Next tutorial :How to Attach animations to our Heartbed
Beds with adult animations are one of the most wanted objects so we decided to help you to make
your own beds in very small file sizes (from 500 to 700k depending on the graphics).
We made this tutorial with only one mail goal in mind: To help all sims players to make their own love beds.
 
A)Using tmog to clone a Maxis LL heart bed -continues from page 1
 
   
6-Our new name in this case is bedhearttest and you must see things  like shown here  in this pic:
   
7-close Tmog  , Run Windows Explorer and look for your new object in your: DOWNLOADS\TRANSMOGRIFIED folder, you may want to make a copy of it just in case your first attempt may fail, so right click on your new object and select copy , then right click in some blank space below the file name and paste , you'll have now a copyofhearbedtest.iff file in case you gave the object the same name we did.

Ok now you've got your bed cloned, let's move to IffPencil 2

   
B)Using Iff pencil in order to change the file size
   
   
1-Run IffPencil 2 and you'll see this:

Once your iff file is open ,the right column will show you all its resources .

   
2-From the menu bar :File -open and select your file
 
in our case bedhearttest
You'll see things like this:

 

 
3-We're gonna work with DGRP resources now, it's got 60 elements  We just Click on #1101:top left sleeping , then press SHIFT-CLICK on item #1109  so you select a whole block from #1101 to #1109, press your delete key, accept deleting them , Oh! don't worry, we will replace these items eventually :).

 

 
4-Do the same with items :
#1301 to #1309 , delete them
#1401 to #1409 , delete them
#1601 to #1609 , delete them
#1701 to #1709 , delete them
#1801 to #1809 , delete them
Now your iffpencil will show something like this

We only left 6 elements and now we have to duplicate them in order to have our 60 again.

 
5-
Right click on #1100 and select duplicate. Replace #1100 with #1101 in the ID: input box, then accept, you have now an exact duplicate of the element #1100 .

 

 
6-Do the same till you've got 9 duplicates of #1100 (from #1101 to #1109), you'll have something like this in the end
 
 
7-Ok now we need to do the same with all the other items, so
Make 9 duplicates of #1300 and name them from #1301 to #1309
Make 9 duplicates of #1400 and name them from #1401 to #1409
Make 9 duplicates of #1600 and name them from #1601 to #1609
Make 9 duplicates of #1700 and name them from #1701 to #1709
Make 9 duplicates of #1800 and name them from #1801 to #1809
You'll have something like this now:
 
Use the IffPencil 2 File-Save option to save your work. After saving you can close Iffpencil 2.
What have we been doing here? well if we're going to make a kinky bed where animations will be over the duvet , then why do we want all those silly movements the bed shows when they are hidden?.
Look for your file in windows explorer  the file still in downloads\transmogrified? good, if it's not please copy your file and paste it in this folder, we're gonna clone the bed again using Tmog
