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:
'''Hand Tool:''' Use to pick up, rotate, and move items. Some items cannot be moved; other items require being placed in a certain location (like outside). From ''[[The Sims 2]]'' onward, the tool got 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 that item from being placed there{{Vgversion|TS2}} - attempting to place the item will give a description of the problem{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion
'''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}}
