You know what this mod is missing? The one thing that is not on zomboid anywhere? Chronic illnesses such ast asthma, diabetes, cancer etc... I mean everyone here probably knows at least one person with one of these things. Add in inhalers, insulin, chemotherapy bags, and have it so that the insulin needs to be refridgerated. I mean this mod is begging for those extra traits for a real challenge in the apocalypse

Bloodlust isn't working as it should, or atleast combined with depressive. Killing zomboids doesn't give happiness (I was mowing down a horde with max unhappiness and it stayed the same)

Hello, I would like to traduce the mod in French. I've already made it work on my machine, but it could be nice if the translation was integrated within the mod folder in the workshop. Have a nice day
