Description
Want a FUN and REALISTIC zombie outfit distribution mod? This mod is for you!

This mod adds a variety of zones into the game which gives zombies outfits to match their surroundings.
It also adds over 150 custom outfits which are appropriately placed on zombies in the world.


YES The mod is compatible with Build 42!

Goals of this mod:
  • Add the unused zombie outfits that the Indie Stone developers made
  • Add iconic George Romero-esque zombie outfits (Zombies hold items in their hands!)
  • Add appropriate setting and rarity for their clothing and items.
Here are some of the main features of Authentic Z.
  • Fat Zombies!
  • Zombies with missing arms and hands!
  • Backpack attachments. Upgrade your bags through 3 tiers to add more attachment slots!
  • Adds a new custom costume shop in Louisville. You will find lots of fun clothing and accessories in there.
  • The Crossroads Mall spawn zombies with random outfits = Random FUN!
  • The March Ridge Dormitory is rezoned to have unique zombie placement within it.
  • Ice Cream workers at each Ice Cream shop. Same thing with the new Donut Shops.
  • Dedicated spawns for Hazmat zombies, Service Uniform zombies, and Ghillie Suit zombies at the Secret Base
  • The large campgrounds, southwest from Riverside, are rezoned into Friday the 13th's Camp Crystal Lake. Find Jason, before he finds you! Includes other slashers like Michael Myers, Freddy Kreuger, and Leather Face!
  • Student and Varsity zombies at schools have been fixed to only have realistic hairstyles.
  • Fisherman and Poncho zombies alongside lakes and rivers (If zombies spawn there)
  • Hunter Zombies chance at isolated cabins and hunting stands.
  • Zombified Heroes from all your favorite zombie media
  • Famous Zombies from the zombie genre
  • Clown zombies…...Yes…...Clown Zombies
  • and a nice hit-list with checkboxes so you can log your progress! Great for late-game content!

Future Plans
If you want to keep up to date with the current progress and future plans, check out the official Trello page for the mod! [trello.com]

The 3 Branches - Only use ONE

AuthenticZ - Current has all the features.

AuthenticZLite ONLY has the outfits and zombie spawns. It does NOT have the backpack upgrading system.

AuthenticZBackpacks+ ONLY has the backpack upgrading system.

Common Issues and their fixes
1. "My server won't start" "Normal Termination" etc etc
FIX - Update your copy of AuthenticZ, sometimes Steam doesn't do it correctly. Review Method 2 on updating mods for servers/local servers [theindiestone.com]

2. "I can't upgrade my backpack or use the attachment slots" etc etc
FIX - Make sure you are NOT running multiple branches of AuthenticZ, this is a common issue of doing that. Make sure you have the sufficient materials to upgrade. Secondary bags (small bags that you can not wear on your back) need a carabiner (can be crafted with 5 paperclips) so it can be attached to the "Secondary Bag Slot".

I hope you enjoy and have lots of fun.

When you report a bug, give me as much info as you can. Such as...
1. What branch of the mod you are running, 2. When does the error happen (so I can replicate it) 3. Any console error reports. For the best convenience and response time, post your error report on my discord channel, linked above.

Also try uninstalling and reinstalling the mod if you suspect that your copy of the mod wasn't updated when one was released recently. Steam sometimes doesn't immediately push updates.

Bug [B42.11]

This is specific to the Claire Redfield zombie. If you attack her with a melee weapon, or attempt to shove her, the game crashes back to the main menu.

for some reason this mod just doesnt work for me, i went as far as uninstalling ALL mods just to make sure there wasnt some sort of conflict. Yes im on B42.11, Yes i made sure i used ONLY the main mod, and made sure neither of the branch mods were enabled.
There was no new options in the character creation menu, for clothes.
I even played for 20 ingame days, on 100% default settings, and was not able to find one zombie with the modded clothes, nor loot any. Its like the mods installed, but not there?
hoping this is some sort of 1 off bug and itll get fixed soon

What does the map addition AZSpawn do? I have it on but I can never seem to find the unique zombies, i also only have authenticZ on, not Lite or backpacks

Just a quick question... why do items weigh more when they are attached to my ALICE pack then when they are inside the pack? Kind of is making the attachment slots useless.

Could potentially be a mod conflict I guess, I am using inventory Tetris for example, but I don't think that would cause this problem.

Why does this mod crash and return to the home screen when I hit a zombie?
I've always used this mod, and now this is happening. I can attack all zombies. When I attack one from AZ, it crashes.
