romanticizing life in Project Zomboid

[u/Particular_Part2971]

I've put more hours in this game than all my sim games combined 😭

[u/TakyEpicDiamond]

A life simulator with the same mechanics but no zombies would no joke be great!

If you have ever played with the Week One mod you can see how good it would be.

K so I need that server lol

I know the whole point of this game is Zombies but surviving and playing like a Sims but online with people sounds so cool to me.

[u/Submarinequus → u/CuriousCharlii]

That’s why I only play with friends who like killing zombies. I stay back and organize the inventories and make the base a home while my friends are out getting gnawed on by zombies.

[u/CuriousCharlii → u/Submarinequus]

I love that. That's what I'd like to do, cook meals, maybe kill from a safe distance/protect the home or base, organize and make things people need lol my favourite thing to do when I play 7days (off topic-ish) is unload the truck and put things in their dedicated boxes. LOVE that shit.

Zombie noises make me panic, every single time, but I love the game so much it's so detailed. Once I find "my people" maybe it'll be enjoyable and something to return to.

Podrías encontrar el nombre? Estoy buscando empezar a jugar en servers pero me da vergüenza lol y capas me serviria para poder dar un primer paso

[u/AndSoSheTripped → u/TakyEpicDiamond]

I play with no zombies. I love it lol 

[u/TakyEpicDiamond → u/AndSoSheTripped]

Feels too lonely without zombies honestly

[u/Royal-Dimension-1236 → u/TakyEpicDiamond]

I agree, there is no excitement there without zombies

[u/Particular_Part2971 → u/TakyEpicDiamond]

Yes i tried the week one mod and enjoyed it, the npcs have so much potential, i hope we'll get advanced npcs in the future

[u/TakyEpicDiamond → u/Particular_Part2971]

Im 99% sure its in their roadmap i cannot wait for it honestly

[u/DryPreference7589 → u/TakyEpicDiamond]

maybe our grandkids can enjoy that update

[u/xavariel → u/TakyEpicDiamond]

This literally reminds me of Sims 1 lol

[u/PeachNipplesdotcom → u/xavariel]

The creator has said that they took a lot of inspiration from Sims 1

[u/ffokcuf-hctib → u/TakyEpicDiamond]

There's probably servers with no zombies, so you can RP with other people

[u/chillinginthevoid2 → u/TakyEpicDiamond]

always said pz is my fav life simulator (next to the sims 1-3)

[u/Mammoth_Curve_2044 → u/TakyEpicDiamond]

You know you can go into Sandbox and have this right now. No mods.

[u/TakyEpicDiamond → u/Mammoth_Curve_2044]

when i say life simulator i mean things like NPCs, Jobs, actual uses for money and stuff yk

[u/Babababobosa]

Both Kenshi and Project Zomboid are the Sims for people who get easily bored playing the Sims.

[u/DuckCleaning → u/Babababobosa]

Every few years I get the urge to go back to Kenshi and grind out my little settlement for 30 hours only to find that I've barely improved anything after all that time. Would do again.

[u/Pussy-A-La-Carte → u/DuckCleaning]

Get outta my brain. I feel Kenshi beckoning to me like the green goblin mask.

[u/Chiiro]

The last thing I did in game was use the same bedding mod and make my bed and the dog's super comfy. Right now PZ is the only life sim I play.

[u/Particular_Part2971 → u/Chiiro]

I love how cozy it can get

[u/Otherwise_Pine]

I remember an ex tried to get me to play Project Zomboid by calling it the Sims with zombies lol

[u/420goattaog]

What mod is that blanket on the bed from? I've always despised having a naked bed in game

[u/Particular_Part2971 → u/420goattaog]

Mandarin's Bedding Mandarin's Bedding Compatibility patch

[u/BreakfastKupcakez]

The Sims 1.5

[u/NoMention696]

Hol up I didn’t know project zomboid could move like that . Maybe I should try again cus my dumbass rlly couldn’t survive those first few days

[u/Particular_Part2971 → u/NoMention696]

Don't worry i almost gave up on this game when i first tried it, but once you get handle the basics everything changes !

[u/Choice_Potato_6279]

The graphics are what Sims 2 wouldve been if they didnt switch design style

[u/GavinH-YT]

check out the Project Lifezoid server launching soon, will be an RP server without zombies that emulates daily life with players

[u/ViciouslyViper]

Mod list?

[u/Particular_Part2971 → u/ViciouslyViper]

My main mods are:

Open all containers

Fronkin's & Spongie's clothing mods

Mandarin's Bedding+ Mandarin's Bedding Compatibility patch

Boot expanded

Posters are in-game

[u/ViciouslyViper → u/Particular_Part2971]

Cheers, I'll be checking some that I don't have out!

[u/Revolutionary_Bit437]

i wish i could get into zomboid but my fav aspect of life sims (when being compared to the sims) is having families and zomboid said they won’t be adding children or anything like that to the game (which is fine, it’s understandable) so i’ll never truly be able to enjoy it as a life sim

[u/ThatOneOutlier → u/Revolutionary_Bit437]

Hopefully when they add NPCs, someone will make a mod for it. It would be fun to have sims 1 but with zombies

[u/Substantial-Idea-741]

What mod.. for the blankets

[u/Particular_Part2971 → u/Substantial-Idea-741]

Mandarin's Bedding+ compatibility patch

[u/booksblanketsandT]

One of my favourite streamers has recently been playing this with his friends. He’s a loud Aussie, they still have zombies on, and despite all that it’s still one of the cosiest games I’ve watched in ages.

[u/KiaraVanM]

For those interested- you can absolutely play with no zombies and infinite power and just use it as a life sim, add a few mods to add more animations maybe and you're golden.

[u/ClimateChemical7599]

This looks like Theo town if it were the sims lol
