Amaretto Breedables Customer Connection

Happy Monday everyone!  Today I wanted to take the opportunity to talk to you all about updating and keeping your animals up to date!! Did you know that Amaretto only supports current version animals! This means if for any reason your breedable goes through support it will come back the most current version! Animals will only eat and breed correctly when the are current version. Let me list the current versions for you below :

Amaretto Horses: Version 5.5

Amaretto K-9: Version 2.2

Amaretto Barnyard Birds: Version 3.0

Amaretto Ponie Pals: Version 1.20

Amaretto Barnyard Ducks: Version 1.2

Amaretto releases an update for one of the breedables in order to add new things or to fix small issues.  Updating is easy and can be quite fun and exciting so let me tell you a few things about updating your breedables. You must update your breedables to take advantage of all fixes in an update. Now let’s take a look at how to update a breedable…

How to update your breedable?
It’s simple:
You will have to pick up your FREE updater at any of the Amaretto locations once an update has been released. Even when it isnt uda

Single Updater:
Place the updater near the animal that isn’t updated and from the animals menu select the update button. The animal will be updated and the settings will be the same as before the update process.

Bulk Updater:

Place the bulk updater in the middle of your breeding area, click the updater and adjust the settings you want your animal to be set to after the update process, then select the update button on the updater menu. Do not remove the updater until it has completed updating all animals and the hover text above the updater reads FINISHED.

***DO NOT PICK UP ANIMALS OR THE UPDATER UNTIL IT HAS COMPLETED THE UPDATE PROCESS***
Somethings you need to know about the updater:

1. It will not work if there is more than one updater out. It gives you a message that there are 2 updaters out please remove one. If you continue to try and update your horse It will give you another error message and have you pick one updater up and reset the other. (touch and wait 5 seconds to reset)

2. It will not update pregnant animals. The reason being the updater can potentially abort the pregnancy. Waiting to update your pregnant animals will not effect their functions, they will continue to eat, move, animate etc. When they give birth then you can update them. The bundle, kennel, or nest will be the old version and need to be updated when birthed.

3. The updater will not work on sims with a high load. Dilation needs to be above .65 and region fps must be above 25 for the updater to work. You will get an error message that says the sim dilation is too low, we have enclosed a sim monitor that will display these values for you. Just rez on your sim next to the updater.

4. Sick breedables can also be updated using the updater.

5. You can only update animals that you own.

You can also check out the how-to-videos on the website for easy instructions on updating:
