Welcome!! So you just started playing Petz, or you're returning after a long break? Here is some information to get you started.

What version of Petz should I get?
Petz 4 is recommended. It is by far the most supported game by the community for modifications and custom content.

Download Petz 4 here.

Recommended Utilities
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.

Download Runaway Rescue here.

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

Download PetFlux here. (scroll down to PetFlux)

Those are the must-have utilities I recommend downloading to get you started with modern Petz.

All About Palettes
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
