'''Hand Tool (''hotkey'' H):''' The hand tool is the default tool and is used to add, pick up, rotate, and move items. Some items cannot be moved, while others can only be placed in certain locations. 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).{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}} If the tile is highlighted green, the item may be placed at that location; otherwise, it will be red—{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}}attempting to place the item will give a description of the problem. Objects can be picked up by clicking on them. When holding an existing object, the player can delete the object by clicking on the bottom panel of the screenobject's interface, or by pressing the {{Key|Del}} key. To rotate an object, the player can either use the {{Key|<}} and {{Key|>}} keys, or drag the cursor around in the direction they wish their object to face in. When a new item is purchased, the hand tool will automatically be selected and used to place the new item; holding {{Key|Shift}} while placing the item allows the player to place multiple copies of the same item. Pressing the {{Key|Esc}} key will cancel the placement of an object. In ''The Sims'', the direction the object is facing in is indicated by the arrows shown while rotating an object with the mouse—the white arrow indicates the front side of the object, while the black arrow indicates the back.
