Welcome to Nixsy Breedables

Nixsy Breedables are interactive breedable pets for Second Life. To work correctly, your pets require a Nixsy Token rezzed out and owned by you.

What you need first

1. 1Attach your Nixsy HUD.
2. 2Rez your Nixsy Token.
3. 3Rez any babies you want to birth. Babies may take a moment to register before their hovertext appears.
4. 4Make sure you have a food bowl rezzed or server food portions owned by the same account. Food bowls and server food portions can be purchased on the main sim or at any satellite store.

Important token notice

• ☆Always keep a token rezzed when pets need to be birthed.
• ☆Always keep a token rezzed when pets need to breed or make babies.
• ☆Always keep a token rezzed when using normal breedable functions.
• ☆Always keep a token rezzed when attempting to swap from static to animesh and vice versa.
• ☆In general, use a token any time a pet is doing more than sitting idle, especially if the pet is unborn.

Family tree pages

Every pet also has a family tree page. Open it from the pet detail page by clicking the family tree button, or click a pet in-world and use the Tree button on your HUD.

Babies are unborn Nixsy pets. They are not live births yet. Nixsy babies do not age, breed, or eat until they are birthed.

How to birth a baby

1. 1Make sure your Nixsy Token is rezzed on the region or parcel.
2. 2Rez the baby or offspring.
3. 3Click the baby.
4. 4Click Birth.

Once birthed, the baby becomes a live pet.

Important notes

• ☆There is no extra confirmation step.
• ☆Make sure your token is rezzed before birthing.
• ☆Do not pick up or delete the baby after clicking Birth.
• ☆A pet’s age begins when it is birthed in-world, not when the baby was first created.
• ☆Babies can stay unborn forever.

Nixsy pets eat one food portion every 6 hours. Each food portion gives the pet a 5% lust increase.

Food options

• ☆Food bowls
• ☆Server food portions

Using food bowls

Food bowls can be purchased at the main region or any satellite store. After purchasing a food bowl, unpack it and rez it on the ground.

• ☆Only one food bowl is required per owner per region.
• ☆Food bowls are not refillable.
• ☆Pets do not need to be close to the food bowl.
• ☆There is no pet distance restriction for feeding.
• ☆There is no limit to how many pets can eat from a bowl.

Using server food

Server food lets pets eat without needing a food bowl rezzed in-world. Make sure you have active server food portions available when using this method.

Manual refill vendor

1. 1Left click the vendor.
2. 2Select an amount.
3. 3Click the vendor and select Pay.
4. 4Click Pay again to pay the amount shown.

Auto-subscriber

The auto-subscriber can automatically refill server food portions when your portions get low. Grab a free auto-subscriber from the main region or any satellite store, unpack it, and click it to set up either portions or L$ amount. Turn it on and accept debit permission so it can charge you for the portions you selected.

Using food bowls and server food together

You can rez food bowls and keep server food as a backup. Pets will eat from your food bowls first. If your bowl runs out and you have server food portions available, pets will use server food instead of going without food. Server food portions are shown on your HUD home page and on your My Pets page.

If your pet is not gaining lust

• ☆Is your Nixsy Token rezzed nearby?
• ☆Is the pet a breedable pet?
• ☆Is the pet Friends Forever?
• ☆Is the pet retired from breeding?
• ☆If using food bowls, does the owner have a bowl in the same region?
• ☆If using server food, does the owner have active server food portions?
• ☆Is there an available mate? Parent/child breeding is not possible.

Nixsy breeding is based on genetics. The entire 4-generation family tree is used to calculate what offspring can get.

Pets require 100% lust and an eligible partner on the same region, sim, or parcel. Pets gain 5% lust every 6 hours when food is available, so a normal breeding cycle is 5 days.

Basic breeding requirements

• ☆The pet must be live.
• ☆The pet must have 100% lust.
• ☆A Nixsy Token owned by you must be on the same region, sim, or parcel.
• ☆The pet must be able to rez.
• ☆The region, sim, or parcel must have available LI/prims you can use.
• ☆The pet must not be Friends Forever.
• ☆The pet must not be retired.
• ☆The breeding pair must not be parent/child.

Treats and breeding cycle examples

Treats are optional. Nixsy has 5% Treats and 10% Treats. A pet may only receive one treat every 48 hours, so each breeding cycle can include a maximum of two treats.

How to give a treat

1. 1Rez the treat you want to use.
2. 2Click the pet.
3. 3Click the gear icon on your HUD.
4. 4Click Give Treat.

Pairing lets you choose a specific breeding partner. Once pets are paired, they should only breed with their paired partner.

How to pair pets

1. 1Click the pet you want to pair.
2. 2Click the gear icon on your HUD.
3. 3Click Pair.
4. 4Select the pet’s intended partner.
5. 5That is it.

How to separate or unpair pets

1. 1Click one of the paired pets.
2. 2Click the gear icon on your HUD.
3. 3Click Separate.
4. 4That is it.

Important notes

• ☆Pairing is useful when you want two specific pets to breed together.
• ☆Unpaired pets may breed with other compatible pets.
• ☆If a pet is paired, it should only breed with its paired partner.
• ☆If you forest one pet from a pair, the remaining pet will unpair itself.

Owner mode and group mode are used when you want two pets owned by different users to breed without passing pets back and forth.

Owner Mode

Pets in owner mode will only breed to pets you own.

Group Mode

Pets set to group mode can be bred by two different owners as long as both pets are set to the same land/rezz group.

If group breeding is not working

• ☆Both pets must be set to group mode.
• ☆Both pets must be set to the same group.
• ☆The land/rezz group must be correct.
• ☆Both pets must be eligible to breed.
• ☆Both users should have Nixsy Tokens rezzed.

Set Home and Set Range help control where your pet stays and how far it may move. If you do not set a home, the pet’s home is where it was rezzed.

Set Home — single pet

1. 1Move the pet to the point you want as its home.
2. 2Click the pet.
3. 3Click the gear icon on your HUD.
4. 4Click Set Home.

Set Range — single pet

1. 1Click the pet.
2. 2Click the gear icon on your HUD.
3. 3Click Set Range.
4. 4Type the range you want into the input box.
5. 5Click Submit.

Set Home or Range for all pets

• ☆For all pets, click your Nixsy Token and click Set Home.
• ☆To set range for all pets, click your Nixsy Token, click Set Range, enter the range, and click Submit.

Sending pets home

• ☆For all pets, click the gear icon on your HUD and click All on the send-home menu.
• ☆For one pet, click the pet and click One on the send-home menu.

Important notes

• ☆Max range is 96 meters.
• ☆Range is a sphere from the pet’s location, not a flat circle.
• ☆Pets on Animesh 2 will teleport home if they get stuck.
• ☆It is usually a good idea to set home for all pets when they are moved, but it is not required.

Live pets can be in static mode, Animesh 1 mode, or Animesh 2 mode. Pets function the same no matter which mode they are in.

This is useful for photos, events, lower LI/prim use, markets, or personal preference.

How to set a mode

1. 1Click the pet.
2. 2Click the gear icon on your HUD.
3. 3Click the mode you want: 0, 1, or 2.
4. 4Wait for the model to swap. This can take up to 1 minute on laggy regions.

Modes

• ☆Mode 0 Static — 3 LI/prim — no movement.
• ☆Mode 1 Animesh — 21–26 LI/prim depending on model — pet animates in place.
• ☆Mode 2 Animesh — 21–26 LI/prim depending on model — pet walks around.

Rebuild is used when a pet needs to refresh its in-world object, scripts, or appearance from the server. If a pet is not acting right, you can try rebuilding or re-rezzing the pet.

When to use rebuild

• ☆Support tells you to rebuild a pet.
• ☆A pet needs to refresh.
• ☆A pet has an object, script, or appearance issue that rebuild may fix.

Important notes

• ☆Rebuild does not create an extra breedable copy.
• ☆Rebuild is not recommended for Friends Forever pets because there is no 100% guarantee they will remain exactly as they were before rebuild.

Foresting pets is Nixsy’s trade-in system. You can exchange live pets or babies for points that can be used at the Enchanted Forest board/vendors. Each live pet or baby sent to the forest gives 50 Forest Points.

Forest Points can be viewed on the HUD and on your My Pets page.

How to forest through the HUD

1. 1Click the live pet or baby.
2. 2Click the gear icon on your HUD.
3. 3Click Return Pet To Forest.
4. 450 Forest Points will be added to your total and the pet will disappear from in-world.

Important notes

• ☆Forested live pets and babies are removed from your My Pets page.
• ☆Pets sent to the forest automatically unlist themselves from the Virtual Market.
• ☆Make sure you selected the correct pet or baby before clicking Return Pet To Forest. The pet’s name displays right below that button.

The Mass Forester helps send multiple live pets or babies to the forest more easily. It is useful when you have a large number of pets or babies you want to forest.

How to use the Mass Forester

1. 1Move live pets, babies, or both near the Mass Forester, or move the Mass Forester to the pets.
2. 2Click the Mass Forester.
3. 3A particle ring will appear to show the Mass Forester’s range.
4. 4Check carefully that only the pets or babies you want to forest are inside the ring.
5. 5Click Start.
6. 6The Mass Forester will send pets/babies in range to the forest.

If you made a mistake

Quickly click the Mass Forester and click Stop.

Important notes

• ☆Only click Start after checking what is inside the particle ring.
• ☆Do not start the Mass Forester if pets or babies are inside the ring that you do not want to forest.
• ☆If a live pet or baby was forested by accident, file a support ticket with the pet ID or pet name.

The redelivery portal is an in-world object used to redeliver live pets or babies. This is mostly used for pets you cannot find in-world, pets that wandered off, or cases where Second Life failed to rez something correctly.

How to use the redelivery portal

1. 1Find the pet’s ID in-world or on the website.
2. 2Copy the pet ID.
3. 3Click the redelivery portal.
4. 4Select By PID from the menu.
5. 5Enter the pet ID.
6. 6Click Submit.
7. 7The pet or baby will appear in front of your redelivery portal.

Redelivery through a support ticket

If you have redelivery through a support ticket, an Admin or CSR will tell you when your fixed pet is ready. Once staff says the pet is ready, you can deliver the fixed pet again with the redelivery portal. Follow the instructions given in your support ticket.

Important notes

• ☆Redelivery does not create an extra breedable copy. Any duplicate will be marked as a duplicate even if rezzed or redelivered later, or if the original pet was forested.
• ☆Pets sent to the forest cannot be redelivered by you. If you need help with an accidentally forested pet, submit a support ticket.
