I'm wondering if there is a way that a gif can be incorporated with a custom picture; so what I'm trying to do is make a animated picture that I can hang on the walls in my sims 4 game. Does anybody know how to do this, please help.

Unfortunately animated objects generally aren't something that can be created with TS4's current state- you can do simple rotations like that outdoor light in Backyard Stuff but something more complex like using a gif in a painting isn't doable in the traditional sense :( In theory you could perhaps make your painting as a TV, with the picture space as a TV screen, and create a custom TV channel to play your gif? Then with some tuning you could remove the TV interactions to make it act more like a painting. It's a lot of work but I can't think of any easier solutions. If you're interested there's a tutorial for custom channels here: modthesims.info/t/533897

I thinking of the pictures from the Spooky Stuff Pack where the images are changed after a little time but I can´t find where to change the second image. In the texture (2d editor) there is only one picture and in the warehouse I know my not so good. Sorry.

I do believe working with .gif is possible, but I have abolutely no idea how it's done.

I don't have Spooky Stuff but from what I've been told that second picture is an effect, and currently nobody has been able to edit effects or create new ones, at least that I'm aware of :(

That's not an effect. Is an emission map and that is only present on cas objects. not buy mode. it's how the alien outfits light up.

Spirashun when I followed each instruction to create a custom tv show, it crashes my game whenever I go to start it up' so I've deleted the packages that I made and my game works now.

I'm sorry to hear that! You're welcome to post the package here and/or in that MTS thread to see if anybody can help you! I haven't touched custom channels so I don't think I'd be much use, but for the tuning I can be of more use :P
