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 to the bottom right of the screen, with a live camera witnessing the event. |
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 to the bottom right of the screen, with a live camera witnessing the event. Clicking on the PIP will bring the [[game camera]] to the event. In ''The Sims'', this will close the PIP window; in ''The Sims 2'', however, the PIP will remain open, and will focus on the camera's last position before the PIP was clicked, allowing the 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 jumping to it. |
|||
It can be closed by clicking on its X button. Clicking on the capturing screen will transport the [[game camera]] to that event, subsequently closing down the PIP window and to initial camera location by clicking again. Right clicking will swiftly shift to the camera instead of doing instantaneously. By clicking on and dragging the top edge of the box allows for movement and reposition of the window on the screen. |
