Buy mode in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' has tools not included in ''The Sims'' (original) buy mode. These tools are also available in [[build mode]]. Tools include:
'''Eyedropper Tool:''' When pointed at a wall covering, floor covering, or most objects, will show the name of what it's pointed at. Clicking on a wall or floor covering will switch to the appropriate area of build mode and select that covering so it can be applied. Clicking on an object will make an exact duplicate of it, and will focus the catalog on that object.▼

The player can also duplicate an object with the hand tool, after grabbing and placing it down while holding down Shift key.{{Vgversion|TS3}}
'''Design Tool:''' Allows a recolor or other change to a selected item. Costs §15 per use, and some items cannot be changed.▼

'''Top-down View:''' Switches the display to (or from) a view from above.▼
'''Create a Style:'''{{Vgversion|TS2}} This tool opens up the Create a Style menu, which allows the player to redecorate and recolor most items using both preselected styles and colors, or by manually using a color wheel and different available textures. Use of this tool is free.▼

'''Undo/Redo:''' In ''The Sims'', this was only available in build mode. The undo/redo history will be kept even if the player switches between buy and build modes.
'''Sledgehammer Tool:''' Introduced in ''The Sims 2: Pets'' and reintroduced in later games. It's another way to remove walls and objects, and can remove all objects that are on a tile. Multiple objects can be deleted by dragging the cursour around the selected area of choice that needs getting rid off.
'''45 degree angle:''' This was introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'', and it makes it easier to put floor tiles on the ceiling.
▲Also, the '''hand tool''' was improved. When holding an item, the highlighted tile(s) which show its footprint also show which side is considered the front. (Depending on the object, this may or may not be the side Sims will approach it from.) Also, those tiles will be either green or red. If they are green, the item may be placed in that location. If they are red, something is preventing the item from being placed in that location.

== Family Inventory ==
Line 77 ⟶ 68:
In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', buy mode is not an independent mode, but is instead fully incorporated into build mode. Build mode in ''The Sims 4'' contains an object catalog (including object sorting by room and function) and a family inventory.
