A click action allows you to interact with an object with a single left click. In addition, each click action has a special cursor indicating what it does. This makes using objects easier, especially for new Residents. For example, if you set a box to the Buy object click action, a customer will see a "$" cursor as they hover it. They can then purchase it by clicking once, then clicking again to confirm the purchase.
