PetzA: Originally by Sherlock Software, now maintained by PrismMirrorLens, PetzA provides many quality of life updates for Petz players.

Download PetzA here. (scroll down to PetzA Batch Breeding)

Runaway Rescue: Restores runaway petz files. It's recommended to use PetzA and check the "Disable Daily Neglect" option, but if you have old runaway petz or play naturally and messed up, this will return your petz to you.

PetFlux: Converts petz between Petz 5 and Petz 4. Incredibly simple utility to convert your petz between Petz5 and Petz4 while preserving their data.

Palettes are a new feature of Prism's PetzA. They allow us to entirely swap out the original Petz color palette for any custom made palette. You can now have any colors you wish in your game, such as texturable purple fur.

To use palettes:

• Download the newest version of PetzA. (scroll down to PetzA Batch Breeding)
• Check the PetzA settings for "Enable palette swaps" and "unlock palette"
• In your Petz 4 > Resource folder, add a new folder called "Palettes"
• In LNZ Pro, open a .pet file, and add the the following:
  

  Code: Select all

  [Palette]
  palettename

  Change palette name to whatever your desired palette is called. It is case sensitve.

The archive of available palettes can be found at Queenie's Palettesite
