Petz 4 Fooler Instructions

*Cough* Is the mic on? Hello? Oh, ok great. Um... Testing... 1... 2.. 3...
All right. Welcome to the Petz 4 fooler. I... I know that you would expect
Carolyn to have done this already, but with her being busy and all, I beat
her to making the fooler. Now most of the files you need were done by me,
but of course Carolyn has already released some of the files that we also
need.

Ok, first of all we need to choose a place where we are going to place
the files. You can make a folder anywhere you want on your hard drive.
Personally I'll make my folder right on the C: Drive. Ok, I made my
folder and named it Petz 4. See?

C:\Petz 4\

This will be the home of your Petz 4 game. Ok, next we need to start
downloading some files.

First we need to take the files contained in this zip and copy them to
our home folder. My folder now has these files...

C:\Petz 4\smapi.dll
C:\Petz 4\UVocab.dll
C:\Petz 4\verbassert.dll
C:\Petz 4\vtcommon.dll
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Intro Retail.dll
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Clothes\Gray Sweater.clo
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Clothes\Maroon Sweater.clo
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Clothes\Orange Sweater.clo
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Clothes\Pink Bow.clo
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Clothes\Pink Sweater.clo
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Clothes\Plaid Sweater.clo
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Clothes\Red Sweater.clo

Awesome. Now we need the exe... Try looking on the page you downloaded
this fooler for a link named 'Modified Petz 4 exe for Menu Access'. Now,
just to warn you, but this file is big. My system says it's 1.35 MB, so
you might need to leave your computer on for a bit.

All right, the download is done. We now need to place it in the correct
spot. For me it is...

C:\Petz 4\Petz 4.exe

Now we need to get the Petz 4.dll. This file is crucial to the game.
I looked on Carolyn's site and found the download known as the 'Petz 4
mice easy-edit kit'. There should be a link to it on the page you
downloaded this as well. Anyway download it to your computer. Just
another warning for you, but this set is huge too.

Ok, done. Time to place it in the home fooler. I'm not going to list
every single file, just the two new directories and the dll.

C:\Petz 4\art\
C:\Petz 4\ptzfiles\
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Petz 4.dll

Wonderful! Ok, now that those are in, it's time for another download. Yay!
It's the files that control the Dogz and Catz. You can choose if you want
Dogz, Catz or Both. Here's what you need...

If you want Dogz you'll need these files...
Behavior Files for Dogz 4 & 5 (Dogbehaviours_d4_d5.zip)
Dogz 4 Rez File (Rez_d4.zip)

If you want Catz you'll need these files...
Behavior Files for Catz 4 & 5 (Catbehaviours_c4_c5.zip)
Catz 4 Rez File (Rez_c4.zip)
OPTIONAL: Original Bunny for Catz 4 (Bunnyorig_c4.zip)

Now we have everything we need except one. We need to get the required
playscenes. You should see a link named 'Easy-edit Playscenes' on the
page where you got this fooler. If you go there, you will notice five
links. We need all five for the game to function. So start downloading
them all.

Ok, all five are done, right? Well, we now need to place them in the
home folder correctly. Just copy the contents of the downloads and
paste them in the home directory. If it shows you any dialogs, just
keep clicking "Yes to All".

All right. Here's what was added to my computer.

C:\Petz 4\Resource\Area\Adoption Center.env
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Area\Clothes Closet.env
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Area\Editor.env
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Area\Family Room.env
C:\Petz 4\Resource\Area\Toy Closet.env

Also some stuff was added to the Art folder, but that really doesn't
need to be listed.

Ok, now is the moment of truth. Double-click Petz 4.exe. You might
get some error about IBM Viavoice. That really doesn't matter, so
just check the "Don't show me this again" checkbox.

If you get some error about Verbassert.dll, then I can't help you. I
personally am cursed with this error, so I have to run Petz 4 in my
sister's account. What a pain, huh?

The game will run, but it will be pretty dull without any petz to
play with. You can look through Carolyn's site or my own for some
breeds you can install into your game.

Anyway, you shouldn't need to upgrade the game with the patches since
my modified exe is already version 4.2. I hope you enjoy Petz 4!
