Gameplay and commentary on The Sims Superstar, covering Duke's many attempts at fame and Christina Aguilera's autograph. Download the LGR poster: www.mediafire.c...
They really should've included a lot of this in the Sims 3. The fashion career, having your sims audition for a role, etc. would've made Late Night/Showtime more interesting.
totally agree. wish there was more life to auditioning for movie roles or something. i just wish they had incorporated some real celebs like they did in Sims 1. yea you could make your own but wheres the fun in that? :/ i miss marilyn monroe.
I am a huge Maxis fan, ever since SimCity from 1989. I knew The Sims would be worth playing, if only because it was by the same designer, Will Wright. But when I first sat down to play it my mind was thoroughly blown. It was the first time I'd ever seen a simulation of the mundane. Just living life: getting a job, sleeping, eating, taking a dump, buying a new trash can. Very much reminiscent of the 3D home design/architecture programs that I was fond of, but with so much more. Hooked ever since!
That's what practicing singing/whatever is for. There are probably other things to it that aren't really touched on in books or whatnot, or if they are touched on, it flies over people's heads. Listening to intuition in the moment might be one part, to make things _just right._
I prefer to record and show the games in their native resolution and aspect ratio, largely because I hate stretching and imprecise scaling. It just looks like garbage, way worse than black bars. Unless those issues can be corrected, I stick with 4:3 for games that use it.
Or, at least, on GOG.com. Hey, if SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000, SimCity 4 and Spore got re-releases on GOG.com, then it would be natural to release The Sims 1 on there, and also The Sims 2, again, with all of the expansions.
Unfortunately The Sims 1 doesn’t like modern OS’s, namely anything past windows 7. It won’t even run in compatibility mode. At least it won’t for me. Same thing with The Sims 2, except that one won’t even install expansions without crashing.
@@Poisonjam7 I can play the Sims 1 on windows 10 but it takes forever to load and u can't play anything cause it's just wasting time waiting for it to load
I've had that for years. And I also have all the expansions on their own already. The point of these is to show each expansion on their own, not to show every one of them all at once.
Heh, yeah probably, but that's not exactly the point of these videos. It's just me playing a game, it's not meant show how everything works or how to properly play it. It's literally just a snippet of time of me having fun with a piece of software and nothing more.
Sims Superstar together with Making Magic were my favourite sims 1! Can´t believe u played them the least xD, such a shame. Superstar was awesome because becoming a full celebrity really took some time and you really had the idea that you could finally do a job yourself instead of sending your sim into a rabbit hole. Making magic was awesome because of the duels where u actually had to think about what element would work best against the other and you could do lots of other stuff.
Anneturtle I loved Makin' Magic (never had superstar growing up)...but wasn't dueling essentially rock paper scissors? So it was basically a game of chance against the CPU?
It's interesting that this expansion and Makin' Magic are the least played by you hehe I freaking loved these two, they were my favourites. And the songs in Superstar? Godamn jewels, freaking love sims 1.
I remember when I was like 12 or 13 (I'm 26 now so I can't remember in full detail anymore) I befriended one of the biggest super stars, invited her over, killed her, put her tomb stone in my back yard....and that's all I remember why. I cant remember why I did it.. I don't remember if that would have helped my sim in the long run or not.
Superstar was one of my favorites. I never did manage to get past a four star rating, it was serious work. The big thing I loved about The Sims 1 was the ambience of it all. The environments and everything was always awesome.
Of what I remember from years ago, there's a magazine that's delivered everyday with the newspaper. Use the magazine to find an agent. Then when you have an agent, you can begin to go to the superstar town, and do those things to gain stars. It helps with Makin' Magic when you create a charm to get all five stars so that you don't have to work hard to get to the top as the number one celebrity.
I loved this expansion; it was actually really easy if you get all your needs up , then come directly there and start with telling jokes/singing or whatever, as you have to start small.
When i was like 5 years old (that means 13 years ago) one of my neighbors gave me a plain sims disc... And when my parents downloaded it, i was amazed about how cool was this game, it had pets, magic, snowboarding etc., and i couldnt stop playing it... But now watching lgr reviews on this game i only now realised, that on that little plain sims disc i had ALL the expansions on it... And i got it for FREE!! wow i was just a 5 year old kid, when i started to play sims :D... Then of course came sims2 wich i started to buy and i bought it in 2005, maybe, cant remember (i only got sims2 pets, but the base game i got from the same neighbor ( he is a computer quiz, or a computer worm, dont know how to call it corectly :D)) And then came sims3... Man i love this game... But now when i am older and my brain is "working corectly" :D, i didnt got the crack version but bought all the games i have right now (the base game, pets,seasons, although i really want generations too) and i am NOT considering to buy sims4 for atleast few years... I will be waiting when the base game gets cheaper, and when the most part of expansion packs comes out... But hey, thats just me ;D All my childhood was in that game and i am not stopping to play it (even when i get old ;D)
I actually just ordered the sims 1 for myself yesterday, and I have all the other sims games! sims 3 was actually the first one I played, I bought it about 5 years ago and now I have all the expansions. I got sims 2 and all its expansions for free when origin was giving it out a few years ago. I started watching these videos of LGR playing sims 1 and even though some things about this game aren't as advanced as later games, it still looks like a lot of fun and I bought it with all its expansions for only $20! I can't wait until it comes in the mail
TheWhiteWolf You can get all cracked version of the sims series including the latest sims 4...toddlers for free now...But I wouldn't waste my time as it's still the sims 4 and after a while... Even I just wanted to go back to the sims 3...

I just loved your video, you'd just captured the frustating feeling that is play some of the The Sims expansion packs.
Seems you didn't pay attention here, because this isn't a review. I do things other than reviews of DOS games, always have. If you don't like the subject of the video, don't watch it. Sorry but I tailor my channel to my interests, not yours. If it really bothers you that much, please unsubscribe. What I do here is clear: one review a week (on a DOS game or something else) & other stuff like LGR Plays in-between. Lots of people enjoy this "Sims crap", myself included, so it's not going anywhere.
I'm sure someone replied with this already, but basically each half-star unlocks more things. At first you have to use the poetry and karaoke stages, like you did at the start, to the delight of the two women... After you get your first half-star, you unlock more things. I think the first thing you unlock is the recording studio, where you can sing a jingle or something like that.
When you said the classic line "Born to be wiiiiiild!" I exploded with laughter hahahaha. thanks for making my day dude, you are a true Duke Nukem clone
I reckon it's possible for you to gain stardom by hiring an agent via the Superstar tabloid then start by singing in community lots and moving up to photography. For resetting the mood bars, it's best to save the game first (which saves the skills) and the delete your sims via the move_object cheat. Sims Superstar was one of the great expansion packs imo and it does take a while to get used to I admit that.
I remember this being my least favorite expansion. Around the time I got this was when I got bored of The Sims 1, and patiently waited for The Sims 2. Also, I kinda might have stolen money out of my dad's wallet to pay for the expansion, and when he found out, it was the worst day of my short life...
this expansion was actually pretty fun if you're not totally lost trying to figure out how to be a star... I remember I had the most fun with makin magic, and this is the 2nd
Nah. The point of these videos is to simply play a game for 20 minutes or so, and whatever happens happens. They're not a walkthrough, not a playthrough, not meant to show how to "play for real".
I think you have to entertain people with the karoke and the poetry stages to increase your stardom (which you also need a high creativity stat to use), but since Superstar was the only expansion pack I skipped getting I don't really know for sure.
Hello again!! My name is Baghera. This video is another favorite of mine. I love Sims Superstar. Now I'm really excited about Tannah getting the Sims 1: The Sims Complete Collection. Can't wait to see the other videos about Me & Tannah's favorite Sims 1 expansions. Making Magic & Unleashed are okay. What I like about Unleashed is you can have your sim adopt pets. I think Making Magic has a popcorn machine. But anyway, Me & Tannah love Superstar, Hot Date, Living Large, & House Party. Oh, Tannah's sister has Sims 2. Tannah also has 6 Sims 3 Expansions. Tannah has: Sims 3. Sims 3 Late Night. Sims 3 University Life. Sims 3 Island Paradise. Sims 3 Seasons. Sims 3 Into the Future. Tannah wants: Sims 3 Showtime. Sims 3 Supernatural. Sims 3 Katy Perry Sweets. Sims 3 Generations. Oh. Maybe one day, I want Tannah to create my best friend on Sims 1. And of course, Sarah Korea must see what she looks like on Sims 1, Sims 2, & Sims 3. Plus Tannah wants Sims 4.
Oh and my favorite piece of music comes from Superstar! It was one of the tracks that plays in the credits or when you went in to edit the studio town lots.
You have to click on the tabloid that comes with the newspaper and get an agent. Then you start with the stand up comedy and singing stage. Then I think you move on to the recording booth and then the commercial with the dude in the body cast. I could never get past the commercial. But then again I was like 9 so
I remember I really didn't get much out of this expansion. This is where I officially stopped playing the original Sims game. I never got Makin' Magic. I never managed to really follow the Superstar career track, mainly because of how ridiculously hard it was to get your Sim to do work out of the house and also maintain their needs and mood. It was nearly impossible because of how badly needs are handled in The Sims 1. I'm glad this has been improved since, it took me several years to come back. I didn't get The Sims 2 until it was basically all done and the expansions where all out.
A couple things I remember are that music video performance is based on that mini-Stone Hinge Spinal Tap thing and also you can sleep on the community lots if you go into the star trailer on one of those lots (although of course you have to BE a star to be allowed in there...oh well). There was a vibrating gold chair which was great for helping keep your energy up although that might have been a special purchase item. Damn it's been a looooong time since I've played Sims 1
I don't know if someone already mentioned, but I think there is only one place that you can start building stars, it's a photo shoot on a second floor, I don't remember exactly which building. Definitely a design flaw that there is only one place you can go to start.
In here you were wondering how to get stars. You have to click on the tabloid-thing that get's delivered with the news paper, and apply for an agent at what I believe is called "Look for an Agent" and you should ge able to start gaining stars. It's like a career basically, so when you upgrade to 2.5 stars, you do that commercial.
I never could get the hang of the whole studio thing. Where you had to pick how to do each modeling, singing, acting? I never understood how to predict what they wanted
oh you need to sign up with the studio by calling on the phone I seem to recall. Once you are registered as a celebrity wannabe you will start collecting star points by interacting with the least famous townies (not the celebrities) and work your way up.... but I like your way of playing more. I about choked laughing so hard.
LGR when the newspaper is brought in theres a magazine too thats being brought where you can hire an agent you then start at karaoke bar and then work you way up :)
That might be a glitch... I have never experienced that before though so maybe you should try google :) But if you throw it in the garbage then there should be a new one the next day
You can also use the move objects cheat on the sims to reset mood lets by deleting the sim and resuming them by clicking on their icon... just only do this on your home lot lol
Still you have to admit it would be hilarious to go through a fast food drive through using the Duke voice but playing it up like it's just your voice.
I had a mod for that called the "rejuvenation shower" I think... It worked just like a shower, only it maxed all of your needs and it left behind a pile of ashes...
I tried this expansion when it was released and like you phreakindee, I could never get my sim famous - they got tired and had to go home before I achieved anything. Great to see the game again.
I'll always thank you for this. As much as I love the Half-Life games, and your voice, I'm sure it would be a good combination. But there's only so much you can do, so I appreciate that you look at the under-appreciated titles too. (even if some of them deserved to be under-appreciated)
LGR, to become famous in this game you have to wait for the paper girl to bring the newspaper along with a magazine and then you click find agent I believe on that to begin the "fame" career then you can continue from there. I know, this expansion isn't the easiest to figure out.
I know you get this a lot but thanks for this. I never had this expansion as my funds were limited I. High scholarly but I always wondered what it was like. Im not too sad I missed it as I'm not into out of the ordinary stuff in the Sims...I'm more into the everyday living.
They really should've included a lot of this in the Sims 3. The fashion career, having your sims audition for a role, etc. would've made Late Night/Showtime more interesting.
ahhh.... sims is awesome but it could be sooo much better
totally agree. wish there was more life to auditioning for movie roles or something. i just wish they had incorporated some real celebs like they did in Sims 1. yea you could make your own but wheres the fun in that? :/ i miss marilyn monroe.
But it might take up a lot of hard drive :/
Yeah watching these videos makes me realize just how much The Sims had :/
Late night is already interesting
I am a huge Maxis fan, ever since SimCity from 1989. I knew The Sims would be worth playing, if only because it was by the same designer, Will Wright. But when I first sat down to play it my mind was thoroughly blown. It was the first time I'd ever seen a simulation of the mundane.

Ah the early Sims, they never held your hand like they do now.
You had to figure out this crap mostly the hard way
Duke's failures are what make this silly Sims play series so endearing.
Damn that Racoon Sound is still freakin creepy
There's honestly nothing like the original Sims game :) brings back so many memories
This expansion seems to have a really depressing message. It reminds us that you have to be a celebrity before you can become a celebrity.
Classic Rock Kid Why
That's what practicing singing/whatever is for. There are probably other things to it that aren't really touched on in books or whatnot, or if they are touched on, it flies over people's heads. Listening to intuition in the moment might be one part, to make things _just right._
I mean isnt that how it is in real life?😂 I really doubt it be easy to become a celebrity in real life LET ALONE lmao
save, move objects on, delete sim, click on their icon. i abused that too much but god they're needy in the original.
what to do after the sim was deleted ?
Haha, you have to find an agent via that Studiotown newspaper thing that gets delivered before you can start getting stars, silly!
I prefer to record and show the games in their native resolution and aspect ratio, largely because I hate stretching and imprecise scaling. It just looks like garbage, way worse than black bars. Unless those issues can be corrected, I stick with 4:3 for games that use it.
FOR THE LUV OF GOD EA RELEASE THE SIMS 1 and everything for it again on origin!

@@anon2447 I know it's annoying. I want to play The Movies but the compatibility issues keeps me from playing it...
It doesn't look that complicated. Everytime you get too tired, you just go back and bulldoze your house. You know, just like in real life.
I've had that for years. And I also have all the expansions on their own already. The point of these is to show each expansion on their own, not to show every one of them all at once.
I loved this expansion pack. Getting them to Superstar status took work, but the more you played, the more you could strategize how to get them there.
This was, by far, my favourite expansion pack for The Sims, but that's only because I liked listening to my sim singing off key xD
"Yes, get rid of the frickin' house! I don't really care at this point! I just want to sleep!"
Heh, yeah probably, but that's not exactly the point of these videos. It's just me playing a game, it's not meant show how everything works or how to properly play it. It's literally just a snippet of time of me having fun with a piece of software and nothing more.
Dickstina Agdicklera is probably the best name ever invented as an insult... probably.
So much Sims 1 nostalgia.
Memories of its addicting yet totally frustrating gameplay come flooding back
I sometimes forget how long I've been watching you for... I'm glad I've stuck around for all these years

The Sims 1 Makin Magic and Superstar where the best expansion packs. They need to remake them for The Sims 4 :D
yesssss
Fozzer Sims 4 is shit
Haven't seen the original sims since I was like 14. So much nostalgia.
Bob Dole remembers making small houses on these lots in the edit mode to keep his sims needs meet to actually be able to do stuff.
awww i miss the sims 1 it goes back way back good mermories
feeling super nostalgic about the sims 1 lately. thank you for this.
I think this was my favorite Sims expansion. Thanks!
When you said the classic line "Born to be wiiiiiild!" I exploded with laughter hahahaha. thanks for making my day dude, you are a true Duke Nukem clone
Start on the open mic, and practice on it until you reach 1.5 stars.

No plans on reviewing Half-Life or any Valve games. I really don't see the point as they've been reviewed to death by everyone already.
This expansion pack and unleashed were my faves growing up but also were like the only ones I had besides hot date lol

I think you have to entertain people with the karoke and the poetry stages to increase your stardom (which you also need a high creativity stat to use), but since Superstar was the only expansion pack I skipped getting I don't really know for sure.
Hey, I love your reviews!
Would really like it if you did one of your lgr plays videos on the Sims 2… That game is serious nostalgia material!
I’m here after watching the sims 4 get famous trailer.
Superstar was my favorite pack, and wished it came out in Sims 2.
We need more lgr plays
Do you do your duke impersination in public, like maybe to a wal-mart greeter or the person waiting on your table at a restaurant?
"exploit the game" by spending 10,000 simoleons by moving him out and in every time he needs a nap. You're really showing EA lol

I don't know if someone already mentioned, but I think there is only one place that you can start building stars, it's a photo shoot on a second floor, I don't remember exactly which building. Definitely a design flaw that there is only one place you can go to start.
You can earn stars from the karaoke and poetry stands as well. I think each track (model, actor, singer) has a starting object.
In here you were wondering how to get stars. You have to click on the tabloid-thing that get's delivered with the news paper, and apply for an agent at what I believe is called "Look for an Agent" and you should ge able to start gaining stars.

Once you are registered as a celebrity wannabe you will start collecting star points by interacting with the least famous townies (not the celebrities) and work your way up.... but I like your way of playing more. I about choked laughing so hard.
I love your Sims videos, but sometimes watching you play is frustrating XD
LGR when the newspaper is brought in theres a magazine too thats being brought where you can hire an agent you then start at karaoke bar and then work you way up :)
DrCerebro what happens if the magazine gets deleted before you do anything?
That might be a glitch... I have never experienced that before though so maybe you should try google :) But if you throw it in the garbage then there should be a new one the next day
"...and trying my best not to rip off Steve Benway" ;)
You can also use the move objects cheat on the sims to reset mood lets by deleting the sim and resuming them by clicking on their icon... just only do this on your home lot lol
Still you have to admit it would be hilarious to go through a fast food drive through using the Duke voice but playing it up like it's just your voice.
I had a mod for that called the "rejuvenation shower" I think... It worked just like a shower, only it maxed all of your needs and it left behind a pile of ashes...
At 1:00 that sound use to torment the hell out of me whenever i would hear it. Ahhh good old original Sims quirky little awesome sounds.
I tried this expansion when it was released and like you phreakindee, I could never get my sim famous - they got tired and had to go home before I achieved anything. Great to see the game again.
i would watch an hour long video of just you duke nukem voice, i absolutely love your reviews
"Marilyn Monroe? How are you alive??" I died. Lol
It’s better than Sims 4 Get famous lmao.
I dont think Ive ever lol'd so much in one of your videos before, keep of the good work.
Omg i remember when I got this game I was so excited to play it...then it didn't work on the computer we had at the time and I was so upset.
I'll always thank you for this. As much as I love the Half-Life games, and your voice, I'm sure it would be a good combination. But there's only so much you can do, so I appreciate that you look at the under-appreciated titles too. (even if some of them deserved to be under-appreciated)
OMG LMFAO!!!! This is the first LGR plays I've ever watched and I almost died laughing. I watch your reviews and they r funny but this was great!
LGR, to become famous in this game you have to wait for the paper girl to bring the newspaper along with a magazine and then you click find agent I believe on that to begin the "fame" career then you can continue from there. I know, this expansion isn't the easiest to figure out.
Because he kicks ass and chews bubble gum, and is all outta gum.
Asheville, NC? Great town I love it there..
The moment with Christina Aguilera is hilarious it will always be 15:58
A capture card, AverMedia Live Gamer HD. He's got a video on it on his channel, look it up!
I know you get this a lot but thanks for this. I never had this expansion as my funds were limited I. High scholarly but I always wondered what it was like. Im not too sad I missed it as I'm not into out of the ordinary stuff in the Sims...I'm more into the everyday living.
How you progress is by clicking the tabloid, and hit "find agent", you should then enter the fame career.
I really don't like the Sims. But I love watching you playing it :-D
"Oh, look at the WALL. Look at the wall, dude, that'll help." 😂😂
