Amaretto Breedables Customer Connection

TGIT! Thank goodness it’s Thursday!  That means it’s time for another Breedable Spotlight!!! This week’s is Red Hot! That’s right we’re going to talk about the wonderful projects involving the red traits.  I think the red traits have been popular for quite some time because of the beautiful “vamp” horses that the community had such a great time breeding.  Now with the addition of many more red traits the possibilities for making gorgeous horses with them has increased astronomically!

Personally I have a few projects going with the red traits.  Of course I am trying to add the red bridle and bloody wings to my black horses with red socks.  I have about 3 different variations of red eyes going with them, just because they all look super cool and I’m trying to branch out from only having Garnet eyes.  My favorite and the one giving me the hardest time is the Ritual eye.  It looks amazing and should really make the black and reds pop! Thanks for letting me take a picture of the Ritual eye on a gorgeous Percheron DamianaArima Resident!

My absolute favorite new project with the reds has to be my Red Icelandics with bloody wings and red socks.  I am trying to put a cool eye and the red bridle on them.  As you can see from the pictures below they really look amazing.

I have seen many different projects out in the markets using the red traits and they are all extremely lovely.  I have talked with many who are working with red traits and have so many great ideas for them.  As you can see from the picture below Robbydiggler Resident has a beautiful line of white horses with red bridles, hooves, wings, hair and of course the extremely sought after red horn.  Thank you for sharing a picture of this gorgeous horse!

I hope the pictures send you all running to find the next great red project!  I can’t wait to see what the community decides to put together next, your creative with the traits available is a never ending source of inspiration for myself and many others!

Until next week Happy Breeding everyone!

Twist it up and Happy Breeding!

Hey everyone I hope that you are enjoying a lazy Sunday! I wanted to take some time out to tell you guys about the importance of updating!

Why update you ask? Well……….
*Amaretto only supports current version horses! (this means if for any reason your horse goes through support it will come back latest version!)

*You must update your horses to take advantage of all fixes in a update.

*To breed for twist horses your horses must be current version.

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.

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 horses. The reason being the updater can potentially abort the pregnancy. Waiting to update your pregnant horses will not effect the horses functions, they will continue to eat, move, animate etc. When they give birth to the bundle, then you can update them. The bundle 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 must be healed before you can update them.

5. You can only update animals that you own.

Now you guys should be all ready to update your breedables! Happy Breeding everyone this is Ava over and out!

Until next week Happy Breeding !!!

Happy Thursday everyone!  Hope you have all been enjoying a wonderful week of breeding while anxiously awaiting the next Breedable Spotlight!  Well the wait is over it’s time to shine this week’s spotlight on what is shaping up to be one of my most challenging projects ever … rainbows!

I have spent more time than I would care to admit standing around humming “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” while staring at the pretty rainbow eyes, rainbow wild hairs, rainbow wings, rainbow socks and now the beautiful rainbow bridles available on the horses.  I go out and look around in the markets and it seems there are a plethora of rainbow based projects community members have been working on for some time. I see most projects are using white horses as the base and many projects are adding wings and pretty rainbow wild hairs. I have finally come up with a rainbow project I want to work towards however I just cannot decide what eye I like best so I am going for more than one.  This is another great thing about Amaretto breedables you can give yourself plenty of options!!

My project is not as elaborate as many of the members of the community but as I have found time and time again, less traits does not equal easier! I like to see the rainbow traits on both white and black horses so I am working on both.  I am trying for more than one pretty rainbow eye, the rainbow socks and rainbow bridle on a double gleam long/long white or black horse with a Peace branding.  I have some pictures below that show some of the pretties I’m working on!

As always I look forward to hearing from you about your special projects!  I hope these spotlights encourage everyone that reads them to think outside the norm and breed your own happiness!

Until next week I wish you all Happy Breeding full of peace love and rainbows!

A Null trait is an “Invisible trait”, a placeholder.

Below is a list of the Null traits available for the Horses, and what each null replaces.

Brand Null
Hair Gloom Null – Holds the place of Hair Gloom
Coat Gloom Null – Holds the place of Coat Gloom

Below is an awesome picture of a horse with Null Traits.

Here is a list of the available Null traits for the K-9s, and what each replaces.
