This mod is no longer maintained. I recommend switching to this mod, Random Zombies.

----------------------------------------------- Customizable Zombies v2.4.4.1 (Updates Discontinued) -----------------------------------------------

(Does not currently work for Multiplayer Build 41.66+)

[01/04/2020] - Tested on Build 40.43. Tested on 40.43 Multiplayer. [01/10/2022] - Tested on Build 41.65. Tested on 41.65 Multiplayer.

(Fixed for Build 41.60+. Credits to Bondzberg and Dogfight for informing me about a fix.) (Fixed for Build 41.65 Servers. Credits to Lemos for providing help with a fix.)

IMPORTANT: In Sandbox mode, make set the zombie lore to "Shambler" or "Fast Shambler", otherwise the zombies may not spawn with the correct speed.

Server Instructions: On a Hosted Server (In-Game), this mod will use the host's settings. If you are the host, it will use your settings.

On a Dedicated Server, to change the settings, follow these guides for your current build: - Build 40.43 to Build 41.65+

Build 41.50+ - The FakeDead function is disabled for builds above this. It does not work properly currently.

Main Description Choose the spawn percentage chance of each zombie type. Zombies have a chance to become a Crawler, Shambler, Fast Shambler, or a Sprinter. They also have a chance to be in a Fake Dead state.

To change this mod's settings, go to the title screen or pause menu if in-game. Click on "Options". On the top-right, click on "CZombie". If you are in-game, you must reload the save file to see the changes take effect.

Mod Features: These are the default settings.

  • 2% chance to spawn in a Fake Dead state
  • 5% chance to become Crawler
  • 47% chance to become Shambler
  • 47% chance to become Fast Shambler
  • 1% chance to become Sprinter
  • 1.000 Health Multiplier for Crawler, Shambler, Fast Shambler, Sprinter.

--- Build 41.26 Update: https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Build_41#IWBUMS_Build_41.26 --- Build 41.26+ IWBUMS has a revamped mod system. Each save file has their own list of mods. If you do want to use this mod for your old saves on that build, go to the title screen, click "Load", click on the file you want to load but don't start the game. There's a "More..." button on the bottom right the screen for each save file, click on that. Click "Choose Mods...". After that, find and Enable this mod. Click "Back" and load the save file. It should now work on the old save file.
