Somethings you need to know about the updater:

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 K-9 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)

It will not update pregnant K-9s. The reason being the updater can potentially abort the pregnancy. Waiting to update your pregnant K-9s will not effect the K-9s functions, they will continue to eat, move, animate etc. When they give birth to the kennel, then you can update them. The kennel will be the old version and need to be updated when birthed.

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.

Update Instructions:

Single Updater: Place the updater near the K-9 that isn’t updated and click the K-9 and click the update button. The K-9 will be updated and the settings will be the same as before the update process. DO NOT PICK UP K-9s OR THE UPDATER UNTIL IT HAS COMPLETED THE UPDATE PROCESS

Bulk Updater: Place the bulk updater in the middle of your K-9 breeding area, click the updater and adjust the settings you want your K-9s to be set to after the update process, then click the update K-9s button on the updater menu. This updater has the ability to update all K-9s that are not v3.0 in an entire region. However, depending on sim performance it may only do the K-9s in a 96 meter radius. Do not remove the updater until it has completed updating all K-9s and the hover text above the updater reads FINISHED. DO NOT PICK UP K-9s OR THE UPDATER UNTIL IT HAS COMPLETED THE UPDATE PROCESS

Please be proactive when updating and remember there is a deadline!!

AFTER FEBRUARY 19, 2020 WE WILL NO LONGER PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR K-9s THAT ARE NOT v3.0 K-9s MUST BE UPDATED TO V3.0 TO FUNCTION PROPERLY!

Manes and Tails!!

Happy February everyone!!

Today I want to spotlight the different Mane & Tail traits for our horses!

Let’s talk about the Mane trait first. The Mane trait comes from breeding “Starter Coats” together or one starter with any other horse. Please note that the Mane trait CAN be passed on.

Now let’s check out the Tail trait. The Tail trait comes from breeding “Starter Coats” together or one starter with any other horse. Please note that the Tail trait CAN be passed on.

The Roach Mane and Pinned Tail came out with Version 5.0 on September 3, 2014.

For a better look at these traits check them out on the wiki https://horse.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Mane_%26_Tail

With the 3.5 update the Wild Hair trait was added!! This trait provides the ability for a horse to acquire the mane/tail from other horses. This trait is like other hidden traits in that whichever one your horse has is the one that it can pass. The Wild Hair trait comes from breeding “Starter Coats” together or one starter with any other horse and the Wild Hair trait CAN be passed on!

If you would like to see some of the Wild Hairs that the community has shared you can check them out here. https://www.theamarettofamily.com/forums/wild-hairs.39/ You can also share a photo of yours if you don’t see it there!

Till next time this is Snookie hoping you have a great weekend and a terrific Saturday!

Happy Breeding!!
