it. I thought it's some sort of collection. Not uncommon in times with bad internet connections.
Oh dear. The little lady on the cover looks like she's on her way to terminate John Connor.
Love the texture on that keyboard at 7:00 lol
that Q-bert box behind you sticks out so much, it's rly cool looking.
Always guessed you'd have these and often wondered if you'd ever do a video on them
Is that a bong on the table at 3:29?
I remember an old friend had That's Life 2, I never knew what it was until now though. Thanks to you the burning curiosity that has been digging into my brain can finally stop.
You are one of the best channels I watch. If not the best!
After watching all your videos, I will finally subscribe....
Keep the good work
The elevator sounds are ripped-off from the Myst fireplace puzzle as well, lol.
That's Life II predicted FreeSO's 3D mode and The Sims 4 First Person View.
This is my favourite LGR video...not sure why, but I laugh hysterically every time I watch it ^_^
Awesome vid man, thanks for the content
You bet, thanks for the support!
About 7 years later, this could've been a Blerb! Very amusing!
When are we going to see William Shatner's TekWar? I saw the box in the background. I want a review, dang it.
I see you everywhere
Liked for the "ominous theme" alone. XD
@3:24- "Ceramiche_Lamp"
Bitch that's a bong
i have never heard of this "game" for the sims. good i didnt buy it xD.. att the same time, i started playing The sims really young, and didnt even knew about the online stuff that you could download for your game. I slowly first found out about CC when Sims2 came out :P
I absolutely love your sims reviews. Before I buy any exansion I watch your review on it first hahaha.
This makes me miss the original sims! So simple and cute. I used to make myself and steal Mortimer Goth from his wife. We were both Taurus. Haha
Love your channel.
"un-skippable message from the depths of hades" LOL 4:13
Thankyou so much for reviewing this!
3:43
Nice "lamp" bro
Great video man! Keep em coming. Is your name Clint? Just wanted to know before I call you by the wrong name
Huh, I never knew about this. I played The Sims 1 back in the day too. Good review :)
Whoa. Thanks for reminding me of this. I've been in the Sims community since the beginning. I don't know how it slipped my mind.
