Some reason my Petz won't show up in the Adopted Petz folder and they won't even show up in Returned Petz folder.

Where is your game installed?
And have you checked the Petz directory's settings to see if it's showing you hidden files?

Where is your game installed? And have you checked the Petz directory's settings to see if it's showing you hidden files? It’s installed where it’s automatically installed and I’ve always had my hidden folders visible.

Have you checked other folders? Could you have accidentally moved the file?
You can try to search for "Petname.pet" (without the quotation marks). If that doesn't work, you can try to search all pet files ("*.pet") or any files matching your pet's name ("Petname*"). You can even try to search outside of your Petz folder, just in case.
I hope you find them quickly!

Alright, so your game is probably installed in Program Files? Installing it somewhere else (like My Documents or C:/, anywhere that isn't in Program Files works) will help avoid issues like this. Program Files is hardwired to "protect" any files within it that the average layman won't know what to do with, so you can't accidentally break any of the stuff you have installed. Unfortunately for Petz, it is a bit overbearing, and you can lose access to your petz files (I've completely lost petz this way!). I'm not sure if there's a way to undo it hiding your petz from you once it does, sometimes you'll still find them or they'll be filed away somewhere else, but installing the game somewhere else should keep it from happening again in the first place.

Its odd since every other Petz is fine besides Petz 3, I can't even move Petz 3 since if I do it ask to run as administer what I can't do cause then it'll stop the game from working.(Petz 3 is in Program Files (x86)) Petz 4 is in documents. Petz 5 is in Program files, it works normally. My Petz exist in game but not in viewable files, I've tried looking them up while in Program Files(x86) to see if there hidden somewhere like how the Suitcase key is hidden in Petz 5. I found where my petz are hidden, they're in C:\Users\sophi\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\PF.Magic\Petz 3\Adopted Petz

I'm glad you were able to find them again! So weird that Petz 3 places your pets in AppData! I only have Petz 4, but it places them in a folder within the Petz 4 folder. Do you need to give admin permission to run Petz 4? If not, you won't need to give Petz 3 permission to run from your documents folder and you're likely just being asked for permission to move it. I don't know what the best way to move P3 is, though; like I said, P4 puts everything in one place and not scattered around the computer.
