The game is paused while the player is in buy mode. Game time only passes when the player is in live mode.
 
Many of the tools available to the player, such as the hand tool, eyedropper tool,{{vgversion|TS2}}{{vgversion|TS3}} and design tool,{{vgversion|TS2}} or [[Create a Style]],{{vgversion|TS3}} are also available in build mode and will function just as well on items placed in build mode, like fencescolumns and trees, as they will on items placed in buy mode. In ''The Sims 2'', just like in build mode, [[lot]] information (value, size, zoning type and the neighborhood it's in) can be viewed by clicking on the button that is on the left side place of the screen.
 
In some situations, buy mode, as well as build mode, may become disabled, such as during a [[fire]], [[burglar]]y, or other major event. This is done to prevent modifications to the lot that may impact or prevent a game event from occurring. After the event has ended, build and buy modes are re-activated. However, buy mode as well as build mode can be activated through the <code>alwaysallowbuildbuy</code> cheat.{{vgversion|TS3}} In general, buy mode and build mode are also disabled when a Sim is on a [[community lot]]. In ''The Sims 3'', however, clicking the Build or Buy buttons while on a community lot will bring the camera back to the home lot of the Sim, and open Build or Buy mode there.
