33 BEST Quality of Life Mods for Project Zomboid

[@Awpenheimer]

Which mod is your Favourite!?

[@brainfvvck]

Spoon Spear ofc.

[@Awpenheimer]

@@brainfvvck of courseee!

[@raees7776]

All that's related to maps .. even drawing 🔥🔥🔥

[@robertwildschwein7207]

Vanilla. I wannsa play Project Zomboid, not some bastardized version of it.

[@Awpenheimer]

@@robertwildschwein7207 fair, but like any game after hundreds of hours, some small tweaks that do nothing but improve your experience. I see no reason not to

[@liamoneil973]

ive been using the common sense mod for so long i had forgotten that the features were from a mod until this video lol

[@Awpenheimer]

Hahaha

[@seananon4893]

I am a little ashamed of this, but I am exactly the same with the "Vorpal Weapons" MOD. I was watching a KZbinr play PZ for months before I bought the game, he was using that MOD so it was probably the first MOD I ever installed. This was around 3 years ago, I FORGOT it was not part of the Vanilla Exp. LMAO

[@zdspider6778]

I recommend Sapph's cooking mod. It comes with so many cool things and even a blender, which allows you to make smoothies from stale fruits, removing both thirst and hunger.

[@Awpenheimer]

Sounds good! I'll check it out :)

[@Darkstar12p]

​@@Awpenheimercheck out my friend Norby's mods while you're at it. True Music Jukebox and Functional Appliances

[@purelelez]

One mod that I love is "Spongie's Clothing" It allows you to open your jackets and shirts, lift up your hoodie, tuck your pants in your shoes etc... It also changes insulation and water resistance, and adds a few new clothes like jean jackets.

[@Darkstar12p]

Cat's Reading Mod was sadly not mentioned. It's much more superior to read while walking. You can read while walking, gain faster reading while sitting, even faster while sitting on a chair or couch. It even stacks with faster reading

[@Awpenheimer]

ahh I hadn't heard about this one, but it sounds great!!

[@Darkstar12p]

@@Awpenheimer There's some mods that haven't been updated for years but are still compatible with build 41 stable and a multitude of other mods

[@nxmx6ix]

Too much XP, vanilla is better

[@Darkstar12p]

@@nxmx6ix I legit play on x0.5 exp multiplier. Mod is fine and immersive. Especially combined with expanded skill books. The game can be tweaked however you wish to play. Modded or Vanilla. Indie Stone has already expressed major gratitude towards modders. They accept both vanilla and modded gameplay. Both versions of the game are great fun, modded or unmodded

[@t_gabiuel6058]

It's very convenient that you shared the modlist and added time stamps to the video, it makes it so much easier to skip parts about mods that you aren't interested or have already downloaded. Thank you!

[@Awpenheimer]

@@t_gabiuel6058 Glad to help :)

[@jmnero4447]

One thing that wasn't mentioned with the "Has been read" mod. There are a few settings, one I like is the "Auto Marking" setting. This puts a symbol on things you pick up. A great way to determine what you are missing with a glance! The way I used to do this in the vanilla game was expand the books that I had in storage and then I'd be able to spot what I was missing because the stack wasn't expanded. Unfortunately whenever you exit out of the world, you have to do it all over again. But with this mod it is so much easier!

[@ransomdekafenya2584]

I mean let's not talk about the fact that holding a 5gal jug in your hand and filling it with gas introduces a very new and volatile way to die. ..

[@petermartinez4399]

On top of Dig for Worms, you can also add Wormblob where you can craft a wormblob meal. It sates 20 hunger, but makes you terminally stressed and depressed.

[@Ollav2k]

Such a good video. Very informative, good clear speaking. And you only got 2,5k subs? You truly deserve more than that!

[@Awpenheimer]

Thankyou!! Appreciate it :)

[@Vas1]

Damn, "Swap it" is the mod of my dreams! Thanks for letting us know!

[@Awpenheimer]

yesss, amazing mod!

[@TotallyNotElPresidente]

I've used so many of these mods for so long, that I actually forgot they were even mods to begin with.

[@Dfarrey]

Thanks for this video. I've seen a few of these mods in use by other KZbinrs, but digging through their mod lists to find them without knowing the names was just too much work.

[@Awpenheimer]

Glad I could help! :)

[@pavelZhd]

18:21 - you can remove furrows though. Right clicking an eptly furrow while having a trowel gives you an option.

[@za5adlo701]

Pretty good list. I use most of these mods as my default qol mods for any setups im using. But thx to your clear explaning of some mods, ill add couple new to it. Ty man

[@Awpenheimer]

Glad to help! :)

[@conedx]

good video! i already have 90% of them, but the 10% i didn't seem great. you nailed the "best quality of life" choices.

[@Awpenheimer]

Thanks! :)

[@РыжаяТварь]

I recommend using "I might need a lighter" instead, because it makes the mechanics of the mod trigger a chance of injury while doing so. Feel less op to me, honestly.

[@pavelZhd]

Cool list. Though I am a little upset Vanilla Vehicles Animated didn't make the list. Because not only is it more Immersive, but having a visual cue you are driving with your hood open and so every impact goes straight into your engine condition is a pretty important thing for vehicle longevity. And don't for get the infamous "started driving too fast so door didn't actually close but you don't see it" problem from vanilla that ended a bunch of runs...

[@Awpenheimer]

Ay yeahh, true. I’ll be making more videos like this so will definitely include it next time!

[@cr4yv3n]

4:55 more meta is ABSOLUTELY NOT what this game needs. Stop trying to meta the fuck out of the game into the "perfect build", it is not supposed to be perfect, any of them.

[@nerfherder4284]

I really like weapon condition indicator. Even if it's just the one I've equipped. It also shows the condition and damage dealt and ammo count.

[@Awpenheimer]

Yeahh, very helpful mod!

[@koffinkat666]

Cracking Good video mate, I am falling in love with Zomboid all over again because of this!

There's a mod that allows you to craft katanas from crowbars, making crowbars infinitely more valuable.

[@SinkyPooper]

Theres a fort east of luisville? Ive literally setup right next to that spot before. Wanted to build a house there.

[@otisdriftwood]

The common sense mod that opens cans with other tools/knives has the unfortunate downside of breaking my weapons. It defaults to a machete sometimes even when a can opener is nearby.

[@MedicJey]

Alot of these i highly recommend, nice video!

So I just started using the map symbols stuff because I thought that was really useful But when I loaded back into my game a lot of my symbols, not all, But a lot of my symbols are now just popping up as big black squares. How do I fix this?

[@Awpenheimer]

Hmm haven't encountered this before :/ I would check the comments on the workshop page for the mod, you could also ask there and I'm sure someone will be able to help!

[@ReD-zc3uu]

[@andrewdrennan9436]

Worms is totally unnecessary if you have a skilled forager/outdoor person. The new system is very friendly for characters that have the abilities and it's not hard to get them if you don't start with them either.

Players on map is bugged. There are massive black blocks that appear on the map that you cannot go through. Awesome concept though, it should be vanilla.

[@Vikmik0]

if youre setting up a new server, you can go to its settings -> players and set MapRemotePlayerVisibility to 3 and it will show you all players on the map

People stay away from mod videos every mod is about to break once 42 goes live. I don’t want you getting too attached to these mods when they’re all gone.. well only temporarily of course but still.

[@Awpenheimer]

still got a good few months to play with them, and it'll only be a few weeks really before the best ones get updated!

[@matthewshaffer9377]

Build 42 is a myth made by Big Zomboid to scare you from making cool mods

[@thedreamer6930]

Fake news. They said "this year". Well, guess what... this year is almost over.

[@Probeshorts]

Nice bro

[@delugesofgrandeur]

Eh, I'll argue that the more descriptions for moodles and traits are not very useful. The PZ wiki has all of this information. Most of the traits are self-explanatory, granted there are some with hidden benefits and there's only so many moodles. A curosory glance at the wiki entry for all these should get you up to speed. Once you know what all of that means these mods no longer have any benefit. Map Legends UI is the same thing... once you figure out what the eight colors represent the mod is no longer necessary. The Swap It mod is the only one I hadn't heard of before and it does look really useful. Thank you!

my auto exercise and auto gather didnt make it to your list. 😢

[@Awpenheimer]

Ahh, I’ll be making more mod videos soon ;)

[@emilmartinka5442]

Auto exercise is part of vanilla game bro, and it forks faster than your mod, you just have to start exercise,sprint out of it and immediately start exercising again, it will glitch you in no animation exercise but you will gain xp, even you run out of stamina. Good work anyway

[@Fox0814]

How does lockpicking mod work together with common sense? Don't they collide?

[@Awpenheimer]

They worked fine together when I was recording this video

[@Fox0814]

Ok, thanks. That was quick xD

[@za5adlo701]

Actually they work not really nice together cuz it duplicate some of feature, its visible even during video by menu u open. There is addon for better lockpicking which really modifies it, gives some new things, fixes req old tool mod and gives support to common sense

[@smileguy3488]

But... There are already an option to see players on the map in the main game. You can even tweak it a bit.

[@ordinaryfiver4403]

best video so far

[@LoveJupiter325]

That so sad.. EVERY of theses Quality Of Life Mods (and many more) should be in Vanilla... And they are not OP or Hard to put in the game... :/ Also, for the minimap, I suggest you the : "SpiffUI - Immersive Minimap" mod ! It's SO COOL, you can open a mini map and see it while walking (with less view like the mod "read and walk") but that so cool and immersive I think It should be in Vanilla !!!
