Still works.

I like this idea. I am interested in making all the NPC's in the Bandits and Week One mod walk as slow as the player does in the Bear Speeds - Slower Player Walking Mod. Can this be done?

Did this currently work?

Being able to slow the player walking speed down alone in itself is a must-have mod. With it just feels right and immersive.

PLS PLS make it updated, this is the best mod to make shamblers more dangerous i can't play without this mod

Gave these a try. I was really hoping this was more adjustable via sandbox options. But it is merely a select a premade version in the mod list. It would be pretty awesome if we could set the speed values for players and zombies to what we wanted.

I also would like an option for slower sprinters to be included. Say a 70% speed and a 50% speed for sprinters. I use sprinters during the nighttime.

Overall, after testing I have left only the reduced player walking speed enabled. As the mod author pointed out, has always been too fast and a little cheesy. I do prefer the faster shambler option when chasing. As it allows the zombies and catch the player very slowly. Sadly, I found faster chasing to be too unfair if the player is injured when combined with slower player walking. Yet leaving default player walking speed lets players remain too fast. The combination of these options is more of a challenge game than general gameplay challenge adjustment.

I like it, slightly faster walking and jogging would be ideal, maybe 5% faster would be a sweet spot.

Ooh oooh, could we request a options slider or percentage increase/decrease? What do you reckon?

I'm ashamed to ask, but maybe the author will be very kind and add the option of accelerated sprinters +50% or 150% speed)))))))))))

Honestly when i read "bear speeds" i thought this was like something to do with inventories, where the weight of the character's inventory would affect their movement speed, including zombies

Thank you! I always thought same as mod description.
I don't like sprinters but I always want zombies to chase me faster so I can feel the danger and challenge.
This mod is godsent.

Reminder that all of these are slight adjustments, like a 10% change maximum so it might not be noticeable, but you will start noticing it after a while
i will probably make a "hard" version of the mod, giving them +150% speed boosts like the last comment said

I really like the idea of the mod, but the fast fast shambler probably doesn't work for me. I don't know. Maybe it's because of some mods that I have installed. Maybe the author could please speed up the shamblers significantly or add an option, for example, +150% to the shambler speed?

@infernal what? The ingame day is an hour and a half, that means eating for more than a couple of seconds in real time would take like two hours of in-game time, leaving not much daylight to do other stuff =p

Do you think you can post any videos showing the changes you made? Would better help see if the changes to speed are good for you.

could you make slower eating and drinking
