IFFSnooper is an IFF file reader for the Macintosh. IFFSnooper opens
up Sims 1 IFF files (usually identifiable in the Finder by the .iff
file extension) and displays their resources. Some of these are
editable.
IFFSnooper can open up other Sims 1 files such as wall files ( .wll
files), floor files ( .flr files) and .FAM files since these are all
IFF files with alternate file extensions.
You can also use IFFSnooper to make your own walls, floors and simple
objects from imported graphics.
IFF files were first developed by Electronic Arts in 1985 and used for
many years before the Sims, particularly on the Amiga computer system,
but we are interested in the IFF files used to store object data for
the Maxis/Electronic Arts game The Sims, its expansions, and The Sims
Online (TSO)/EA-Land.
