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 in the bottom right of the screen, with a live camera showing 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.
