NightShade's Petz

A #Petzblr for the PFM/UBIsoft PC game #Petz I play #Petz4 and #Petz5

[shadensp]

Realized this blog doesn't have an intro post! Shame on me.

I'm Shade. I run NightShade's Petz, a petz fan site, and Tabor, a Babyz fan site.

If you don't know what petz is, I'm sorry. It's a PFMagic game for the PC. Later baught by UbiSoft. It goes along with Babyz and Oddballz. Check out the petz wiki some time. It's got a lot of information.

Cram is my boy! He's my profile picture. My favorite pet. And even has his own toyhouse page.

Really all this blog is for is posting about petz and Babyz as the mood strikes me and reblogging other petz bloggers posts.

I'm a member of most of the petz forums and discords though honestly my activity level is very small. But I can always be tagged and I'll usually see it.

This site is dedicated to the game "Petz". Don't know what Petz is? That's fine! Check out the Petz Wiki

Tabor

  This site is dedicated to the game "Babyz". If you don't know what Babyz is just click the button below.

Everybody Hates Chug, part 3

Alright we are back on this, part 2 is here.

Hera

Hera is a beautiful Alley Cat from @shadensp (I have to do a post about her later that isn't filled with hate sorry).

Of course every issue seems to come from food....

That's it!

Clover

This beautiful cat comes from Amanda @ Cargo (and I'll have to make a proper introduction for her later too).

For whatever reason, Chug kept running into her over and over again while they were playing.

Chug why did you go out of your path TO RUN OVER HER...... TWO TIMES!?!?!

Clover didn't seem to like mind too much??? I dunno...

Runo & Shasta

And I briefly introduced Chug to Runo & Shasta (who I have posted about on this blog).

And of course food was involved so the meeting went not super great.

Will Chug find a friend?

(yes he does!)

Edurre Meets Roe

Continuing from our last adventure with Edurre.... we'll see how Edurre (from @charmmepetz) gets along with Roe, the sheepdog I adopted from @shadensp

The path of disaster....

Yeah it didn't go well.

Not even the butterfly can save this.

Emilia Harvests Carrots

Finally, after days of growing a garden, it's time to profit off of harvested carrots with the goal of making babyz food:

If only Emilia could... stop eating the carrots....

[thorplayspetz]

Where's My Money?

Emilia is practicing her shake down tactics so she can open her market stall.

Don't mess with her. She smiles after murdering.

Larisa

Back in 2019.... (wow we're going farther back this time; oh just you wait),

I adopted Larisa during the Duke's Group 2019 Advent Calendar, from @shadensp as part of their brexed catz with showing lineage.

I was scared to pose an Alley Cat because they can be a lot of work, but she gave me a pose right away so I promised to show her!!! (and then I didn't show her until 2024 💀).

NSP's Nothing Inspires Forgiveness Quite Like Revenge Larisa

I finally decided to look into her show lineage and get ready--

Dad's Side

Owner: @shadensp Showname: PRKC's I Want Some Hot Stuff Call Name: Hot Stuff PKC#: P148899

From his PKC registration, I found that Hot Stuff's mom is fully titled which is an achievement! Both of those catz are owned by Susanna/ Primrose.

Mom's Side

Owner: @shadensp Showname: PRKC/Dux Interitio's All I Ask for Anymore Call Name: Maombi PKC#: P146507

Their pedigree is found on the PKC website.

Maombi's mother, Witz's Calm before the Storm of NSP "Peace",

is owned by @shadensp was adopted when Witzy@witzworld hosted a Holiday Gameplay Contest on PCG in 2011, and bred Shade two catz for the gameplay contest. Shade posted the gameplay contest on their website and it is an adorable read: Peace Gameplay Contest. Both of Peace's parents are found on witzworld Calicos: Vodka and Mercurio.

Mom's Dad's Side

Going up PRKC's Could It Be side of the family tree, all of those catz are owned by Susanna/ Primrose, until the last 4, who all belong to @shadensp and have incredibly nostalgic prefixes:

Showname: SilverToo Errors of Misfortune of NSP Call Name: Trials PKC#: P129361 Adopted from Megan@SilverToo

&

Showname: Sheba's Odd Little Reindeer of NSP NCP Call Name: Vixen PKC#: P129464 Adopted from Shebaatje on PCG

&

Showname: WP's Two-Toned Kitty at NSP ICP ChPC Call Name: Bicolor PKC#: P124944 Adopted from Meredith@Washed Pants

&

Showname: Witz's Smoke a Joint of NSP NCP Call Name: Joy PKC#: P130525 Remember above when Witzy@witzworld hosted a Holiday Gameplay Contest on PCG in 2011, and bred Shade two catz for the gameplay contest-- this is the second cat!! And Shade also posted this on their website: Joy Gameplay Contest. Both of Joy's parents are found on witzworld Calicos: Heinz and Misery.

Misery is apparently also special to Witzy as having gone through several Gameplays!

Omg omg petz!!!

Petz 5 was the first game I ever learned how to mod and update system files with!!!!

I am curious if I might be able to find and download the game using my og disk even though my laptop doesn’t have a disk reader.

Can I ask for your favorite developed dogz breeds, both your favorite that are based off real dogs or wildlife and your favorite fantasy ones???

It’s like midnight here and I’m just so happy I saw the post you added links to and hoping I might be able to find one of sites I first started importing petz out of, just having a ton of fond memories : )

While I'm not sure where to hunt down the p5 version of the game you can get p4 100% for free and download it perfectly legally from Polygondwanaland or from the PKC hosting archive(you have to download the demo then patch)

Petz was the first game I ever knew about modding in too! Before it I thought any modding would 100% break games or just be a way to cheat.

As for breeds, if there's a specific one you're looking for Petz Breed Directory is an amazing resource(it was on my other post too). You mentioned old sites you used to go to, many sites have been lost/moved over the years so it's possible they're not around anymore. However, The Petz Archival Collection Discord Server does have a ton of breeds, toys, even some old downloadable adoptions from back in the day and might be worth looking at.

Picking my favorite breed is so hard!

Real breeds that are super petzy I love the FBD Rough Collie and Shetland sheepdog, Dahlia who runs Spellbound has also made a super cute OW of the sheltie with lots of color variations. She also has one of the Iola Smooth Collie and Sunshine Aussies which have been a community favorites for a long time. She also has a surprise alley cat file I absolutely adore inspired by the PDH surprise Lab, Dane, and dalmatian ows.

The community as a whole tends to lean to p4 over p5 for content but you can still bet the p5 breeds in p4 thanks to modding, my favorites are the personality modified ones from Kizmet. Phantasmagoria has an absolutely adorable GSD file, and one of my favorite dalmatian OWs(the spots grow in when the pups grow!) and Oasis has probably my favorite Golden OW. Oasis also has some of Lida's files that aren't up on Hextraordinary.

Speaking of OWs - Hollowed Kingdom has some scale swapped catz OWs which is great for breeding mixies because it allows for personality swapping to happen because the SCPs are linked to scales! For catz OWs I also absolutely adore Cargo's patchy calico and BW ows.

For wildz I absolutly adore Rafa's LTPs which can be downloaded on the Seeing Star's file archive. I prefer v2 myself but since those require hexing I know a lot of people enjoy the V3. and Manda's peafoul file has my heart and soul along with her pygmy mouse file.

Honestly there are so many files out there and new ones being made all the time, I some links on the first page of my own site - NightShade's. And then there is the Petz Site Directory too.

Ferr Find the Inner Strength "Atilla"

My new dog from @pfcolliez, Atilla! I'm showing her over on Petz Show Club (a discord based petz showing server). She's not Conf standard but there are regular dogz shows she should do great in...if she would stop over posing.

Thank you again pfcolliez! I'm loving playing with a new file! (Well new for me)

[leafkinz]

omg stop flirting and take care of ur child

[leafkinz]

took all the "not breeding" catz out at once and immediately knew it was a mistake >_< anyway new little guys their names are stripes and pouncer :p

[shadensp]

New PSC Conformation Champs

Okay not new new because I'm bad at updates but the newest ones I've gotten updated!

For those who don't know Petz Show Club Conformation is a type of petz showing hosted on the discord Petz Show Cub that runs similar to PKC did back in the day(meaning based off standards for RL breeds not just posing).

Meet Mr. Sassybritches and Sweetpea

I'm obsessed with Abnormality's "Rough Collie" hexie. Meet my first two adopts: Mr. Sassybritches and Sweetpea.

They enjoy dressing up. In true Collie fashion, the more ridiculous - the better. Pun intended.

OH gosh, the PetzA plugin will let you take everyone out at once! Sheer Chaos!!!

Ok, I age-reduced her pupz, but I'm still taking them all out together. Organic gameplay is probably best for these guys.

An interesting note: two of these (10!!!) pupz have no brown on their snouts. Abnormality noted that it may not be possible for these breeds to have no tan on their face. Granted, these are Gen 2 dogz, not Gen 1. But they are purebred Abno Collies.

Some helpful links

For those who are interested in getting started (or back into) Petz, here is where you can find some downloads:

How To Access Petz

The PF Magic Petz games have been abandonware for more than 20 years. Game CDs can be purchased secondhand, but they are still susceptible t

I have quite a few hexie breed lists by now, but here's a great jumping-off point for some hex breeds you can add:

Petz Breeds Directory

A directory of breedz available for the original Petz games including Petz 1-5 and Oddballz.

Sherlock software is a fantastic jumping-off point for mods and tweaks: https://www.sherlocksoftware.org/page.php?id=4

Since I'm so into Abnormality's Collies, here's the link if you'd like to enjoy them as well!

Possibly more to come. But as of the time of this writing these are good functional links. Have fun!
