Full transcript

1. 0:00These are the 10 best mods for Project
2. 0:02Zomboid build 42 stable. Starting off at
3. 0:04number one, we have spawn selector. And
4. 0:06this mod replaces the normal starting
5. 0:08location list with a full world map,
6. 0:10letting you choose exactly where your
7. 0:12character spawns. You still create your
8. 0:14world, occupation, traits, and character
9. 0:16like normal, but before entering the
10. 0:18game, you can move around the entire
11. 0:20map, zoom in, and click the exact
12. 0:22location where you want to start. You
13. 0:23can even choose different floors, which
14. 0:25means you can spawn on the ground floor,
15. 0:27inside a basement, or at the top of a
16. 0:29large building. There is also a random
17. 0:30spawn challenge option that hides your
18. 0:32destination, so you will have no idea
19. 0:34where the mod sends you. The mod
20. 0:36supports single player, multiplayer, and
21. 0:38compatible map mods. It automatically
22. 0:40reads the maps enabled in your world, so
23. 0:42custom towns should appear without
24. 0:43needing to set up everything manually.
25. 0:45It also gives you a short safe arrival
26. 0:47period after spawning. Nearby zombies
27. 0:49are cleared while the area loads, which
28. 0:51stops you from dying before you even
29. 0:53gain control. Overall, spawn selector is
30. 0:55perfect for challenge runs, roleplay, or
31. 0:57anyone who wants full control over where
32. 0:59their next character spawns. At number
33. 1:01two, we have This is Your Life. And this
34. 1:03mod completely replaces the normal
35. 1:05character creation screen with a much
36. 1:07more immersive system. Instead of simply
37. 1:09choosing a town from a list, you look
38. 1:11through postcards from seven different
39. 1:12Kentucky locations. Your hometown
40. 1:14decides where you spawn, reveals part of
41. 1:16the local map, gives you a special
42. 1:18origin trait, and also provides an extra
43. 1:20bonus. For example, Riverside gives you
44. 1:22fishing levels, Muldraugh gives
45. 1:24mechanics, and Fallas Lake gives aiming.
46. 1:26Professions are now selected through
47. 1:27newspaper job listings, while your
48. 1:29traits are chosen through a personal
49. 1:31assessment. You also create your
50. 1:32character using a new Kentucky
51. 1:34identification record that replaces the
52. 1:36normal appearance screen. The biggest
53. 1:37feature is that every vanilla profession
54. 1:39now receives its own active ability. You
55. 1:41can activate it with the G key, and the
56. 1:44ability depends on your job. These can
57. 1:45help you with things like endurance,
58. 1:47healing, cooking, vehicles, fishing, and
59. 1:49many other systems. Just keep in mind
60. 1:51that this mod is still heavily work in
61. 1:53progress, only supports single player
62. 1:55right now, and may them with other mods
63. 1:57that change character creation. Overall,
64. 1:59This is Your Life makes creating a
65. 2:01survivor feel like a part of the actual
66. 2:03game, and gives your character much more
67. 2:04personality before the apocalypse even
68. 2:06begins. And with build 42 finally
69. 2:09stable, this is probably one of the best
70. 2:11times to start a new multiplayer server
71. 2:13with your friends. So, before we
72. 2:15continue, here's a quick word from this
73. 2:16video's sponsor. Do you want to make a
74. 2:18Project Zomboid server for you and your
75. 2:20friends? Then, you should check out this
76. 2:21video's sponsor, Pine Hosting. Pine
77. 2:24Hosting makes setting up a Project
78. 2:25Zomboid server fast and simple. You can
79. 2:27create a server in just a few minutes.
80. 2:29Their panel is easy to use, and they
81. 2:31offer great performance for a good
82. 2:32price. With global locations and full
83. 2:34DDoS protection. They also have a
84. 2:36built-in workshop installer, so adding
85. 2:38mods is really simple. And if you're

87. 2:42you transfer your server over without
88. 2:43any hassle. They also host more than
89. 2:45just Project Zomboid, games like

92. 2:51code ZibidisPZ and using the link in the
93. 2:53description. And thank you, Pine
94. 2:55Hosting, for sponsoring this video. At
95. 2:56number three, we have Proximity
96. 2:58Inventory. And this is one of those
97. 2:59quality of life mods that saves a huge
98. 3:02amount of time while looting. Instead of
99. 3:03opening every nearby container one by
100. 3:05one, this mod combines all of them into
101. 3:07a single inventory window. So, if you're
102. 3:09searching a warehouse, looting a pile of
103. 3:11zombies, or trying to remember where you
104. 3:13left some ammo, you can see everything
105. 3:14around you in one place. You can also
106. 3:17take items directly from the combined
107. 3:18inventory without clicking through every
108. 3:20box, corpse, or shelf. Nearby containers
109. 3:23can be highlighted, and there is an
110. 3:24optional zombie-only mode if you only
111. 3:26want the feature while looting bodies.
112. 3:28The mod can be enabled or disabled
113. 3:30through the options, and it can also be
114. 3:32added to an existing save. The workshop
115. 3:34page says it supports multiplayer, but
116. 3:36some recent build 42.20 comments report
117. 3:38server problems. So, I would test it
118. 3:40before adding to a huge multiplayer
119. 3:42world. Overall, Proximity Inventory
120. 3:44makes looting much faster and removes a
121. 3:46lot of unnecessary clicking. Once you
122. 3:47get used to it, going back to the normal
123. 3:49inventory system feels painfully slow.
124. 3:51At number four, we have infirmities.
125. 3:53This mod adds several new illnesses,
126. 3:55physical conditions, and long-term
127. 3:57problems that can completely change how
128. 3:59your character plays. The current
129. 4:00version includes schizophrenia,
130. 4:02Parkinson's disease, anxiety,
131. 4:04narcolepsy, scoliosis, and dynamic
132. 4:07addictions. Each condition brings its
133. 4:09own effects and problems, so our
134. 4:10character may deal with things like
135. 4:12panic, unusual events, physical
136. 4:14limitations, or addictions that become
137. 4:16harder to manage over time. The mod also
138. 4:18includes the creator's older They Are
139. 4:20Watching mod. So, some conditions can
140. 4:21cause audio, dialogue, fake infection,
141. 4:23and even visual hallucinations. This can
142. 4:26make normal exploration much more
143. 4:28unpredictable because you may not always
144. 4:29know whether something around you is
145. 4:31real. Just keep in mind that infirmities
146. 4:33is still being developed, requires
147. 4:34Moodle framework and Technolit, and
148. 4:36currently does not support multiplayer.
149. 4:38The creator also makes it clear and are
150. 4:40not meant to accurately represent real
151. 4:42medical experiences. Overall,
152. 4:44infirmities is a great mod for players
153. 4:45who want more difficult and unusual
154. 4:47character runs where survival is not
155. 4:49only about fighting zombies. At number
156. 4:51five, we have Rip All Button and Context
157. 4:53Menu. And this is a simple quality of
158. 4:55life mod that makes ripping clothes much
159. 4:57faster. Instead of clicking every
160. 4:58clothing item one by one, the mod adds a
161. 5:01new option that just lets you rip
162. 5:02everything in your inventory and nearby
163. 5:04containers with a single click. You can
164. 5:06choose to rip all clothing or select
165. 5:08materials like leather, denim, or
166. 5:10cotton. The mod still follows normal
167. 5:12vanilla rules, so will not let you rip
168. 5:14items that are not supposed to be
169. 5:16ripped. You also still need scissors or
170. 5:18a sharpened knife for denim and leather.
171. 5:20It works in single player and
172. 5:21multiplayer, supports existing saves,
173. 5:23and is also compatible with Clean UI.
174. 5:25Just keep in mind that the current build
175. 5:2742.20 version uses a temporary fix, so
176. 5:30you should get the correct amount of
177. 5:32sheets, but some of them may appear
178. 5:33clean instead of dirty for now. Overall,
179. 5:36this mod removes a lot of repetitive
180. 5:38clicking and makes collecting sheets and
181. 5:40materials much quicker. At number six,
182. 5:42we have Better Auto Mechanics. And this
183. 5:44mod makes leveling the mechanic skill
184. 5:45much faster and less annoying. To use
185. 5:48it, open the mechanics window on any
186. 5:50vehicle. Right click a part and select
187. 5:52train mechanics. Your character will
188. 5:54then automatically install and remove
189. 5:56useful parts to gain XP. The mod is also
190. 5:58smart enough to know when a vehicle can
191. 6:00no longer give you mechanics XP. It will
192. 6:02warn you instead of wasting time or
193. 6:04damaging parts for no reason. If zombies
194. 6:07interrupt you or cancel your action, you
195. 6:09can continue from where you stopped. You
196. 6:11can also choose how safe the training
197. 6:13should be. From working on every
198. 6:15possible part to only using parts with
199. 6:17guaranteed success chance. Another
200. 6:19useful feature is batch uninstalling.
201. 6:21You can quickly remove all the tires,
202. 6:23doors, or even completely strip a
203. 6:25vehicle with one click. It works in
204. 6:27single player and multiplayer. It's safe
205. 6:30to add or remove mid save and supports
206. 6:32most vehicle mods. Overall, Better Auto
207. 6:34Mechanics removes a lot of repetitive
208. 6:36clicking and makes training mechanics
209. 6:38much smoother. At number seven, we have
210. 6:41Simple Flashlight on Belt. And this mod
211. 6:43does exactly what the name says. It lets
212. 6:45you attach a flashlight directly to your
213. 6:47belt. This means you can keep both hands
214. 6:49free while still having light in dark
215. 6:51buildings or during the night. It is
216. 6:53especially useful when using two-handed
217. 6:55weapons because you no longer need to
218. 6:57constantly switch between your weapon
219. 6:58and your flashlight. You can turn the
220. 7:00flashlight on and off by pressing F or
221. 7:02by using its belt hotkey. The mod also
222. 7:05allows angle flashlights to be equipped
223. 7:07on your belt instead of mounted on
224. 7:08netting. Overall, this is a very simple
225. 7:10mod, but once you start using it,
226. 7:12playing without it feels much more
227. 7:14annoying. At number eight, we have
228. 7:15Beyond 10. This mod allows every
229. 7:18trainable skill to continue past level
230. 7:1910, all the way up to level 15. Once you
231. 7:23reach level 10, you simply keep earning
232. 7:25XP from the same actions as before.
233. 7:27There are no special books, tokens, or
234. 7:29separate menus. The normal skill panel
235. 7:31expands with five extra golden levels
236. 7:33and all progress is saved with your
237. 7:35character. Those mastery levels also
238. 7:37give additional bonuses. Weapon skills
239. 7:39and aiming deal more damage. Strength
240. 7:41increases your carry capacity, fitness
241. 7:43improves endurance, and maintenance
242. 7:46gives you a better chance to prevent
243. 7:47weapons from losing condition. Crafting,
244. 7:49medical, survival, and mechanical skills
245. 7:51also make the related actions faster.
246. 7:54But, reaching these new levels still
247. 7:55requires a huge amount of XP. So, the
248. 7:58mod gives long-term players something
249. 8:00useful to work towards without making
250. 8:02progression too easy. It supports both
251. 8:04build 41 and build 42. Works in
252. 8:06multiplayer, can even detect many custom
253. 8:09skills added by other mods. Overall,
254. 8:12Beyond 10 is perfect for long
255. 8:13playthroughs, where reaching level 10
256. 8:15normally leaves you with nothing else to
257. 8:16improve. At number nine, we have
258. 8:18Banger's Retro Car Dashboard. This mod
259. 8:20completely replaces the normal vehicle
260. 8:22dashboard with a much more detailed
261. 8:24retro design. It adds animated speed and
262. 8:26RPM gauges, a segmented fuel display,
263. 8:29digital readouts for your current gear
264. 8:31and cruise control speed, and warning
265. 8:33lights for things like the engine,
266. 8:35battery, doors, trunk, radio,
267. 8:37headlights, and temperature. The
268. 8:39dashboard also changes depending on
269. 8:41whether it is day or night with a smooth
270. 8:43backlight effect. It can even flicker
271. 8:45when the vehicle takes damage, which is
272. 8:47a really nice small detail. Most of the
273. 8:48controls are clickable, too. So, you can
274. 8:50start the engine, use the lights, open
275. 8:53doors, control the radio and heater, or
276. 8:55insert the key directly from the
277. 8:56dashboard. You can also resize the
278. 8:58entire panel from 50 to 150%, and the
279. 9:01setting is saved between sessions.
280. 9:03Overall, this mod does not change how
281. 9:04vehicles work, but it can make driving
282. 9:06feel much more immersive and gives that
283. 9:08interference a lot more personality. And
284. 9:11finally, at number 10, we have the horse
285. 9:13mod. This mod adds fully ridable horses
286. 9:15to Project Zomboid, giving you a
287. 9:17completely new way to travel around the
288. 9:19map. You can find horses at farms,
289. 9:21ranches, and stables with four different
290. 9:24breeds and multiple color variations.
291. 9:26Once you find one, you can mount it and
292. 9:28travel by walking, trotting, or
293. 9:30galloping. Horses can also jump over
294. 9:32small fences while galloping, and you
295. 9:34can kick nearby zombies without getting
296. 9:36off. This makes them both useful for
297. 9:37transportation and escaping dangerous
298. 9:40situations. You can craft and equip
299. 9:42different gear, including reins,
300. 9:43saddles, and saddlebags. Saddlebags give
301. 9:46your horse additional storage, while
302. 9:47riding without a saddle eventually
303. 9:49causes pain to your character. Just make
304. 9:51sure the mod is enabled before launching
305. 9:53the game and creating a save, because
306. 9:55otherwise the animations or horse spawn
307. 9:57zones may not load correctly. Riding is
308. 9:59also currently disabled in multiplayer,
309. 10:01although multiplayer support is planned
310. 10:03for a future update. Overall, it's This
311. 10:05is one of the most immersive build 42
312. 10:07mods available, and makes exploring the
313. 10:09huge Project Zomboid map much more
314. 10:11interesting.
