! THIS MOD HAS BEEN ABANDONED BY THE DEVELOPER !
I am not the mod developer, but from the commits it seems like the mod dev just abandoned the whole project. Please do not comment for support as i will be unable to help due to my limited knowledge of this mod, i’ve just written a tutorial on how to install this.

As theres already a guide on how to make this game widescreen (Using hex editing), this guide uses a mod which depends on the non-GOTY version of PvZ

Meaning:
No achievement support
No zombavatar creation
.. and the rest of the GOTY edition content

The benefits of this mod other than HEX editing:
UI is centered
Bushes ported from the Console edition (Meaning no zombies randomly appearing)

... Though, here's how the game will look after the mod


Note: I am not the maker of this mod, saw no one made a guide using this mod so wanted to help a little.
Modding the game for widescreen
First of all, download the latest version of the Plants vs zombies widescreen mod[github.com]

Then, open up the files for your install of PvZ (Most commonly in C:/Program files/Steam/Steamapps/common/Plants Vs Zombies)

Drag all the stuff from the .zip file you downloaded into the PvZ folder, and replace everything there.

Then you can launch the game in widescreen using the "pvz_widescreen.exe" program!
Launching from steam (Optional)
Normally when launching the game from steam you get the normal 4:3 window, the reason is that the mod injects files into the game for it to behave properly

To fix this issue you need to get Steamedit[steamedit.tg-software.com] (Tool which lets you change what exes are launches for games)

After you installed steamedit you need to set it to be like this:


After that, click save and reload and now you can launch Plants vs zombies in widescreen from steam.

And thats about it for the whole mod!

Did it work for anyone to change the game executable? I always get the warning that the executable is missing.

When I run pvz_widescreen.exe I get a 0xc000007b error. I tried updating DirectX but it didn't work.
