The main game mode is pronounced...
I have heard people use either live (rhymes with hive) or live (rhymes with give) for the normal game mode in the Sims. How do you pronounce the word in this context? Yes, this is a silly questi...

I say live as in "five" because it's the right way. ?
I know the "official" way is the other, but it just sounds awkward and doesn't make sense. I mean, I'm not doing the living and Sims aren't actually alive but the game can go into a live (five) mode when leaving pause or build or CAS. It's like saying, "Aaaannnd action!" and everything goes into motion. And didn't Will Wright himself say that being the player was like being in the director's chair and the Sims were the actors? I feel like I read that somewhere.
So, sorry Will, but it makes more sense to call it live (five).
