'''Live mode''' is one of the three main modes in ''[[The Sims series]]'', the others being [[buy mode]] and [[build mode]]. It is the default mode when the player loads an occupied lot. As the name suggests, it is the only mode in which the simulation runs and plays, where [[Sim]]s live their lives and can be controlled, and where time can pass. The user has control over the time in most circumstances and can adjust the speed at which time passes. Live mode is the only mode where improvements to a lot cannot be made ([[buy mode]] is used to purchase household items, and [[build mode]] is used for architectural and building purposes), and as such, the lot grid used for the placement of objects will not be visible.
 
In ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4'', objects that can be put in inventory or appear "portable" in it's size can be moved around by clicking and holding it with the mouse. Some of these objects can be put and taken from their respective storage object (e.g, refrigerator If it's a meal).
