Default How can I copy an animation from one object to another?
This is probably a complicated topic, but I hope I can get some help. I have a bed with custom animations, and I'd like to add these animations to my other beds as well.
Is it possible to do this?
And would I need IFF Pencil or some other program?

Woobsha has a tutorial that might help: http://www.woobsha.com/diy-sswPatchInstructions.htm#ip.

I haven't imported animations from one object to another, but I think one imports the .cmx and .cfp files for the animations, updates the a2o and c2o strings under STR, then calls those animations instead of the standard ones in the BHAVs.

Lucpix and Kenoi have done a lot of stuff with animations, so they can probably help you if the Woobsha tutorial and my brief explanation aren't enough.

I've made some mods for The Sims 1 -- yes, The Sims ONE :-) -- which you can find at http://corylea.com/Sims1ModsByCorylea.html

Thank you for sharing.
This is more complicated than I thought. I tried to export the entire resource files from the original object, as I couldn't save specific resource as IFF. And import it into another bed.
In the game, the bed either doesn't appear in the catalog, or can't be placed. I'm guessing because both beds share the same data.
I'm pretty lost here and not sure if I want to keep trying (I'm having zero knowledge in modding) 😅
Thanks for the help though, I appreciate it.
