Description
Inspired by my previous mods I went in search of more zombie types to create as textures for Project Zomboid. After thinking of ideas, I remembered a zombie board-game I'd played a few years ago called Dead of Winter, which features some gross, plaguey type zombies with horrible pustules ready to burst, cracked dry and rotting skin as well as those classic dead zombie eyes. Further inspired by the Black Death, I thought it would be cool for my next texture mod to make a combination of the two, and allow people to face some gnarly looking, pus-filled zombies. You'll be sure to avoid infection when it means you'll be getting something much worse than your typical acne zits! Whether you want to roleplay a mutant, zombie strain of the Black Death making a resurgence, or you just want some horrible, gross zombies this is the texture mod for you. Enjoy!

UPDATE: I have included a Dead of Winter preset that starts you in November with very cold temperatures! I recommend you use the 'infinite snow' mod from the infinite weather mod or the Cryogenic Wasteland mod in order to get the full winter hell experience, unless you want the winter to eventually pass.

To use this preset, place the sandbox preset file I included in steamapps/workshop/content/108600/2364689687/media
in your C:/Users/you/Zomboid/Sandbox Presets folder.

Wow man, that is awesome. Sounds like you put a lot of work into this. So thank you for that. I have it Like an Faved and I am following you. I'm currently trying to get my existing modlist in orer so my guns will fire. I thought it might have been just age on some of the mods I use, but now I on't know. I'm still pretty new to the game an I think I may have fallen into the newbie trap of installing everything that looks an sounds awesome. I'm trying to slim down my list but it is hard to ecide what to keep an what to unsub from. I got rid of about three pages, but I still have roughly twenty left. And that is twenty pages of thirty. A lot of them are civilian vehicles but more ate military vehicles from K15. I tried to find vieos or whatever to help me ecide what to keep an what to get rid of. Anyway, I'm sorry again for such a long post. Have an awesome day.

Also, the images are a little out of date. I went over this mod a couple months ago to bring it up to my current standards for texture work, including more of the detailing present on vanilla zed textures. It's pretty much just that though, extra detailing. (This sadly meant retiring the favourite, at least among my friends, glasgow-smile zombie for the white male zombie in order to let the game create more randomly generated ones... otherwise there'd be a LOT of them)

As far as antibiotics go, I think they only cure wound infections, which are different from both the fake infection and zombie virus. Though I haven't tested that...
Goblin Conscript  [author] Jul 31, 2023 @ 9:41am 
It's just a texture mod, as Dead of Winter (what I based the zombie appearance on) follows a very traditional 'if you're bit you're fucked' method. If you want an experience like that it is very achievable with vanilla. I'd add the mod Susceptible which simulates an airborne component to the plague when the trait is enabled (or you can turn it on globally for all characters in the sandbox setting) - and turn infection mortality onto Never. You will still absolutely get sick from infection points, bites and lacerations, etc, but they'll always be 'fake' infections. Don't let that lull you into a sense of security, you can and *will* die from 'fake' infections. They're like really bad wound infections and you need to treat them as seriously as you'd try to survive the zombie infection in vain. Using those settings, I'm sure you can get the intended effect you want.

@Goblin Conscript Hey man, this mod sounds amazing.. I will be sure to check it out very soon. I had always been interested in the events of the "Black Death" that hit Europe and the rest of the known world at the times they hit. After the first round of the Black Death, which was after The Great Famine, it hit Europe hard coming in the form of Bubonic plague and Pneumonic Plague. And most of the doctors at that time had no way to fight it or cure it. It's a shame they in't discover antibiotics back in the 14th century instead of the early 20th century. From what I remember, it reduced the world population to around 300 million give or take. Oh geesh, I'm very sorry for rambling on. lol. A question on my mind is did you include a way for the plague to be contracted by the player and a way to cure it being antibiotics? Or is this just a texture mod? Sounds awesome either way. lol .Liked, faved an followed.

Hi there, could you provide a screenshot please?

In build 41, zombies and players have modular wound systems that add an overlay when they recieve a certain type of wound. There are pre-existing 'flesh smile' wounds that zombies can spawn with. Are you sure it was not that?

Thanks and happy to help if something needs fixing.
