Important - how do you pronounce 'Live mode'

Here's the box art for the Sims 1 console. I played it on PC first, at someone else's house, but when I actually bought it I had the Gamecube version. This is a Playstation one, but they had the same sleeve. It says "Control their lives" and "Get a life" rather than create, build, and live.
