To play with her online, < a href = "/carolyns_creations/phantarella/" > click here< / a > . You'll need
2023-07-07 15:25:36 -07:00
the < a href = "PetzPlayer.exe" > Petz player plug-in (click)< / a > , and
the latest browsers won't support that So unless you already have Netscape,
you also need to download < a href = "Netscape4InstallFiles.zip" > Netscape
2023-07-07 16:02:16 -07:00
Commander 4 (click)< / a > . Unzip and install Netscape, it won't affect any
2023-07-07 15:25:36 -07:00
of your other browsers. Choose to install the included cosmo Player if it
2023-07-07 16:02:16 -07:00
asks, because then you'll be able to play with the Catz 1 < a href = "/carolyns_creations/petz/dream/" > Catz World < / a > ! Then double-click on the Player to

< p > This is an archive of all the items that I have ever hex-edited or
2023-07-07 15:25:36 -07:00
converted for the various P.F.Magic Petz, Oddballz and Babyz games. It also
includes my stuff for Petz 5 which was created in 2002 by Studio Mythos and
is in the same style as the older games. The websites for these games are
now gone -- the new Dogz, Catz etc games which you see at < a href = "http://www.petz.com/" target = "_top" > Ubisoft's Petz < / a > site, and
2023-07-07 16:02:16 -07:00
the various girly games for Nintendo DS at < a href = "http://www.babyz.net/" target = "_top" > their
"Babyz.net" < / a > site are in no way similar to the
2023-07-07 15:25:36 -07:00
original Petz etc games and are not covered in my tutorials. I also do not
have downloads for any Ubisoft games created from 2006 onwards. All that I
2023-07-07 16:02:16 -07:00
have for you of those later games is my < a href = "/carolyns_creations/petz6/" target = "main" title = "Catz and Dogz 2006" > Info

2023-07-07 15:25:36 -07:00

If you want one of my breedz, please don't ask me to convert between dogz
and catz games -- instead, download the relevant package from my "Cat
species in dogz" or "Dog species in catz" pages, read the instructions
carefully and install it. That will fool the game, and you can then download
and play with my various species etc.< / p >

The Petz 3, 4 and 5 breedfiles are all sound-stripped. I've produced

Windows XP, Windows 2000 (or NT), Windows ME users, and people who have some
update to their system that is beyond mine -- if you have some problem with
my breedz that I cannot duplicate on either my Windows 95 or my husband's
plain Windows 98 system, then I cannot help you. If I am able to duplicate
the problem, then there is something wrong with the file that I can (I hope)
fix and of course I shall do my best to do so. If I am not able to duplicate
it, then there is nothing wrong with the file and it is some mysterious
problem related to an incomprehensible alchemy between your operating system
and/or game and my file so I cannot fix it. Sorry. The only thing I can
2023-07-07 16:02:16 -07:00
suggest is a possible fix for you to do for yourself; you'll find it < a href = "/carolyns_creations/crashingxp/" target = "_top" > here< / a > . Windows XP with SP2 has

< p > It came to my attention a while ago that there were Petz 5 versions of
2023-07-07 15:25:36 -07:00
some of my breedz at Nicky's Petzfriends site, and that those versions have
wrong ID numbers etc. Nicky and I eventually reached an agreement which
2023-07-07 16:02:16 -07:00
should fix any problems that people may have with this. Read < a href = "/carolyns_creations/petzfriendsite/" > here< / a > if you would like to know more about
2023-07-07 15:25:36 -07:00
it, and about how to get your pets to breed if you downloaded one of the
"conversions" from her site.< br >
Please note that you < b > do not need to convert< / b > any of my breedz to Petz
5, I make them all available for that game myself. I shall not convert
anyone else's breedz, I do not have the time, but I have "howtos" up for you
to try or you can ask for help on the various forums.< / p >

ever make, plus one breed that I promised years ago and will probably never
be finished, for someone who has already left the Petz Community 8-}< / p >

attention to the Oddballz info which has been sadly neglected. I also need
to gather together various other little howtos, and the breakdown of a .pet
and .baby file, and make them as comprehensible as possible (hah!) so y'all
can fix petz, game-crashes etc.< / p >

< p class = "green" > I've continued to tidy up my tutorials pages; I really hope
2023-07-07 15:25:36 -07:00
that people can find things now. The actual tutorials are mostly written
some time ago and newer available tools etc (such as Tinker, LNZPro 2, my
easy-edit kits) have made things easier, so some of the tuts are more
complicated than they should be, but they are mostly still valid.< / p >
2023-07-07 16:02:16 -07:00
< p class = "green" > Through lack of time, and because I don't breed or show
2023-07-07 15:25:36 -07:00

gals to find out any new quirks in that area.< / p >
2023-07-07 16:02:16 -07:00
< p class = "green" > I also do not, and never shall, make "exclusives" for
2023-07-07 15:25:36 -07:00
individuals. Everything that I make is downloadable for all. To be honest, I
cannot understand this modern fashion for exclusivity. My ethos has always
been to make information and game modifications free for all.< / p >

< p class = "green" > Real Life and a steady stream of sweet, vulnerable
2023-07-07 15:25:36 -07:00
foster-cats and kitties clamour for my attention almost constantly. Hexing
and these games have to come second, and can only be done in small snatches
of free time. So I don't take breed-making requests any more, I just don't
have the time. Really, the answer has to be "no" to requests. However,
anyone can try it nowadays, as there is a choice of several tools, including
LNZPro and Pet Workshop, as well as the utilities at MK& C, Resource Hacker,
and my own Easy-edit packages.< / p >
2023-07-07 16:02:16 -07:00
< p class = "green" > There are lots of good hexers out there on the Internet,
2023-07-07 15:25:36 -07:00
some of whom are kind-hearted or will do requests, so if you cannot bear to
try hexing yourself, just ask around the various message-boards and forums.
Look in my links pages for some forums that you can start with. I know the
links pages are badly out of date as of December 2006, but I don't have time
to fix them right now.< / p >

needed to get interested in site making. Of her original design all that is
left is the calculation of graphic sizes on the breedz pages -- left to
myself, the graphics would have been all different sizes! Her original
design was beautiful, but I couldn't see it in my favourite browser so in
the end it had to go. But I am very grateful for her work, as without it I
might never have repaired this site when we moved to the new server.< / p >
