Here is a copy of this months March ARU Schedule! Look we were able to add back Saturday classes at a new time!!

We are sure that all these lovely ladies will do a bang up job teaching our loyal breeders at ARU!

Hello Amaretto!! It’s Monday, the start of a new week here at Amaretto and we have some pretty exciting news. Our beloved University is looking for a few graduates that would be interested in teaching classes. We thought it would be good for you, our community as well as for us, which will free up sometime for our staff to work on all the new and exciting things happening.

For those interested, there are a few stipulations:

1. The instructor must be a graduate from A.R.U.

2. They must be a current breeder of all of the Amaretto Animals.

3. Be able to use voice for class.

4. Be reliable.

So if anyone is interested in applying for a position, please drop me, Josaphine Cooperstone, a note card with your name, when you graduated and a little bit about your breeding history.

I look forward to speaking with all of the applicants soon. Happy Breeding!!

How do we become happy and in the mood?
Going out to dinner, maybe a movie…. dancing…
Lock the door and turn the lights down low
Put some music on that’s soft and slow….
ooohhh sorry, I was listening to Josh Turner …… back to breedables

Lets start with horses:

1. If your horse is at least 7, riding is one of the ways you can increase the happiness. Just ride your horse some if he or she seems to be unhappy and not gaining happiness

2.. Rezzing out a salt lick with your food will make your horses happier. This stat booster gives a 1% increase in happiness over time. One Salt Lick last 2 horses 2 weeks.

Also you have two other consumables at your disposal to help raise the happiness level some.

A,. Sugar cubes, when used give your horse a 15% increase to the happiness. You can only give this consumable to them once in a 24 hour period.

B. The second consumable that affects happiness also affects all the other stats of the horse and that’s the Amaretto Cocktail! This wonderful little concoction is just what your horse wants to feel happy and ready to start producing bundles by raising energy, happiness, and fervor by 5% and decreasing nourishment by 5% ensuring that your horse can stay up late with his favorite mare! Note that again this consumable can only be given once every 24 hours.

If you want to read up on the consumables available, here’s a link http://wiki.amarettobreedables.com/index.php?title=Food,_Salt_Licks,_and_Consumables

Now the K-9s

1.Playing with your K-9 will make your K-9s happiness increase over a length of time!

So if you have a K-9 that is feeling a little blue you can use the hud to bring up their happiness so they will be ready to breed.

If you do not have a Amaretto K-9 hud you can get one by clicking on your K-9, then help, and get hud

Ava has made a K-9 hud video for a visual explanation on how easy it is to use!

http://amarettobreedables.com/videos/7/9/amaretto-k9-hud

2.The Amaretto Brand Chew Toy gives a 1% increase in happiness over time. One Amaretto Brand Chew Toy last 2 K-9s 2 weeks.

The K-9s also have 2 other consumables which you can use to help happiness increase

A.The Rawhide Lollipop will increase one of your K-9s happiness by 15% . This consumable can only be given once every 24 hours.

B. Mega Woof Vitamins This wonderful little concoction is just what your K-9 wants to feel happy and ready to start producing kennels by raising energy, happiness, and fervor by 5% and decreasing hunger and thirst by 5% ensuring that your K-9 can stay up late with his favorite gal!

If you want to read up on the consumables available, here’s a link http://wiki2.amarettobreedables.com/index.php?title=Food_and_Consumables

And now the Barnyard Birds

1.Orange Rinds

These delicious orange rinds are used to build the vivacity of your Barnyard Bird! These are important as your Barnyard Bird must have 85% or higher vivacity coupled with 100% vigor in order to breed.

2.Vivacity Corn will increase one of your birds vivacity by 15% This consumable can only be given once every 24 hours.

3.The Poultry Glow provides a 5% increase to Stamina, a 5% increase to Vivacity and a 5% increase to Vigor. This consumable can only be given once every 24 hours.

Happy Thursday everyone! Who is ready for the weekend!? We’ve almost made it! Today I wanted to take some time to help with two of the most common questions I see in the Amaretto groups.  “Help my breedable isn’t eating!” or “Help my breedable is sick!”  There are quite a few things you can try to get your breedable eating again but remember if all else fails you can always file a ticket on the Amaretto Support site and have a CSR help you look into it.

Let’s talk a little about the food for your breedables first.  Breeder Food is for Horses, K-9’s or Barnyard Birds that you want to breed once they reach 7 days old.  Pet food is used when you do not wish to breed your animal.  If  you decide later that you do wish to breed them it will take 7 days of them eating Breeder food for the Pet food to wear off.

Using Food:

1. Rez the Food (Breeder or Pet) within your breedables set range. (A breedable’s default range is 5 meters)

2. You can click the Food to change options and see remaining %. Options include Owner only, Group only, and All.

A.  Owner only: Will only be consumed by the owners breedable.

B.  Group only: Will only be consumed by breedables in the same group as the food/water is set to.

C.  All: Any breedable within range of the food/water will be able to consume it.

Once the Food has been completely consumed it will disappear.

In case your breedable gets hungry:

1. Re-rez fixes 99% of the issues.

2. If the land is set to a group, are the breedables and food set to that group? Some sims have it set that no scripts can run unless they are set to the right group as the land.

3. If the land isn’t set to a group, then check that the breedables and food are set to the same group as each other. So often the food is in one group and the breedable in another. The food is set to feed only those in the same group and before you know it you have sick breedables

4. Check to see if the breedable is set to the type of food out (You can check this in their More Stats)

5. Re-set home position.

6. Sometimes giving them a Horsey Snack for horses, K-9 Treat for K-9s, will help them start to eat so you may also want to try this.

7.  With Horses you can also try riding them if they are old enough.

*****Remember your breedables only eat once every 43 minutes so you may not notice a change immediately, be patient it takes 3 days for a Breedable to reach 100% hunger.

If your Breedable still doesn’t eat after trying this, you will need to file a support ticket. Please include a location URL, so that we can come out and see them, in world. Please make sure that we have permission to come on the land.

Remember if you put a Breedable in your inventory it will get hungry.

Your Breedable will eat once every hour. If food is not present their hunger and thirst will rise until it reaches 100% (or in the case of the Barnyard Birds until it reaches 0%) at which time they will get sick, this will take 3 days

A Healing Kit for horses, Vaccination for K-9s and Flu Shot for Birds can be used to heal your breedable or they will eat their way out of sickness, Horses and K-9s in approximately 3 days and Barnyard Birds take 4 days.

To use a Healing kit, Vaccination or Flu shot, simply rez the item nearby your sick Horse, K-9, or Barnyard Bird click your breedable select consumables and select Healing Kit, Vaccination or Flu Shot. Before your eyes your Breedable will go from green back to perfect health.

So there you have it all you need to know if your breedable starts to become sick.

Happy Breeding & Feeding!!

Until next time….
