Overview
This primitive is to allow your Sim to pick up and put down objects. You can provide animations to make the grasping of the object look appropriate for the object, there are certainly plenty of existing animations that would probably work fine for many things. It is also possible to use "none" instead which is always worth trying prior to searching for an appropriate animation in case it looks good enough.
Use
There is no instruction wizard for this instruction, so the following table details the meaning of each of the operands.

Problems
I have never been successful in getting a Put Down action to work to put an object back into the same slot in the same object that you just picked it up from. Best alternative is to use Run Function Tree (0x0014) with a function of 'flat surface'. See the example below.
