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.

You can easily see all the available click actions in a few, well, clicks:

  1. Right-click an object and select Edit from the pie menu.
  2. Click the General tab, if it isn't already selected.
  3. Look under When Left-Clicked. The current choices are:
    • Touch/grab (default) -
    • Sit on object - The cursor changes to a chair when you hover over the object. If clicked, your avatar sits on it (or tries to). The same result as right-clicking the object and selecting Sit Here.
    • Buy object - The same result as right-clicking the object and selecting
    • Pay object - The cursor changes to a stack of coins when you hover over the object. If clicked, a pay dialog is shown. The same result as right-clicking the object and selecting Pay....
      • This requires a script in the contents to work, and is a common alternative to Buy object when choose-your-own-price flexibility, stats tracking, and other options are needed.
