It was not unusual to find catalogs of different software, both legal such as demos or shareware or illegal as commercial software, all together in one CD. Yes, in the 90s you could have Internet access but it was rare and most people didn't have it at all. So, 600MB of stuff all precompiled in one disc was very, very interesting for consumers. I don't think it's that's different from that, specially considering that people weren't selling this stuff but giving them away in multiple websites and forums. They should have credited the authors, but I don't think what they did is illegal or that immoral.

In Germany, there were much later internet connections that were a flat rate and the internet was billed by the minute or by megabits.
Therefore, many children had no internet to inform themselves and to download modifications for the game.
For such a thing there are also customers.
-In my opinion, EA could have started a competition so: by fans for fans, which mods and custom content come on the CDs and then sell them for a few euros.
That the children who have no internet connection can also use fan content.

As terrible as the virtual mall is, it's exactly these kind of strange 90s programs that give me nostalgia. I remember custom content on the Sims 1 being very diverse, and there was a LOT of weird stuff out there. One of my favorite memories about growing up on the Sims wasn't just playing it, but staying up super late browsing sketchy websites (hey, Angelfire.

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!

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.

Say what you like, but with so many custom content sites having shut down since the heydey of The Sims, this shyster's little pack has, in the long run, actually served to preserve some creations that have now been lost forever.

Hi! Thanks for this review. I did not know there was a cd ripping off free content. I still remember downloading those items at my house and school lol But, can you still download the custom content for sims1?

I loved the original sims. And I actually remember that That's Life. Saw it in a thrift store, didn't buy it, though, because I'd learned how to make my own stuff and had plenty of CC, already.

We had The Sims 1 when I was a little kid during the early 2000's but I remember us having no expansion packs. This video has reminded me that, no, we actually did have this. For some reason.
