1. Click File->New->Script
2. In the textbox that says "Class Name" in gray, type:

Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.Miscellaneous.MyLocoDresser

1. In the big empty box, type:

namespace Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.Miscellaneous
{
    public class MyLocoDresser : Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.ShelvesStorage.Mimics.DresserDesigner
    {
        public override void OnStartup()
        {
            base.OnStartup();
            base.AddInteraction(PlayObjectAnim.Singleton);

        }

        public sealed class PlayObjectAnim : Sims3.Gameplay.Interactions.Interaction<Sims3.Gameplay.Actors.Sim, MyLocoDresser>
        {
            public static readonly Sims3.Gameplay.Interactions.InteractionDefinition Singleton = new Definition();


            private bool PlayTheAnimation(Sims3.Gameplay.Interactions.InteractionInstance instance)
            {
                    base.StandardEntry(false);


                    this.mCurrentStateMachine = Sims3.SimIFace.StateMachineClient.Acquire(this.InstanceActor, "CrazyDresser", Sims3.SimIFace.AnimationPriority.kAPDefault);
                    this.mCurrentStateMachine.SetActor("dresser", this.Target);
                    this.mCurrentStateMachine.EnterState("dresser", "Enter");

                    mCurrentStateMachine.RequestState("dresser", "Exit");

                    base.StandardExit(false);
                    return true;
            }

            protected override bool Run()
            {
                PlayTheAnimation(this);
                return true;
            }

            [Sims3.Gameplay.Autonomy.DoesntRequireTuning]
            private sealed class Definition : Sims3.Gameplay.Interactions.InteractionDefinition<Sims3.Gameplay.Actors.Sim, MyLocoDresser, MyLocoDresser.PlayObjectAnim>
            {
                protected override string GetInteractionName(Sims3.Gameplay.Actors.Sim a, MyLocoDresser target, Sims3.Gameplay.Autonomy.InteractionObjectPair interaction)
                {
                    return "Play Animation";
                }

                protected override bool Test(Sims3.Gameplay.Actors.Sim a, MyLocoDresser target, bool isAutonomous, ref Sims3.SimIFace.GreyedOutTooltipCallback greyedOutTooltipCallback)
                {
                    return true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Finally, Export your package and say something in the discussion page if it doesn't work.

This is the .package file that the tutorial should yield.

Further Notes and Clarification:

• To pan in the Jazz Editor, make small circular motions with your mouse near the edge of the screen in the directin that you want to pan.
