Importing props for animations
I wanted to know how props like spoons/knives for cooking. Waterbaloons in waterbaloon fights. Gifts while gift giving. How do I import these things to blender and then attach them to the sim's hand? Are there any kind of guides or tutorials or tips?

So, gifts, water balloons, all that stuff, don't actually have any animations. It's pretty much Sim A having a prop snapped to their hands, then in the code, this gets changed to be snapped to Sim's B's hand (Or inside the CLIP files data rather? Can't remember). So, if you were to check the animation for any gifts or waterballoons, then you might find yourself surprised that there is none (Maybe for waterballoons though but yeah :p)

Ok this explains a lot. I did import prop + animation and saw this.
They have small animations with small keyframes. Magic wands behaved the same way. (I remember from my enhanced witches mod).
Thank you for your reply.
