Welcome to the largest shopping complex in the whole Knox county. From the latest fashion to the newest movie, you can meet all your shopping and entertainment needs in two fully climate-controlled malls and surrounding area with over 153 stores and restaurants.

CrossRoads Mega Mall - The Best place to hang out in the middle of nowhere.

This is my first map mod, it is a 3-cell size map, located between Muldraugh and West Point (cell 37x28) The map contains 2 massive indoor malls: West Point Plaza(73 businesses), Muldraugh Plaza(47 businesses). 1 Outlet mall(12 businesses), 1 strip mall(14 businesses), 2 gas stations, 2 restaurants, 1 car supply store, Home Mart hardware superstore, United Shipping Logistics warehouse, Knox Bank and Bus station.

The footprint of the West Point Plaza is nearly one-cell size, it contains all the shops of brands PZ has to offer, from GigaMart to EP Tools, Spiffo to the Pie-O-Crepe, StarEplex Cinema to Hit Vids, this one single building covered 90% of the loot table in the game so far.

There is three ways to spawn in this map. Exterior, interior and roof. There will be no zombie in the mall if you choose to spawn inside the mall. The roof spawn point is for the scenario that you are trapped on the roof of a zombie infested mall like the classical 1978 Dawn of the Dead.

[IMPORTANT] For anyone having issues with game crash when first approaching the mega mall try increasing the ram in the ProjectZomboid64.json (this file is in your game main folder) to something like -Xms4096m and -Xmx8192m. put a value that is about 75% of you total available ram (any changes to this file may revert after updates) Solution thank to Pertominus This should work with lagging too. The reason for the lagging is because recent IWBUMS updates changed the game engine code, which made the interior zombie spawn number increased dramatically. There is nothing I can do to fix it atm. But with the game keeps updating, the issue may get fixed when dev worked on the optimization later.

If you found any glitch, please report in the User bug report.
