00:00Hey there, it's Josh. Welcome back to Let's Game It Out. We're checking out Mall Simulator today.
00:04You all remember malls, right? They're very relevant today. Okay, first things first,
00:08we gotta rename this thing. How about Shoptimus Prime? Yes, it's perfect. And I guess the next
00:14order of business is we have to build our first storefront. Does it have to be this one? And it
00:18looks like the answer is yes. To open up more stores, we need to level up our mall. Remember
00:22how that worked? When you would go to the mall and there was only one store open, and you just
00:26really hope they level up enough to open up that jeweler? Yep, that could be us. Oh, and I'm glad
00:30they give us so many options. The only one we can do is the clothing store. Oh, and there it is. And
00:36more than that, we can rename the store Slay Station 5. Yes, this place is gonna be peak. And hey, you
00:43know what else is pretty peak? That would be our sponsor, Opera GX, the browser for gamers. And did
00:49you know there's a free VPN built right into the browser? You just go to settings, reveal the advanced
00:54options, and head on down to enable VPN and keep your browsing a little more private. And then
00:59there's the VPN Pro version, which features over 3,000 servers in over 30 countries. You can hide
01:05your IP address, switch virtual locations, and you can use it across six different devices. And right
01:11now, you can get one month of the VPN Pro version for free. Just use this code on screen in the link
01:16below to sign up. And then there's the mods. Lots and lots and lots of mods. There's a little
01:22something for everyone. Like this, or this, or how about this? It's the official LGIO mod made
01:28by the Opera GX team. And separately, there's the LGIO but cursed mod made by me, and features
01:33all kinds of things to drive you nuts. Like my voice judging you when you open another tab.
01:38You're opening another tab? Crying out when you close one.
01:41Ah! Generally lying to you about what key you're pressing. O, D, M, N. And most recently,
01:48I added that most text will use this font, and also will bob up and down on the page.
01:53Good luck! You can, of course, turn on and off the things you want, so that you can have
01:56like a semi-sane experience. And it's also super easy to import from other browsers. It
02:01just takes a few clicks, and all your settings are imported. So does this sound good to you?
02:04If it does, there are linkies in the description to download Opera GX for free, as well as links
02:10to both LGIO mods. And thanks again to them for sponsoring.
02:13Okay, let's see. Looks like we do everything through the admin tablet. Between all these
02:19options, I'm gonna assume we want mall management. Ah, yes, here we go. Tons of information for days.
02:24We have our products, also known as our shirts. No jeans yet. Those require license too. And don't
02:29even think about coming here for a leopard hoodie. Check back when I've leveled up. Hey, wait,
02:33can I stock this place with stuff from other stores? Aww. Guess not, at least not yet. Anyway,
02:38just to understand how this works, we're gonna buy some of these rust-infused shirts. Let's spend
02:43all our money on it. There we go, we did it. Now to find them so we can stock them.
02:48Oh, they're already here. Wow, that was fast. I don't know how you got in and out of here without
02:52me seeing, but good for you. So I'm pretty sure all we need to do is take these shirts and bring
02:56them into our store. And it looks like we have our choice of things we can do. We can either place
03:00them here on the table, or we can place them over here on the rack. Well, there's plenty where that
03:05came from, so we'll do both. Oh, but I don't want people to get confused. I better move these closer
03:09together. Here, you come with me. We'll just go ahead and put this thing right there. Yes, good.
03:14The perfect shopping experience. Also, are they really getting 10% off orders of over $2,000? I
03:19don't want to give people 10% off. Not for this price or any other. In fact, now I'm outraged and
03:24we're changing this price because it costs 40 to buy and we've ramped it up to 62 based on the market
03:29price for a profit of 22. But I bet we can make that 80. Yes, that seems much more reasonable for
03:35this. Okay, I think we're ready to go. Let's open the doors. How do we open the doors? Can you help
03:40me sign of the game I'm playing inside the game I'm playing? This is too much. I'm going to use this
03:45option that says take back. I really did take it back. And then when you place it again, it turns
03:50into like a fractal before it goes back into position. Anyway, whatever. I don't need to throw
03:55you away, but nobody gets free advertising. Not even myself. Get out of here. Oh, hey, what's this?
04:00Oh, I bet this is how we open the place. Let's give it a shot. Wow, that was very decisive. And
04:05now time is counting up at an alarming rate. And look, here comes somebody right now.
04:11Yep, that's how those work. Anyway, welcome to my store. Ah, I see we continue to peruse the goods
04:16looking for things. Ready to buy, are we? Oh, I'm sorry. This is too expensive for you. Well,
04:20don't worry. There's more customers where that came from. Go ahead and swagger your way through the
04:24glass. Yeah, and go all the way back to your car. Excuse me, I meant to your home planet. Although I did
04:30notice that cars are coming in here, even if people have a very interesting way of getting in
04:35and out of their cars, you know, where people look a little sunken down in the seats. And if you look
04:39at just the right angle, you can see their feet through the car. You know, in hindsight, I probably
04:44should have stopped that menace. Ah, well, too late now. And whatever, I've got a shopping mall to run.
04:50And would you look at that? It looks like people are, well, actually, I'm not really sure what's
04:54happening. I assume they're waiting in line or they just really, really like that ad. Ah, well,
04:59either way, let's get you and your twin rung up. So nice of you to buy three of the same shirts and
05:03you have your money ready. Talk about the perfect customer. And their total was $240 and they gave
05:08me $270 because who does that? And I did notice something interesting about this game. The moment
05:13that you've given them their exact change, it automatically sends them on their way. Or
05:18likewise, if they pay with a card, I also have to do exact change there. And I've definitely tried
05:22to take this amount and then like slide the card and then add more numbers. But sadly,
05:26that doesn't seem to work. But back to those cash customers, one of the exciting things is once we
05:30have to divvy out change, because the game will just automatically give it to them when we hit the
05:34right amount, it's time to pay them only in pennies or whatever these silver things claim to be. Here
05:39you go. Enjoy. Hey, what you looking at? Oh, are you just looking at this stack of pennies that goes
05:43all the way to the ceiling? Oh, you know what? Look at the time. Sorry, we got to end the day.
05:48And then you wake up back outside. You're not all still standing here, are you? Oh, well,
05:52that's just too bad. Hey, wait a minute. Did you actually take my stuff? Honestly, good on them.
05:57It looks like we're gonna have to get some security. And by that, I mean, it looks like
06:00we can pick up these mannequins. Okay, so we'll go ahead and put one like this. And we'll take the
06:04other one and have it awkwardly facing the first mannequin. My god, I hope these two pantless wonders
06:09fall in love. Anyway, you know the drill with these games. You buy stuff, you stock stuff, you sell
06:14stuff, you give them the $34 in pennies. Although if you want to do something else for fun, you can just
06:18pull out other money too. Given that I only have $120, I'm not really sure where this money is
06:23coming from. But sometimes it feels nice to flex that we have $20,000 in the register. And then
06:27before you know it, we've reached mall level two. I'm so glad that everybody is vibing with my
06:32progress. And that means it's time to make some changes around here. Like it's time for a sports
06:37market. Hey, that's what I say. Also, what is this back here? Storage? Staff only? I'll be the judge of
06:45that. Oh, it's just like a shelf. But also plenty of other space. I know it says staff only, but
06:50honestly, can I just move this thing back in there? Oh boy, you sure can. And so we shall. But first,
06:57we need to stock the shelves. And we're going to order nothing but volleyballs. And thank goodness
07:01they dropped off the boxes right outside the store. Oh, and I guess I can only put them in the
07:05cage thing. Volleypocalypse. Yeah. Now people have their choice. Do they want to waste $80 on a single
07:12volleyball? Or do they want to waste $80 on a single shirt? Okay, we're ready to go. I'm excited
07:18to see if this works. Step one, they come over here and buy an $80 volleyball. Or two, why not?
07:23You're going to want a backup. Ah, yes, there she is. And also other friends, as it turns out. All
07:28right, hang on. Let me just inch my way back here. So glad that people are on board for this. And boy,
07:33are they selling great. I mean, would you look at that? We're already sold out. Oh, whoops. You know
07:38what? I forgot about this store. Managing two things at once is hard. Anyway, this is too much
07:43work. Can I just take this thing and move it over to the other store? Oh, my goodness. It looks like
07:47I can. I'll just put this one next to this one like this. Okay, much better. What do you guys think?
07:52You ready to go over there? Is that a yes? Also, love the bag, especially the volleypocalypse ones
07:57that don't fit on one line. Anyway, there must be something in the water because they're not seeming
08:01to move. That's fine. Wait over there. I can just complete your order myself. Okay, ma'am,
08:04that'll be $80. Can you bring it over here? Oh, I'm sorry. That was a stupid question. And look
08:10at that face. This face says this is obviously my fault. Fine, here, give me your money. Oh,
08:15well, that was convenient. It just sucked me back to the register. Oh, I guess that worked. There she
08:19goes. Uh-oh, here comes everybody else. Perfectly synchronized. Well, at first. And once this really
08:23gets going, boy, howdy. Lots of sales to be made. And even better, if you're on one counter and you
08:29lean over and try to ring up something else, you totally can. Your guy just jumps registers.
08:34How convenient is that? And this is great and all, but it is starting to feel a little cramped.
08:39So let's mix this up again. Can I take these things and just put it out here? Oh yeah,
08:43that appears to be the case. Well, why not? Let's put them both out here. What do we think?
08:46Like one in front of the other like this? That makes the most sense, right? Yes, of course it does.
08:50In fact, why don't we streamline this whole process? Let's also put all the goods right at
08:54the cash register. Excuse me. Registers. Shirt fans, soccer fans, you're all the same now.
08:59Juice it up. Let everybody in. Welcome to Shoptimus Prime. Don't go in any storefronts.
09:05Everything you need is right here. You like orange shirts? Get yourself 10. Oh, look at this
09:09conundrum. This guy's ready to pay. And also this guy's ready to pay. First, we'll hop over here and
09:14ring up these shirts. Despite my torso being inside this table now, I can't reach your money, sir.
09:19Just trying to grab it through the shirts. Hold still. All right, hold on. I'll come to you. Sir,
09:23pass me your money. I just I'm over here. Never mind. I'll just grab it. And this is a great
09:27step towards streamlining the process. But you know, this still is a colossal pain. Why am I
09:31bothering doing this when I could hire a cashier for $500? Sign me up. Oh, and they're already here.
09:37Wait, you're not going to do both? But I'm watching you. You're only using the one hand. You got two
09:41arms. There's two registers. Luckily, if I go over to the sports market, I can hire a separate person
09:46to work there. Thank goodness it's all coming together. They also never leave. You shut down the
09:50store for the night and then you come back the next morning and they're still standing here. And it
09:54instead, I can stand here all creepily and just watch other people work. Actually, there is
09:58something we could be doing. Hiring restockers. Oh, yeah. There he goes already. Yeah, you stock
10:04those shirts. I have to assume he'll also stack boxes of stuff I just buy, right? That's a big
10:10old yes. And that means it's time to buy giant heaps of these boxes. 20 cases should be enough,
10:15right? What does that even look like? Oh, well, that's your problem. Have fun and fun. He shall
10:20have. I also like how when they're done restocking, they just like run away to hide only to be seen
10:24when he knows he's needed again. Wait, why do you go back here anyway? Is it because
10:28the shelving is back here? Well, what if I just grab the shelving and bring that out
10:31too? Does that mean you just kind of hang out out here now? Wait, where are you going
10:34with that one? There's no shelf. Well, yeah, that makes sense. That's a pro move if ever
10:40I've seen one. Well, what about this guy? Is he here too? Geez, I feel like I walked in
10:44on something. Whatever. This shelf is coming with me. You live here with the other shelf now.
10:48Maybe I should just close this and give you some privacy. Actually, wait, no, I'm the boss.
10:52I'll find something for you to do. First off, let's buy License 2 so we can sell jeans. Thankfully,
10:57that's only $1,000. Ta-da. And now we're going to switch to being an all-jean store. No more
11:02orange shirts, only expensive pants. Here, we'll even get these out of the way. You there,
11:06put these in storage. Yes, my lord. Yes, good. Okay, now it's Jeans O'Clock starring us and these
11:12two and the Blair Witch back there, which means now any orange shirts first get stored on the rack.
11:16But then I think the rest of them he just shoves back here, which has me wondering if I order a whole
11:20bunch of these shirts. What is he going to do with all of these? Like, obviously, the first ones go
11:24over here, but once that rack is filled all the way up, is he just going to go over here and
11:28repeatedly throw them all on the ground? Wow, that looks like a big old yes. What if he runs out of
11:32space? Can he run out of space? What's he going to do now? Is he going to stack that on top of the
11:36other one? Oh, well, that was rather jaunty. Is it just going to keep stacking? Okay, let's just wait
11:45this out and see how it turns out. Well, he's crammed the boxes all the way to the ceiling now.
11:49What is he going to do now? You know, I had not considered ignore physics and shove more in that
11:55space, but I like what I see, so I would love him to continue. Is it just going to make more space
11:59every single time? Oh, weird stuff is starting to happen. Oh, looks like he's out of boxes. I'm
12:05pretty sure that's why he stands there making out with his handiwork. Okay, well, I see how this is
12:09going to go. We're going to sell all this product so that we can fuel our addiction to watching this
12:13guy stack more boxes. So we'll shut it down for the night. We'll head back in. Good morning,
12:17sir. Are you ready for what happened overnight? Well, don't fret. We'll just make a little money
12:22and we'll start this again. And after another successful day of selling jeans and volleyballs,
12:26now that we have $12,700, it's time to sink that all into shirts. Oh yeah, it's going to be a good
12:32night for you. And just like before, it's stacking time. And after an insane number of trips, he stands
12:39proudly with his handiwork. Yeah, mash your face into that. You deserve it. What if I, uh, what if I take
12:44one of these and just kind of toss it in there? Resisting, are you? Oh, wow. How about that?
12:49I can't actually stop it from doing anything. It just absorbs the box and spits it out. Well,
12:54seems pretty indestructible. I mean, until I do this and then wake up the next day to find him like
12:58this. You can tell he doesn't care anymore because of the way he's throwing those boxes. Anyway,
13:06I'll leave you to it. I need to go make more money so I can buy more boxes.
13:09Okay, so we've been doing this for a while. I basically sold sports goods, as you can see by
13:16the tiny pile we have in here. And that took us from day 17 to day 49. Anyway, let's go look at
13:22the box room and see how it is. It's already looking very promising. Hello? Are you in there?
13:29Okay, yeah, he's in there just organizing. How many boxes are in there? No idea, but I can tell you
13:35we're at mall level seven now, which means we can open up not one, not two, but three stores. And we
13:42have our choice this time between four different things. I'm sort of curious. This one already says
13:46supermarket. Can we unlock this to be something else? Like perhaps the tech store? Only one way
13:51to find out. Yep, you sure can. And I think I know just the name. That weird phone store that says it
13:59can replace the battery of your phone. Yeah, okay, that seems good enough. Honestly,
14:05the incredibly tiny tech is really working for me. And right now everything's just empty. And don't
14:10worry, we'll stock soon enough. But for now we have other places to open. This one shall be a
14:14supermarket, which for whatever reason gives us the labeling of most cheapest. I don't know if
14:19that's a good thing, but we're committed now. Oops, all pesticides. And for our third one,
14:24we'll go ahead and skip the toy shop and go straight to the game store. There we go. We did it. I wonder
14:28if it's going to confuse anyone that this place is advertising the game station right next to a
14:33store called Slay Station 5. And of course, we'll name this one 10% games, 90% Funko Pops. You never
14:40asked for. I'm looking at you GameStop. Okay, step one, we need to take these cashier things and drag
14:46them out of the stores. I also did notice something when you set these down. It automatically forces you
14:51behind the register, at which point you can leave freely, which is convenient, but also provides an
14:55interesting opportunity. For example, could I use this to clip through walls? Well, there's only one
15:00way to know for sure. We have to inch this thing as close to the wall as we can without it turning
15:04red. So we'll back up and there we go. Interestingly, that time it didn't put me behind the register,
15:09but I can still walk up to it. Click the mouse button to become the cashier. And here we are in the
15:14wall. And by that, I mean, we're oh, oh my. Well, I can tell that's the movie theater. I wonder what
15:18flights of fancy there are to see. Oh, I know what we can see. The glorious skybox. All right, hang on.
15:24Let's try this again. Now I'm kind of curious about that cinema up there. So let's go ahead
15:28and take our thing. And this time let's walk it up these stairs and up to the cinema that we
15:32shouldn't be able to use yet. But something tells me we're going to be able to access it sooner and
15:36then step behind the counter. Ah, yes, it looks like we're between the curtain and behind the locked
15:42sign. And if I just back straight up, behold, it's time for the cinema. Oh my goodness. Look at this.
15:48We have all these spicy deals and a cash register, which we can indeed stand behind, although I'm not sure
15:54why. We can't do anything. And of course, we have a bunch of individual theaters. And it looks like
15:58screen one is actually already unlocked. Wow, the movie must be amazing in there. Yes, this movie
16:03right here. Meanwhile, screen two, which requires level seven, which we have. Can we go ahead and
16:08unlock this? Wow, we sure can for a cool $20,000 I didn't have. And I can't even go inside these.
16:15This is as far as I can get. And then I just have to secondhand enjoy the movie. Well, no need to stop
16:20here. Can I unlock this too? Also, why do these have a lower unlock level? I'm not even supposed
16:24to be in here yet. Whatever. Unlock it. Oh, wow. That one was $45,000. Well, we can't stop now. We
16:30have two more to go. So here's theater four and theater five. Oh, good. Now I'm $250,000 in debt.
16:38You know what? For that much money, I want to at least see the movie. So let me just reach through
16:41the curtain and grab my cashier's desk and then position it against the movie screen. And once we hop
16:46behind the counter, can we enjoy the movie now? Hey, wait a minute. There's no movie theater in
16:51here. It's just a room with lights in it. I've been had. Well, I think we have no choice now.
16:56We're going to need to make that money back. Well, it's a good thing we have all these shirts.
17:00Hello, shirt peasant. Are you in there? You mind if we start selling some of these? We're kind of in a
17:04bind. Okay, I'll take that as a blessing. Thank you. I think also once we start putting these things out,
17:09he's going to. Oh, yeah, see, there he is. He's already coming out to diligently stock. Okay,
17:14you know the drill. Hold please while I sell off all these shirts.
17:20Ah, and here we are. This pile represents the last of the shirts. I'm sure our employee couldn't be
17:25happier sitting back here in an empty room doing like personal stuff. And it didn't take that long.
17:30It's day 114 now. We're now mall level 10 and it only took about 10 hours. And as you can definitely
17:36see, we're out of the negative money, which means at long last we can stock our new stores. Although I
17:41gotta admit, I still have an idea. Like we could set up everything like this where it's in the
17:45middle of the mall. But honestly, now that I know we can clip into there, I kind of want to make that
17:49the place we go. Here, watch. It's going to be totally easy. We just go into every single one
17:53of our stores, drag everything up the escalator, drop it off on the other side. And once we've
17:58finished shoving everything behind the curtain, and now that every storefront is gloriously empty
18:02of furniture, all we need to do is retrieve our last cashier counter, position it so we can do our
18:07clipping through the wall trick and then cross over to the other side. And honestly, I have no
18:11plans to make any of this look nice. I'm trying to go less shopping mall and more rummage sale. Oh,
18:15and don't worry, we're going to use the theaters or whatever we're calling these. And now all we need
18:19to do is stock things like a copy of the game we're playing right now. And don't look now, but we can
18:24finally get our leopard hoodie. Oh, and thank goodness these guys deliver. Sort of. They kind of do it
18:31through the wall. Hard to blame them, really. Oh, yes, everything's looking good already. I think this is
18:36the grocery store, and I think that's the game store. And I believe this guy shoved in the theater
18:40entrance is our electronics guy. And luckily, all of our stockers just wander their way up here,
18:45get close enough to the curtains, and then just launch their goods through it. You haven't lived
18:49till you've seen mayonnaise fly onto the shelf. That's the movie theater back alley market experience
18:54we're going for. And then this guy takes the wrong escalator coming back down because that's just how
18:58good he is. I'm also very curious to see how customers deal with this. I like how the moment I pull this
19:03thing this lady pops into existence. This is the day she's been waiting for. The day where she gets
19:08to march up those stairs and get all of her shopping done in one place. Let's see how this goes.
19:15Ah, yes, working as expected. Oh, my God. Did you see this guy's bag? I'm so glad they managed to get
19:20the entire title of the store on that bag, even if it's not on the material itself. It looks like people
19:25are doing their browsing and shopping from the outside before then holding their money out to nobody,
19:29and then it mysteriously gets rung up on its own. I mean, for the most part, if they have to wait in
19:33a queue, they do it this way, you know, by melding their entire body to everybody else. But hey,
19:38you can't argue with results. That mayonnaise is flying off the shelves, literally. And of course,
19:43Mall Simulator is selling for $150. And don't worry, while these people are all clustering together,
19:48buying their goods or whatever this is, we have other shops we can now open. It's time for
19:53cosmetics. Turn that throw up into a glow up. Yeah. Ooh, and not to mention an arcade,
20:01which is really cool and all. Not like it's going to matter. These machines are immediately
20:05finding their way in here. Designated crying area. Oh, boy, it's starting to get kind of crowded in
20:10here, especially with these arcade machines. I'm not really sure how people are going to get over
20:14here and play these. Oh, wait, never mind. These two guys are definitely playing arcades. Oh,
20:18yeah, they're having a good time. Don't let anybody embarrass you about those tendrils you call
20:22fingers. No, I didn't mean it. I was, uh, oh, whatever. The important part is that everybody
20:26continues to buy, buy, and do more buying. Or check out the designated crying area. Everybody
20:32wins. Oh, dear me. And through all of this, we actually hit level 12 finally. Oh, no. Are you
20:37telling me we have to open the doors now and face all of these psychos? I don't know if I can deal
20:42with that, but let's give it a shot. Oh, God, watch out for that lady. She's got the pension hands.
20:48Yeah, I feel like unleashing these people was not the best idea. You know what? It's just not the
20:52same. This guy's over here trying to get people to go see movies. This lady, well,
20:56she's just trying to play the arcade sort of behind him. But now this is starting to feel a
21:00little too open air for me. So I think we need to find a place to relocate all of this. Let's see
21:04if I wanted to find a new place for all of my stores. Aha! Surely we can shove them all in the
21:11bathroom, right? I mean, look, they're open and everything. And wow, sure is swanky in here.
21:15You know, with the no toilet paper and the washing your hands with the bags. Not to mention there's
21:22no soap. It's perfect. I mean, obviously we'll have to test this real fast. Let's see. Can I
21:27just take these things? And yep, you sure can. And before you know it, this unsuspecting restroom
21:31is going to look more like this. Aw, yeah. The restroom is now where all the good stuff is. Cat food,
21:38game consoles, creepy mannequins, not to mention raw meat, all kinds of shoes, snowboards, phones,
21:44basketballs, you name it, we have it in the restroom. And just something about that bathroom
21:49mayo just hits different. Oh, and don't worry, we use these two. After all, where are you going
21:53to find your toothpaste and makeup? Or your fresh fruit? Hope you weren't planning to take a crap.
21:58Not when you could be buying a MacBook. Also, I didn't actually notice until it was too late,
22:02but this is the women's restroom. But don't worry, there's more stuff in the men's. This is where all
22:06the overflow went. And by that, I mean all the cashiers. And before you know it, this is turning
22:11into quite the establishment. And yes, there is the occasional person that tries to come in here
22:15and still use the bathroom. I'm so sorry. Yeah, I don't know why you couldn't find the toilet paper.
22:19Good thing there were pineapples in there, I guess. And boy, howdy, is this lucrative. I've
22:23already made 1.4 million dollars. And as far as I can tell, the sky's the limit. I want to thank
22:28Opera GX again for sponsoring this video. Link in the description so you can check it out for
22:32yourself. So I hope you had fun. I know I did. And I'll see you next time.
