Important - how do you pronounce 'Live mode'

its like "live your life" mode not like "live concert" mode- big distinction

In my native language “live mode” is translated to “mode of life”, so yeah, I agree with Ninja. You build in build mode and live in live mode. :)

I pronounce it as "alive", an interesting question as I've never really given it much thought. :D

I always said (a)live mode until I started interacting more with and watching videos of other simmers and learned that so many say live (laugh love). Now I find myself saying them both.

I've never really thought about it, but I guess I would call it Live Mode as in Live your life. There doesn't seem to be a definite right or wrong answer though.

I pronounce it like “live” in “alive”. Like the Sims are like a live studio audience that is going “on live”/“see it on live”, like being present on a tv studio set while the show is recording.

I think of it like with being a director with the camera mode in that I’m “recording” my sims in a live studio. (Or like a live reality show, lol.)

(I pronounce it that same way in “livestream” as well.)

Live mode bc the other modes (build, and Create) are verbs too.

^ Thank you @Luxury . Well put.

Never considered it being said another way, huh. Interesting.

I tend to think of mine the same way. They are like little puppets in my play, they aren't me. Maybe that's why I don't get attached to them in general. I play a legacy, but with each new heir, I have a story I want to tell and I don't feel bad if that involves things like killing Sims off.

I have one Sim that I've had for over three years that I'm attached to, but it has more to do with all the aspirations she's completed, all the money she has, and how her being over 500 days fits nicely into my story telling then that it's her. She's the Sim that helps all my other Sims when they need money or someone with a high skill to help them out.
