Line 1: {{Era\|TS1\|TS2}} [[File:TS1 Live PIP.jpg\|thumb\|300px\|right\|A house fire in The Sims, with a Live PIP showing the fire.]] A '''Live Picture in Picture''', also known as a '''Live PIP''', is a [[notification]] in ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]'' that appears during certain events. A Live PIP is a small box, usually toin the bottom right of the screen, with a live camera ~~witnessing~~showing the event. ItClicking ~~can~~on bethe ~~closed~~PIP bywill ~~clicking~~bring onthe ~~its~~[[game Xcamera]] ~~button~~to the event. ~~Clicking~~In on''The Sims'', this will close the ~~capturing~~PIP ~~screen~~window; ~~will~~in ~~transport~~''The Sims 2'', however, the ~~game~~PIP will remain open, and will focus on the [[camera]]'s tolast ~~that~~position ~~event~~before the PIP was clicked, ~~subsequently~~allowing ~~closing~~the ~~down~~player to jump back to where they were. In both games, the PIP window can be closed without viewing the event in question. In ''The Sims 2'', the PIP window can be moved by clicking and dragging the top edge of the box. Additionally, right-clicking on the window will cause the camera to pan over to the event, rather than instantaneously jumping to it. ~~A Live PIP shows the player what's going on in the event of a [[fire]], a [[burglar]]y, and a [[repo-man]] visit, among other things.
