Yup! When you run PetzA it'll ask to alter the .exe files.

Does PetzA work on windows 8?

Okay, so I installed Petz 5. The Dogz that popped out of the adoption center are super boxy and have NO faces. I installed PetzA, but that didn't help.

I don't remember them looking like this.

Someone please help me. ;A;

That's actually a common problem, Darby! Try running Petz in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2.

At least your glitch is sort of amusing? I found a similar glitch on a random forum, but they never found out why it happened. Maybe try installing it to my documents if you haven't already? Maybe Petz 4 would world better? I have no idea.

Edit: Try what Hawk said?

Tried running it as an administrator, tried compatibility mode. Neither worked. I don't have Petz 4, I only have Petz 5 and Dogz 3. How do I install to my documents?

You pick up the entire Petz folder and paste it to My Documents. It's that simple. :D

Tried running it from documents, still have freaky faceless pugs. Oh well. :\ I guess it really was too good to be true.

That problem happened to me once, give me a second to go hunt down what I did to fix it...

Edit: Have you tried changing your screen resolution, Darby? Go up or down a little bit and try and play each time until it works.

I can sure try! I'll have to reinstall it though.

Out of curiousity, how does one get Pugs in Petz 4?

Hope you get things working, Darby! I believe there are converted Pug breed files for Petz 4, such as the one located here. I haven't used it myself, though, so I can't say if it works. Seems to be OK, but perhaps someone else has tried this out?

Pugs don't come with Petz 4 at first, but you can get a Petz 4 conversion from where Jessica said. Alternatively you can get a 3rd party pug from Faerie Barn Dance or Anystar (these are the only sites that are still around that I know of and who have pugs, but there may be more).

It's the process of making new breeds for Petz. It's -basically- how the pug was converted to P4. :3 You can make all kinds of things in Petz, too.

For anyone who has only of of the two games(for example, catz 3 or Dogz 4), but wants to play with the other side of that game, Carolyn's Creations has something that will help with that. Look in the sidebar for the Catz in Dogz & Dogz in Catz links for the game you have. Be sure to read carefully.

Coming soon to a Petz game near you...


Black bears!

This is a new breed I just now made. It will be posted on my Petz website for everyone to enjoy (once Hawk makes the site). I'm not super experienced with breed hexing, so there are a few problems, including that white tail. Does anybody know what causes that/how to fix it?

A few things:

What color did you use for that particular tail ball?
Did you change the tail color in the base ball or in Color Overwrites?
Are you using LNZPro, Petz Workshop or a combination?

Would anyone happen to know how to install the Petz 3 snow scene? There is a list of official downloads here, but running the snow scene file doesn't actually install it for me. Actually, I'm pretty sure I found the files elsewhere in non .exe format, but the snow scene download wasn't working.

In other news... Debating which breed to have. I'm going to start with a bunch from the adoption center and raise them naturally! I miss the goofiness of these dogz. Only, what breed? Definitely going for a purebred line. I just can't decide!

Also going to look into a separate site/forum for our Petz stuff within the next week. I've been busy with lots of other things, but I haven't forgotten!

Kappsune: Would you mind if I peeked at the LNZ for you? If not, take the file into Petz Workshop again and apply the changes to both the base ball and the overwrites.

Jessica: That would be amazing!

No pugs for Petz 3, as far as I know. I'll make a decision soon enough... Let's hope! Part of me is leaning towards Bulldogs, another towards Scotties.

Actually, that was one of my goals one day: To selectively breed a dog who resembled my real dog, Skittles, who passed away about two years ago. Doesn't seem too difficult: Maybe I'll give that project a go soon enough!

Here are some pics of my fave petz! ^-^
(All these are pretty old pictures... The petz that aren't hexed are pretty much all kittenz or puppiez in these pics. :3)

First of all...
Harley!

I'm raising this doggy like I would a real dog! Teaching him tricks, feeding him, playing with him, brushing him, all that! :) I don't use PetzA on him!

Kya!

Kya makes the best faces! xD I seem to think she has a personality like me... She can be feisty but sometimes fun. ;) I'm raising her without PetzA.

Pumpkin And Ribbon!

I only got these two today. But I already love them! I got them from a thing called a grabag of a petz forum I use... I might raise them without PetzA!

And last of all...
Skye!

This girl is probably my fave pet. She has the most adorable personality! <3 I have been raising her without PetzA.

Now for the hexies! Starting with...
Amber!

A tiger hexie I got of a petz forum I go on. :)

Dazzle Dash!

Oh man... I won this guy in a raffle on a petz forum! I felt so lucky! xD He just looks awesome!

Sanura!

I got this kitty of a petz site called PUGS. (Petz Universal Game Site) Its a place where you can earn virtual coins by owning a shop and/or playing games to buy petz of other people!

And now...
Flitter!

Probably my fave hexie! I was generously offered a custom of her from someone on a petz forum after I showed interest in one someone else got given by the same person. :)

Oh dear, I hope this isn't to long. :/ Just let me know if it is!

EDIT: Ugh, the pictures aren't showing... How do I get them to show? Never posted pics on here before.

Make sure to take a look at the list of commands next to the reply box. This forum uses custom coding, so you can't copy the standard codes provided at most sites. I would fix your post, but I don't have editing capabilities on the Strangeo board.

Ah ok thank you! :) But if someone else is able to fix it that would be great... I'm not sure if I know fully how to do it or not.
