Do you play singleplayer with sleep on or off?

[nellanella]

Of course, toggling sleep isn't in the options (at least I couldn't find it) so you have to disable it via a mod or other means.

I started playing the game in multiplayer with friends and we would make use of ALL hours of the day, so I'm finding it hard to play with the sleep mechanic. I found a mod that disables it, and now the game kind of feels like Minecraft, you can keep chugging for days exploring and doing other stuff and suffer zero fatigue.

Some say it's a crucial mechanic to the game but I just want to dedicate my time to exploring or doing tasks 24/7, even if it's not realistic of a human to do that without rest.

I never even considered turning off sleep in singleplayer. I suppose that would make night sprinter settings more interesting though. Managing tiredness does feel like an integral part of the game balance, but hey, if you like to play this way, do whatever is fun for you.

Play the game how you want. That's why it allows you to change so many options in a sandbox setting. If you get enjoyment from playing without any zombies, you can do that. Since you get enjoyment from "exploring or doing tasks 24/7", then do that.

You paid money for this game. Don't let it be frustrating for the sake of being someone else's idea of fun.

I started seriously playing PZ with friends on MP also, and loved it.

I've recently been playing SP on a more "hardcore" style singleplayer world and my honest issue with fatigue is that its moodlet levels are pretty debilitating to the player character. Wakeful feels very necessary just so I don't get tired by 6pm in the evening when there is still a good amount of light out.

then again i play a very active zomboid with respawns and a lot of combat. may not be so bad for a more casual playthrough.

SP - Sleep required on
MP - Sleep required off, but allowed on (we use it to advance time if everyone agrees).

Mmm, you're right. I think I made this post to justify my case, but what's the point of that? I bought the game, I ought to enjoy it my way. Thanks.

I came here from google recommending this when I looked up "project zomboid can you disable sleep in singleplayer?". So it serves another helpful purpose as well, validating for me that I'm not crazy and that there is no option to disable sleep in singleplayer.

So the Solution is Create a Multiplayer game and play it solo.
