Personality Values

Personality values are the building blocks behind how Petz behave and are largely dictated by breed. Each breed has set parameters between 0 and 100 for a given trait, and each individual Pet from the Adoption Center will have a a randomly generated set of values within those parameters. This allows for unique variation while still keeping an overall believable breed distinction.

The bulk of knowledge about personality values comes from Shaina of Kismet, specifically from this thread on the RKC Petz Forum that is cited heavily in this article.

Personality values for individual  files can be viewed using GoalDescriptorAnalyzer made by Reflet of Yabiko. It can be downloaded from the Petz Hacking & Modding Discord server here.

Personality Traits as Hex Values
Personality traits are presented in a specific order within the game files but are presented in alphabetical order within this wiki for ease of reference.

Personality Value Ratings as Hex Values
The strength of a given personality value in an individual breed file is determined by one of seven numerical values seen when the breed file is viewed in a hex editor.

Acrobaticness
Dogz with 0 Acrobaticness will be trotters, and Catz with 0 Acrobaticness will be floofers.

Acrobaticness may be linked to how well Dogz can catch the Flying Disk Toyz.

Confidence
Dogz with 100 Confidence will puff their chest out like Bulldogs.

Catz with less than 50 Confidence will cower and shake like Orange Shorthairs.

Dogginess
100 Dogginess in Catz creates tricksters.

Finickiness
Finickiness higher than 50 in Dogz will give them an inclination towards a strutting Poodle walk.

Insanity
The only breeds that uses the Insanity trait are the Chinchilla Persian and the Desert Lynx.

Kindness
Petz with 100 Kindness will have sleepy sickness.

Messiness
100 Messiness leads to Alley Cats' permanent sickness and fleas.

Unused Traits
Calicos are the only PF Magic Catz breed with no unused traits.

Personality Values in Unibreeds
