Got around to downloading Petz 5 last night. I forgot how much I love this game:)

I'm teaching my 6-year-old niece how to play Petz. She immediately picked the cat I named after Reva from Star Wars as her favorite, and has decided she's a queen, so I had to make a quick custom throne room for her.

I would sell my soul to play Dogz 5/Petz 5 again you all have no idea

[rubalotl]

The games of all time.

I just wanted to make a list of all the games I played as a kid.

Petz 5 (Catz & Dogz)

This might have been the first ever game I played on a PC, I think it was our neighbor that installed it for me and I played it so much. I was always trying to get kittens and puppies and it was so exciting to get that big red heart to pop up on the screen.

Zoo Tycoon

Probably my favorite childhood game and the one I spent the most time playing. A true masterpiece.

Zoo Tycoon 2

I didn't play the sequel as much and I only remember having the base game, no expansions. But I really enjoyed it too, but I think it was quite buggy for me.

SimPark

What I remember most from this is that ugly animated frog that would occasionally pop up to give you advice. Idk why but I loved spamming animals everywhere.

SimSafari

I don't remember playing this one a ton, your camp existed on its own map, and to get to the safari map you had to build a road for a safari car to drive into the wall of the camp map. I thought that was weird.

I always hear about people that played Rollercoaster Tycoon and SimCity, but I never played those. I wanted the animal games.

Been a minute since I've posted petz things, so I thought I'd do a quick little advertisement for my adoption site.

We've got Hybridz(Black Mist is a great place to go to read more about those), wildz, catz, dogz, litterz, singles, OW, mixies, pure bured, brexies.

I bred my first kitten from my naturally raised profile!

When I brought Pumpkin and Butternut out for the first time as adults Butternut spent a lot of time pouncing on Pumpkin.

But I guess that Pumpkin found it endearing because they quickly bred.

Butternut seemed to be even more angry during her pregnancy, but Pumpkin was patient and sweet with her<3

And on May 17, 2023, Squash was finally born! She's constantly being watched by an over-protective mom and an adoring dad.

When they're not busy only having eyes for each other...

Bonus Post! Some Pics From The Earliest Dayz

One of the first pics I took when I started (re)playing Petz 5 and it was the newly adopted Spamton and BigWingz wrestling. The two were adopted together and I still consider the two to be brothers in a way.

Not too long after getting Spamton and BigWingz, I decided to mess around in the AC, seeing some of the breedz and I found a shiny! I wound up adopting that shiny, Blaze, and picked up Crystal the Furfrou as well! This also meant I could put PetzA to use and could have the four of them out together!

And then I couldn't resist and adopted two more petz: Kensa the Siamese and Cobalt the Russian Blue. Both of them use OW files, one for more variants and one to fix a glitch but I still considered them my "vanilla" adopts from the bunch.

I also quickly discovered just how jumpy spamcatz are. Really? A water bowl?

This was also my first experience with "evolving" breedz, right away there was a change with Blaze starting to evolve into a proper Houndoom!

I decided to continue playing with all six the day after and took them all to the beach. Inevitably, some got wet which lead to the first time Spamton curled up from getting spooked! BigWingz wound up being a bro by getting him to uncurl!... By tackling him into a tussle!

Another play session over in the living room lead to a caught mouse and a nap time where half of the petz went to sleep and left their "partners" to me and each other.

The next day I opted to have the pairs exit the carrying case separately. For Spamton and BigWingz it only felt appropriate for the two of them to head to [[Number 1 Rated Salesman1997]]'s shop. Where they proceeded to do drugs in the Trash Zone!

Crystal and Blaze, on the other hand, went on a pirate adventure with Peg! The two decided to have a Pokemon battle while they were there after one of them decided to claim a bone as treasure! To be fair: It was a really good bone!

And while the two scurvy dogz had their Pokemon battle, Peg had a battle of his own. He regrets bringing that parrot, darn thing just spits obscenities! At least that's what Peg says.

Speaking of scurvy, the two get some appropriate snacks for the occasion. These scurvy dogz are scurvy-free!

And from a tropical island to a dry, dry desert palace: Kensa and Cobalt head to Arabia to meet Jones!

Jones was quite polite with the kittenz, giving them toyz like this plush Cyndaquil and just being a delight.

The same could not be said of the snake. At least Kensa didn't like the snake, I certainly did! Definitely my favorite thing about visiting Arabia!

And as a last note: A little spotlight for the mice! When I get the opportunity I like to feed treatz to the mice and, eventually, I even named the two. So, we have Reshie the white mouse and Zekkie the gray mouse! Not visible in the pic but my cursor was right where Reshie stood up to sniff me, at the time of the pic I had already earned the little squeakers' trust!

FUCK WITH ME

Figured out how to recolor bandanas (and have sprites that don’t crash my game)! 

BANDANAS FOR ALL.

Bandana base by Vampyre Petz. Their site has been inactive for about 7 years with no contact info, so I’m going to assume recoloring and sharing with proper credit is okay.

There are other programs to use, any hex editor I Believe will work but I'm not familiar myself with that type of hexing. The most common programs(the ones you'll be able to find help in the easiest) would be

LNZ Pro (LNZ)

&

PetzWorkshop (PW)

Both are from Sherlock Software. Free download.

Also from there if you don't already have it is PetzA which is a life saver. Highly recommend. And Tinker if you want to get into toyz hexing.

For hexing I also highly recommend Brynn's Autospotter(for random spots) and the anchor utility(it is a life saver for anchoring and texturing paintballs especially if you have more than say a few).

They can be downloaded at fleabagz.

These three were done using all the above programs. They aren't breed files, just petz but still.

Yessss play petz again it’s so good

Ikr, I love it!!!!! I played Dogz 4 and Dogz 5 when I was a kid, I loved taking pics of them and dressing them up and making those cute little webpages haha

Later on, I got back into it and started downloading hexed breeds and playing around with that. I've been wanting to make my own hexed breeds but idk how to do that, is there a program I'd need to use?
