Baby´s High Chair

Finally, the first mesh product for the babies is ready, and I´m very happy with the result. As always you can find your copy on the marketplace or the clinic of your choice.

I really hope you enjoy it

About this High Chair
This High chair is build with the new mesh system; to view the object correctly you will need a mesh compatible viewer and its meant to feed grown up Tatu Babies with solid food.

To feed the baby, baby should be sitting on the baby poseball and then the parent should sit on the chair also to start the feeding animation. A spoon will be given by the object for you to wear.

The baby should be at least at stage 3 so he can eat solid food, it won’t work on smaller babies.

During feeding babies could play with the food and spill it all over the place.

With "/1 show" and "/1 hide" you can show/hide the baby poseball

High chair in progress

The high chair it’s on the way, it will still need a lot of work but will become the first full mesh product. As you can see I’m maintaining the polygon count as low as possible  and I haven’t began the texture work.

UPDATE


A lot of work later, the highchair is almost ready. You will find it tomorrow on all vendors. Here is the result already uploaded to SL. Remember that this is a mesh model, so you will need a mesh enable viewer to see the item correctly.

Lost Babies search engine

I made some small changes to the Key reminder. Nothing too big, but now its more integrated with the rest of the webpage. Now it shows more information and on a more clear and nicer way.

Also I found a bug on the car seat carrier, please don’t try to change the animation under edit because it will stop working, that part of the menu was intended just for the stroller and will result on an error. This will be fix on a future update but you can fix yours by reseting the object.

I will also would like to advice to anyone buying a second hand Tatu, that even if the baby is transfer the ownership isn´t. This means you are probably being scammed and your baby could disappear on a few days once the real owner recovers him. So please, only get your babies from the marketplace or one of the official vendor or I won´t be able to give you any kind of support if you run into trouble

2.11 Update - Ready, steady, GO!

Changes

This update adds support to the stroller

Fixes the bug where you couldn´t save the status while wearing the baby

It´s again possible to feed the baby without wearing him. But be careful of not feeding too much the baby. I know that some parents with too many babies are having a hard time because the last update limitation and even if it´s not as realistic as wearing the baby I won’t judge the way parents like to play. Still if you do mass feeding you will have a hard time if you don’t check closely the status of all the babies.

The top value of 120 is gone, and you can raise the personality to any number. But believe me it will be hard to maintain those levels over 120.

Probably some other stuff I don’t remember right now.

And check this out! Now the update disc has a progress bar!!!!!
(Special thanks to Minerva for all her feedback)

IMPORTANT

If you need to update more than one baby, you need 1 disc per baby and do it one at a time. Don´t try to update more than one at the same time. This time anyone can make the update and the family list won´t be lost anymore on each update.

After making the update,rez your baby again (without saving the personality) for him to load all data again.

Don´t try to update unborn babies or they will be lost or update from other version that 2.06. If you do, you can loose the baby´s personality or need a medic kit to heal him.

If the process stops at some point without reaching 100%, press "update" again.

You can also get the latest version by recovering your baby

Stroller and car seat carrier release


Hello all parents!
The stroller and the carrier are already available and you can find it on the marketplace or on any of the reseller’s clinics. The come on the same pack as separate items.

I´m pretty happy with the product and I think the importation to SL was a real success. It´s fully sculpted and it doesn´t use mesh because a lot of people are still using old viewers that doesn´t support them.

Also tomorrow the new update will be available for all users.

Just remember, it goes on the R Forearm

Stroller progress


The stroller is coming out nicely. I´m not sure about the dinosaur theme and would like some feedback, but the textures are almost done. Some color variations to go, and a lot of scripting to make it useful and you will probably enjoy a stroller for the end of next week.



As you can see the modeling is the same from last time, but now it has all textures. Next step, is to upload all the model, sculpts and textures to SL.


UPDATE
Just to let you know that the stroller it´s ready. It comes with 6 colors to choose, a custome ao, a bear on the bag that acts as a toy and a diaper which works as a diaper bag. So it can fit on any avatar it comes with 6 different animations for the avatar and 6 height positions for the chair.

Oh yes, and brings it´s own car seat which you can also dress and use to carry the baby.


Sorry, no twin stroller for now.

About updates, angry parents and dirty diapers


Hello everyone

I´m very sorry that this new update process didn´t go as expected. The beta tester group was a nice idea but there is no point on having parents to beta test changes and bug fixes for months for something so changing as SL.

Is too bad I didn´t get more reviews and that beta-testers where expecting something else (free stuff?) and went away shortly. But I was looking mostly for bugs and not opinions on changes, those are also welcome but without both all the work would fail.

I know some parents are mad because the personality drops on their babies, but they must realize that these babies were designed to work with values from 0 to 100. Anything beyond that just creates power babies with no real challenge and who weren’t affected by their surroundings. Babies like that could be left unattended for days on a sim without getting sick.
I realize that some parents just like the sense of achievement of the continues growth and I promise it will still be present but in a way that it won´t affect the gameplay experience as super babies does.

About the Diaper-Gate *SIGH*, I can´t believe how this became out of proportion. It´s not that the bath doesn´t work anymore, it just cleans a little less. I could have made that the bath cleans 100% and the diapers 120% and it would have been exactly the same. The diapers existed from day 1 as a way to support the development of the baby but even then I gave the option of a bath set. That option still exists.

Some parents has accused me of just making this change just to get lindens. They should remember that things as diapers and med kits makes possible to deliver new free updates and features. If it wasn´t for those, you wouldn´t get any free updates, but you would have to buy every half a year a new baby and start over.

Also I have to maintain an external database for all the babies, you wouldn´t be able to recover lost babies and Second Life prove to be unreliable when storing baby´s personality and other data. And I can tell you that diapers, and med kits doesn´t even pay this last one, but at least it helps.

Diapers and med kits existed with a price, not to make a profit out of it, but to give the parents a sense of responsibility. That helps creating the bond between the parent and the baby so it can become something more than a doll.

All these changes were made just to make the babies a little more realistic. And even when buying food has become basic for chickens, horses, rabbits, etc. I´m always kind enough to leave a back door open.

2.10 Update – Equilibrium

Thanks to the achievements and other statistics created since the 2.09 version, was possible to create a whole new baby experience. Mass parenting will be greatly limited, and even punished. As you can see it brings a lot of changes and all parents should make it.

Changes
Before this update the caring of the baby was greatly now brainer, keep everything up and the baby will grow. Now the center of attention is in the balance of what the baby needs. If for example, the baby is feed when he doesn’t have hunger, this will act negatively on his personality, and the baby´s growth.

The take to inventory button has been renamed to SAVE to explain better what it does.

You can now only feed the baby if you are wearing him. At least this will be true until the feeding chair is release.

A “HIDE DIAPER” button is added at the clothes menu, this will enable parents to hide the diaper under the clothes, but it will be actually there so it will prevent stealing other peoples diapers during baby parties.

Fixable baby position, now the position corrections of all poses are stored, so no matter the shape of your avi, you can correct the deviation for a natural look, and the position will be recalled on each baby animation. This way you don’t have to correct the position everytime you change the animation.

Bath change: Now the bath works by steps but is unable to reach a 100% hygiene. This is to reflect that even after a bath you need to change your baby and place a new diaper if you want to reach a 100% cleanness.

The TATU GUIDE has been rewritten. This controls the crawl and walk of the baby.

Short Sleeves: Now its possible for other builders to make short sleeves on their clothes and other clothes designs.

Illnes: Flu and other virus will populate SL, the number of virus is short and if the babies get them, it will affect the health and fun for some days till they develop antibodies (it´s not fun to be sick). Flu virus is a random event that won’t affect stage 0 babies and that can pass from one baby to another. The transmission is random and will affect more big children with low constitution. If you don’t want to roleplay the illness a medic kit should solve it.

It’s still possible to obtain personalities over 100, but it will be harder to maintain it on that way. Some parents can have a really rapid drop on the personality till they reach the balance between what the baby needs and what they give to them. Personalities over 100 are much easier to lose levels than lower ones. It can be frustrating at first but will bring equilibrium to the game. As babies with personalities over 150 where an overkill and taking away all the challenges. Thats why at the current time the current top value possible to achieve will be 120. So dont worry if you experience a sudent drop.

Hope you enjoy

IMPORTANT
If you need to update more than one baby, you need 1 disc per baby and do it one at a time. Don´t try to update more than one at the same time. This time anyone can make the update and the family list won´t be lost anymore on each update.

After making the update, rez your baby again for him to load the personality.

Don´t try to update unborn babies or they will be lost or update from other version that 2.06. If you do, you can loose the baby´s personality or need a medic kit to heal him.

Design Studio Walkthrought


Building new clothes is easy and fast with the Design Studio and is possible to share your creations with your friends or sell them.
You don’t need to design full outfits as you can design just a specific part. For example you could design just baby shoes, or shirts, neko outfits, etc. To do that the default wood texture is ignored by the Design Studio when it uploads the clothes to the baby. Still have in mind that when designing your clothes you must use all prims of that group. Not doing that will cause some errors on the baby´s clothes once you try to dress / undress him. This also means that short sleeves clothes won’t be possible.
In the case you mix up the baby´s textures you can always reset skin and clothes textures to the original ones on your´s baby´s edit options.
These diagrams will show you the correct prim groups you must complete when designing your own clothes.
The Design Studio is copy / no transfer so you can make as much clothes as you wish. Still if you wish to transfer your clothes to a friend or sell them, transfer boxes are available. Be shure to test the transfer box clothes are correct before using the “finish” option as you won’t be able to change them after that.
Both the Transfer Boxes as the Design Studio come with an automatic rename function to easily track your creations. Once your final design is saved to the transfer box, just add a nice photo to show your creation.

Updates:
From 2.10 update of the baby and 1.2 of the Design Studio. There is a texture that represents the skin of the baby. Use the default wood texture as a transparent texture, and the skin will be shown on that particular prim.

This is for all of those custom creators that asked for short sleeves and other great possibilities.

Beta Testers Group


The new update will be available soon so I´m opening a new user group for anyone who want to become a beta tester for the baby. The name of the group is "Baby Tatu - Beta Testers" and is open for everyone. Please report bugs on this link or by notecards so I can release the final version to all users.


Become a beta tester and receive the new updates and new features before anyone else.
The beta testers update discs will be distributed through this group.
For being a Beta Tester ou will need to own the latest version of Baby Tatu and know how to recover your baby in case of bugs or other unknown errors.
Updates can be unstable so update at your own risk, but all help for making this baby better is greatly appreciated.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011


Hello loving parents

Even if you don´t see me around SL I´m always working on new stuff for you. A new big update is on its way with a lot of new features, fixes and tweaking. Designers of clothes will be now able to make short sleeves. Things like mass caring as some call it, will be limited and illness will be added.

As on RL babies will be able to catch flu and develop antibodies depending on various factors. This hopefully will add new roleplay opportunities for all parents and new challenges for grown up babies.
Parents of newborns shouldn´t worry as small babies who breastfeed have very low chances of getting sick. But bigger children could get sick and spread the flu.

Also I´m finishing modeling a very modern stroller, but it will take a time till I texture it and make the necessary scripts. But I think you will like it and get some feedback.

And now for something completely different

I have been with some free time to script something fun, it isn´t Baby related but is a funny avatar based on the Nyan-Cat meme.

Hope you enjoy!

Small Update - Server Side

I made a small update on when the growth happens. Before this was determined by SL but now all this happens outside SL.

We were having some problems were some babies didn´t grow on time even when they had the enough amount of points. Hopefully this will solve this problem.

On the other side until next update reaches you won’t get any message that your baby has reach the next level, but growth will take place on all versions of the baby.

This is all handled server side so you don’t need to do any update for your babies.

Baby Tatu Review on Gameinatrix

Gingir from Gameinatrix has done a wonderful review of the baby.

Baby Tatu Is Too Cute!

Oh yes, the baby fever hit Gingir recently. Thankfully, I now have had my booster shot to virtual babies and crazy baby daddies. On the upside in my travels and searches for the perfect virtual baby, I found the most amazing thing ever, Baby Tatu. A virtual AI baby that eats, poops, crawls, walks, cries and grows! This is the next big thing in SL babies.

I of course immediately messaged the creator to see if we here at Gameinatrix could get our hands on one of these adorable bundles of genius coding. Efimero Aker is the mind behind Baby Tatu and he was generous enough to set me up with not only Baby Tatu, but the hud, diapers, toys, clothing maker, cradle, raddle and a whole slew of BETA items not yet available in the Baby Tatu store! Oh yes, baby Ghoststar was well on it’s way to being a reality. (...)

HUD FAQ


To enable the HUD, on your baby´s menu go to edit / HUD. This must be done on each baby and if the baby is reseted or you think the HUD isn´t receiving the information of your baby.

The Baby Tatu´s HUD Works on the entire sim so you don’t need to be near the baby for the HUD to work. You can even use it on your partners baby.

You can only listen to one baby at a time but you can change at any time the baby to follow by touching the baby´s name. It´s also possible to wear multiple HUDs to show all babies at once.

The pick up button will only appear if you are the owner of the baby and you aren’t wearing him already. Touching this button will attach your baby from any location on the entire Sim. If the baby doesn´t have attach permission from the owner this operation will fail.

If the baby fails to update the information on the HUD a warning will appear letting you know that the information shown on the HUD could be misleading.

Lost Babies Recovery



From version 2.0 it will be possible to recover your lost baby from inventory problems, stolen babies, broken scripts, etc. Still have in mind that this is a last resort measure but from version 2.06 is possible to recover all the baby´s information.

At the first rez you will get a product Key, save it well on a notecard as it will be the key you will need to give to the recovery machine to get your baby back. All babies have a different key so, in the case you have more than one, save them both. Only the original owner of the baby (the one that rez him first) will be allowed to recover a baby. So new fathers should decide who will be as it will be the rightful father in the case of a partnership split.

Babies will still be transfer so anyone can enjoy it, but for security measures only family members and registered Baby Tatu Doctors will be able to handle them. DO NOT TRANSFER YOUR BABY TO NON FAMILY MEMBERS Not doing this will activate the recovery features.

How do I recover my baby?

Visit any of the clinics with recovery machine and ask for their help. Once in front of the machine touch it and follow the instructions. Once the product key is asked, tell it on open channel and let the machine do the rest.

A folder will be given to you with the recovered baby with the latest version. As soon as you rez him it will be given to you the option to start over or recover his old personality. WAIT UNTIL THE BABY REGISTER ITSELF BEFORE CHOOSING EITHER OF THE OPTIONS Use recover and paste the same old key to recover the old personality.

From 2.06 babies family members are recovered so you dont need to add avatars again, but it will shure wont hurt to check.

If you don´t remember the key of your baby choose the list option for a list of all babies registered to you and choose the one you desire.

Recovering and upgrading LITE versions

Lite versions are cheaper, on the budget babies but with various limitations and can´t be recovered , still all the baby information is stored on the Baby Tatu´s servers. By paying certain amount to any recovery machine, an upgraded full version will be delivered.

To do this, try to recover a LITE version and pay the amount asked when told.

Errors messages

Error  101 - The baby´s key you are using isn´t the correct one. If you don´t remember the key use the LIST function to list all the babies registered to you.

Error  102 - You already recovered a baby today, you need to wait till tomorrow for recovering again. The recovery machine is a last measure for fixing babies, its not a way for healing or reseting the personality for free.

Error  105 - Possibly a duplicate baby or problem with your account baby´s information. Please read 

Error  106 - You are trying to recover a LITE version of the baby, LITE versions can´t be recovered without paying an upgrade to a full version

Error  106 - Right now its impossible to upgrade a LITE version to a 3.0 version. You might upgrade it first to 2.5 and next day to 3.0 if you wish to by paying both separate updates.

Error  150 - The upgrade promotion is over so it´s impossible to change the version of your baby right now. Keep in touch reading all Baby Tatu news as it might return in the near future for a short period of time.

Error  404 - The server is out of reach. Try again in a few minutes or next day.

Error  499 - Unnable to connect to server, the server itself could be down or in maintenance. Try again in a few minutes or next day.

Error  500 - The server is experiencing some problems. Try again in a few minutes or next day.

2.07 and HUD Update

A new update is finish. It adds some improvements to the Baby / HUD integration plus fixes a french language bug. It also adds the ability to pick the babies from the ground using the HUD. This was a request from various mothers who´s babies like to get lost arround the sim.

I promise to upload soon the instructions for the HUD to this blog.

IMPORTANT

If you need to update more than one baby, you need 1 disc per baby and do it one at a time. Don´t try to update more than one at the same time. This time anyone can make the update and the family list won´t be lost anymore on each update.

After making the update, rez your baby again for him to load the personality.

Don´t try to update unborn babies or they will be lost or update from other version that 2.06. If you do you can loose the baby´s personality or need a medic kit to heal him.

Killing some bugs

After tracking the problem I was able to solve the issue that prevented some babies to grow each week. It was server side so you won´t need any update on your babies and they should grow on next rez. Also i´m solving some issues with french language and some other minor bugfixes so expect a 2.07 update really soon.

As you should know the HUD is already on sale and I will prepare a video to show all functions on him.

Thursday, May 5, 2011

Almost done


Finally the HUD is finish
Probably tomorrow it will be available at the marketplace and i promise some videos to see it in action

Working on the HUD

As you know, the HUD option has been available on the babies for quite some time but the HUD itself was never finish. But now that i have some free time I have been working on the new HUD design and hopefully it will be available on some few weeks.

The HUD itself will have its own updates so I can add new features and it will be copy / no trans.
It´s still a work in progress but here are some pictures of the original illustrator design and the probable final look after some photoshop magic.

Ideas and reviews are always welcome.

2.06 Update

Lots of changes under the hood on this update but most users won´t even notice any change.
To prevent some common SL issues with the babies, a lot of functions where taken from SL to an external Database. Now babies search, every time they are rez, all information outside SL. This means that even if you reset the baby no information is lost.

New Features:
After this update the Family List will be handled in a different manner. Even recovered babies will remember old family members and if you try to add someone already on the family list, it will be taken from it. Before that the only way was to erase the entire list, not being able to substract a single individual.


The “Store to Inventory” Button is now always visible because it has a new use now. This baby will do a backup of itself every 4 minutes or when something important happens. Still if you wish to save it into the inventory “Store to Inventory” will force a save for next time you rez him.


Baby can take a while to load with the new update, but it will improve stability.

IMPORTANT
If you need to update more than one baby, you need 1 disc per baby and do it one at a time. Don´t try to update more than one at the same time or you can get some errors and lose one of the baby´s personality.

Only the original owner, or a "Baby Tatu Doctor" should make the update as the family members list will be lost.

Don´t try to update unborn babies or they will be lost or update from other version that 2.05.

About news and updates

Hi all mothers and fathers.

You have probably noted that the clinic isn´t available right now and it will continue this way till further notice as all services were handled by Queenmadonna and there is no reason to maintain a giant sim and Clinic without any services. I´m still developing the baby and new product and you will be able to find everything you need at our Marketplace or any of the retail clinics.

As you can see I have been making a little order on the blog and now you will find at your right landmarks to clinics with the recovery service.

I´m also please to announce that shortly there will be available a new update for the baby that expects to solve some common SL server issues related bugs. Day by day I trust less how SL handle the information of the babies, that’s why I´m moving them to an own server. This is a bug related update so don’t expect new features.

The test trials will probably begin next week with some users that want to help looking for bugs and if nothing strange is found in a few days it will be available for the rest of the parents.

2.0 Português FAQ – Como fazer?

Bem-vindos ao novo Baby tatu 2.0. Tenham em mente que o baby tatu 2.0 é um upgrade da série 1.x e embora mantenha a expriência/personalidade do bebê e a maioria das opções é um bebê completamente novo.

 
As coisas mais importantes a ter em mente:
A primeira vez que colocar o bebê no chão (rezz) receberá a chave de registo do bebê (aparece a amarelo no chat apenas para o dono ver registration key = XXXXXXXXX). Não guarde o bebê enquanto este não fizer o registo completo e surgir a chave de registo no chat e a guardar num notecard (fazer o registo é essencial para poder recuperar o bebê e sua personalidade, embora a chave também possa verifica-la no blog do baby tatu). Se perder o seu bebê ou por algum motivo este se desconfigurar/”partir” pode recuperar o bebê na clínica com essa chave de registo. Caso tenha dúvidas peça ajuda a um dos médicos que o acompanharão durante todo o processo.
Adicione o pai, amigos e familiares à lista da família do bebê antes do lho passar ou o bebê considerará que foi roubado e terá de usar a chave de recuperação para o ter de volta.
Apenas o avatar que registou o bebê pode recuperá-lo, por este motivo adopções e vendas de bebês já não são possíveis, se forem efectuadas na mesma não é responsabilidade nossa mas sim do sl recuperar o bebê (caso não mantenha contacto com quem lhe passou o bebê).

Como´s:
 
Nome do bebê:
Para dar nome ao seu bebê coloque o bebê no chão, clique no bebê escolha menu editar (se ainda não colocou seu menu em português clique edit e depois languages e portuguese) e selecione nome, terá depois uns segundos para colocar o nome no chat e dar enter. Ao mudar o nome desta forma ele vai mudar o nome do bebê não só em cima da cabeça do bebê mas renomeia o nome do prim. Se o nome que colocou for muito grande e no bebê apenas deseja que apareça um nome mais pequeno pegue o bebê no colo e repita o processo com o nome mais curto, nesta opção apenas o nome que surge em tag no bebê será alterado e o prim manterá seu nome (se utilizar esta opção primeiro renomeia com o bebê no chão e depois no colo, se fizer ao contrário ao mudar no chão muda a tag tb do bebê).
As necessidades do bebê
As necessidades do bebê são representadas por partículas que saem do bebê e são bastante explícitas.

A mamadeira/biberão significa que o bebê está com fome
A espiral surge quando o bebê precisa de mudar a fralda ou de um banho (acima de 60 o bebê começa a dar “pums” sem parar enquanto não for limpo)
Uma carinha triste significa que o bebê está tristinho
Zzz quando adormeceu (se deixar chegar o cansaço a 100 ele adormece sozinho e só acorda quando tiver descansado tudo). Para colocar a dormir ou acordar clique no bebê vá no menu acções e faça acordar ou adormecer
Corações surgem quando o bebê se sente feliz e amado, ou quando sobe de nível
Uma cruz vermelha surge quando a saúde do bebê está abaixo de 50
Uma cruz com uma caveirinha significa que seu bebê está doente e com a saúde a zero, precisa de uma vacina para se curar.
Kit vacina verde – recupera o bebê normalmente, saúde e personalidade (depois dar um bom banho até colocar a diversão do bebê a 100 evita que o bebê fique birrento)
Kit vacina azul - recupera totalmente a saúde mas altera a personalidade do bebê
Kit vacina vermelho – reseta a personalidade do bebê a zero (recém nascido), é o único que pode ser dado mesmo que o bebê não esteja doente mas depois de usado não tem como recuperar a personalidade anterior do bebê por isso verifique sempre se é o que deseja
Estas partículas assim como o bebê são sensíveis ao lag da land ou dos servidores do sl por isso se não têm a certeza do que o bebê necessita diminua sua velocidade e vá verificando o seu status no menu A-life.  

O Menu
Clique no bebê e o menu aparece

Menu Acções
Neste menu encontra todo o tipo de interacções para usar com seu bebê.
Colocar / Tirar fralda – para mudar a fralda do seu bebê primeiro tem de tirar a suja (se esta estiver visível). Também é útil para ocultar a fralda quando não deseja que esta se veja por cima da roupa do bebê.
Acordar – Ajuda a acordar o bebê se este estiver a dormir, para o caso de querer mudar de posição e este não mudar porque está dormindo acorda-o e depois volta a adormece-lo.
Adormecer – Faz com que o bebê durma apesar do cansaço que tenha
Amamentar – amamenta ao peito, uma das opções de amamentação para além da mamadeira. Está opção desaparece quando o bebê fica mais velhinho
Arrotar – Ajuda o bebê a se sentir melhor depois de comer
Brincar – divirta-se com seu bebê e ele se divertirá consigo
Embalar – Embalar seu bebê faz com este se sinta seguro e confortável
Balançar – embala seu bebê!
Ombros – Leve o bebê a passear ao seu ombro.
Todas estas acções afectam o comportamento do bebê de alguma maneira, não existe um manual de como as usar simplesmente sejam pais.  

Roupas
Este menu permite-lhe vestir e despir seu bebê. Permite também colocar ou tirar a chupeta, mantinha, as orelhas e cauda neko

Alife

O coração e cérebro do vosso bebê onde surge toda a magia do baby tatu.
Curar – Para curar seu bebê coloque um kit de vacina junto do bebê e clique na opção heal (curar), se a saúde estiver a zero (excepto na vacina vermelha) a vacina é dada ao bebê e este cura-se. Nota: o bebê recupera com a diversão ~30 recomenda-se dar-lhe um bom banho e colocar a diversão a 100 ajuda a que o bebê não seja influenciado pela vacina, bebê mais bem humorado
Velocidade – se sentir que seu bebê está sendo muito exigente ou no início enquanto aprende tudo sobre seu bebê pode colocar a velocidade dele mais baixa. Existem 3 velocidades: lento, normal e “psico mom”. Embora a velocidade permita que o bebê crie xp mais rápido não esqueçam que os ciclos do bebê não são regulares então não se pode prever a duração dos mesmos.
Personalidade – esta é a personalidade do seu bebê. Alguns valores mais elevados são melhores que outros, por exemplo, o apetite é suposto diminuir com o crescimento. Os valores vão de 0 a 100.
Status – permite verificar os níveis e necessidades do seu bebê.

XP – Pontos de experiência necessários para alcançar próximo ciclo. Cada vez que um ciclo melhora vai fazer com que sejam necessários mais pontos de xp para alcançar o próximo.
Depoimentos (deposições da fralda) e fome são avaliados de forma inversa, quanto menores melhor.


Novo no 2.X:
O crescimento do bebê não depende dos valores da personalidade mas do estágio de crescimento (entre 0 e 7). Os valores do status podem subir e descer mas o tamanho do bebê vai depender sempre do nível de crescimento do bebê.

Mudar a fralda
Colocar a caixa das fraldas no chão ou usar o saco de fraldas, tirar a fralda suja e clicar na caixa de fraldas ou se usar a bolsa clique na bolsa e faça transfer

A saúde do seu bebê
Preste sempre atenção ao status e mensagens do seu bebê. Valores mais elevados ajudam o bebê a se curar mais depressa assim como valores mais baixos podem fazer que se magoe. Não deixe o bebê sozinho pois ficará doente, se deseja deixa-lo a dormir no berço compre um com modo de hibernação (este ficará num modo como se estivesse no inventário). O seu bebê virtual necessita de atenção e se passa dias sem lhe dar nenhum mimo ele pode ficar doente e necessitar de vacina para recuperar. Normalmente basta brincar com ele de 5 em 5 dias mas atenção que os bebês são imprevisíveis e às vezes temos surpresas, assim como na vida real imensas situações podem acontecer. Uma boa solução pode ser deixar o bebê com uma baby-sitter ou algum familiar se precisar de se ausentar por longos períodos de tempo. Não esquecer sempre que lhe der a vacina dê um bom banho e coloque os níveis do bebê a 100 (principalmente a diversão).

Crescimento
Como é que bebê aprende a gatinhar e sobe de nível de crescimento?
Isto consegue-se quando o bebê atinge certos valores de status todas as semanas. Não vale a pena perguntar que valores pois todos os bebês são diferentes e os cuidados parentais também então acima de tudo vai depender de vocês e dos cuidados que prestam ao vosso bebê este crescer mais depressa. Questões de lag também o vão afectar. Se nessa semana bebê não alcançou os números necessários para aumentar o crescimento não se esmoreça e continue a tentar que os bebês são diferentes e vai conseguir, esta apenas será uma forma de ficar a conhecer ainda melhor o seu bebê e suas necessidades.
No nível 3 o bebê vai conseguir se sentar sozinho
No nível 4 vai aprender a gatinhar
No nível 7 vai aprender a andar
Quando o bebê começar a gatinha recomenda-se que antes de o pegar que vá no menu editar e clicar no botão “Pegar para inventario” e depois sim pegar no bebê, questões de sl (se ao pegar o bebê, sem utilizar esta opção, algum dos prims esteja fora de sitio volte a colocar no chão e faça como indicado e o prim vai ao sítio).

Connection problems

I´m sorry. I have internet already but im having some wifi problems that are preventing me from entering SL but I will have that fix in no time. Meanwhile I´m finishing a nice redhair skin with a lot of detail to the minimum pixel. It´s taking a while but it´s worth it.

I promise it will look great and that I haven´t forgotten you
