How do I add a new animation into the game?

[mutants_r_us]

I just downloaded simpose 2. Is this what I need? If so, then how do I export them into sims-compatible files? Furthermore, How would I go about creating a social interaction that would appear in a sims pi menu. Please help.

This all depends on what the end result is that you want. To use animations from other items and add them to your new item you need to edit BHAV files and the text lists to call the the required animations. If you are trying to add a new social interaction, you need to do some reading on the topic, and there is a lot out there. Try this (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=111124) thread and the Modding Infocenter for articles on advanced modding, particularly this (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=111469) series of tutorials and the discussions.

When you have a clearer idea of what you want to make and the steps involved, then you can ask more specific questions which will help people to help you best. Good luck.
