These tools, for the most part, can be used interchangeably to change the elements of both buy and build modes.
'''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
'''Eyedropper Tool (''hotkey'' E):'''{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}} 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. If the selected object is from build mode, the game will switch to that mode. A glitch can sometimes occur where the item doesn't immediately appear on the cursor, and thus needs to be reselected manually.
