New Player looking for advice - Zombie aggro/persistence feels excessive. HELP

[Humbled]

I love the game and enjoy all of the little details and things you can do in the game.

My only complaint is how aggressive and persistence zombies can be. It feels as if I have to lose line of sight and run multiple blocks away to be "safe". Even then that doesn't feel like enough. They tend to always find me.

Does anyone know of way to address this via mods/setting?

Please and thank you.

if you have graceful you will make less sound, and if your running away while not being crouched they will hear you alot more, they have pretty poor memory but can see from like 20 tiles away so yeah if you lose line of sight and dip into a building sneakupstairs chill in a bedroom they will come into the building your in but then more than likely go off hunt mode and just be roaming in the house.

don't panic. zombies are too slow to catch you if you will just walk away from them. try to start a server and take them a ♥♥♥♥. beat each of them out. then you won't be scared the next time you'll see them

The game is set up in a way that discourages direct contact with zeds, but to answer your question you can change said settings through the zombie lore setting when you first start a save. (i.e: how far they can see, hear, how far they'll chase you, etc.)
