Build mode: Difference between revisions

'''Build mode''' is one of three main modes in most of the games of [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]] (the others being [[Live mode]] and [[Buy mode]]). Build mode is used mainly for architectural and construction work. Adding plumbing, counters and lighting — things typically done during real-life construction — is done in Buy mode instead. Some build mode tools may be inactive if playing in a [[dorm]] or [[apartment]] lot, and build mode itself may become unavailable during certain in-game events like [[fire]]s or [[burglar]]ies.
