I do the same thing, and it's actually way more fun than trying to make the most "optimized" build ever. I try to build "archetypes" of different people. A hobo who scavenges from dumpsters and breaks into cars to steal shit, a veteran with alcoholism and extreme PTSD, a fatass wagie, the list goes on.
I finally had a successful run playing as a character based off myself but I got bit. Im going to make a new character with the burgler profession and make him black.
He's gonna die on day 1, it's a rule of anything horror related that the nigger dies first/soon.
Thats exactly what happened. I swear, my characters either die in a day or they live for a month or two.
Nah, it's just because he was black.
I usually restart if I die. Sometimes I make a new character.
That or lop of the limb with The Only Cure, even if it might suck to not be able to use two handed weapons until building a prosthesis.
you hate to love this game
They spawn way too often imo. I've left it on vanilla settings and I had like 1-3 bandits attack me every day (on 1 hour days), not even counting the roamers. Thankfully it's easy to adjust spawns. But this mod is a blast. Dev is thinking about adding friendly NPCs in the future which will loot containers on their own and place it in the "chest" in your base, so it's looking good for the future of zomboid. I just hope b42 doesn't fuck this mod up when it finally releases in 2026.They updated the BANDITS mod. Basically Louiseville is hell on earth. I was just minding my own business in the starting house and got bumrushed by 7 psych ward patients with meat cleavers. They chased me upstairs tripped me and hacked my to pieces.
I’ll have to tweak some settings when I try again later but
Lower spawns to like 1/2 or 1/3 of the original value though.
Vehicle stories, house stories etc. Stuff like seeing two police cars forming a road blockade with zombie policemen lurking around, house full of zombies in party hats etc.
