FRIENDZOO IS NOW LIVE (for everyone and not just my personal communities)!

behold! the world's first total conversion mod for Petz 4 is here!

petz 4 has been completely decked out and modified to look like a new game, specifically an in-universe "pet sim" (but shhh, the pets are alive...) for our worldbuild, morbit. this conversion would not be possible without the help of gyiyg @yourselfcola and queenie @phantasmagoria petz, along with many other people credited across the website.

but not only is FZ a huge set of mods...it's a forum roleplay as well! there's more on the site, so go take a look!

i'll post more stuff under the cut, but a quick word- while everything on the site is all ages rated, the roleplay itself is 18+ due to being hosted on our forums. please respect this boundary for yourself and our team- but feel free to download any of the cute petz stuff for yourself!

friendzoo's content is downloadable both individually and as a separate install of petz, so you can pick and choose what you want to play with. it's most recommended to get the pre-install if you're doing the RP, considering it'll help you get as much of the experience while not interfering with your standard petz game.

in the friendzoo base game, there are:

21 breedfiles

7 playscene replacements (with day + night cycles for EZLoader!)

190 clothing items (with 300 more available on the website!)

321 playpen background wallpapers

135 toyz

2845 external textures meant for easy modding in the FZ palette (and a lot more on the site!)

and more will be provided over time in the form of regular updates! there are roleplay guides and lots of helpful links on the site itself, so have a good time exploring friendzoo!

Listen. PF Magic’s Petz is the virtual pet game for anyone who wants a low-stress, fun, open-ended, Blorbo From Your Floor simulator.

Abandonware, so it’s easily found as a free download and it’s technically not even piracy! Even if it was, pirating from Ubisoft is always morally correct. Download the installers for every game in the series here at Acid Trip, or a pre-installed copy of Petz 4 with a modern compatibility+quality-of-life mod here at Yabiko.

Unlike many other games (such as Animal Crossing, or browser-based pet games), your petz and the world they live in will not suffer on days you don’t open the game. Petz will only gain neglect if you refuse to play with them on a day where you have booted up the game - a “launch day.” Feel free to take a hiatus, because your petz and their little world will be right where you left them when you feel like returning to the game.

Also, petz don’t die. They literally ran a poll in 1997 asking players if they wanted petz to die like Tamagotchi do, and the players said no. Petz will “run away” if severely mistreated, leaving the game, but old age will not destroy your petz.

One of the most in-depth personality systems in any virtual pet game, with multiple factors determining a pet’s temperament, animations, likes and dislikes, and relationships. Discover your pet’s personality through gameplay, find its favorite foods, and watch it form friendships and rivalries with other pets! The petz constantly learn from new experiences, and training can reinforce far more than just tricks and good behavior.

A robust genetics system that allows for truly unique pets to be bred via breed trait mixing and mutations. “Selective breeds” are a common self-imposed challenge in the petz community.

Extremely lightweight! You can easily hold an entire petz game on a flash drive, and still have a huge amount of space left for other things. This thing was designed to run on slow, old computers…. by 1990′s standards.

Ease of sharing - individual petz are stored as .pet files, which were intentionally designed to be easily shared over email and website services on dial-up internet. Nowadays, you can even share them via Discord. Every .pet file contains that individual pet’s appearance, personality, and memories, and updates every time it’s played with. Sending petz on “playdates“ to other people’s games via this file-sharing has existed for a long time, and now petz players even stream these playdates on Twitch sometimes!

A very active modding community, with community-made tools designed to assist modders like Pet Workshop, LNZ Pro, and LNZ Live. Want a sparkledog, a dragon, or a pokemon? Modders have, and continue to, create petz like this beyond what the vanilla game offers.

Also? Petz fansites are like a glimpse into a world where social media didn’t kill the Personal Website as a concept. The sites in the Petz Community Webring are just a handful of the petz sites that exist out here. Many of them are hand coded, with layouts reminiscent of the best of classic 2000′s web design, while taking advantage of modern HTML and CSS features. Even if you don’t want to play Petz, I recommend looking at petz fansites. They’re just as much art as the mods are.
