¶ 7 Best Project Zomboid Quality of Life Mods
Quality of Life mods are a great way to make playing Project Zomboid more pleasant without changing the game mechanics or making the game a lot easier. These are our recommended QoL mods that you should try on your playthrough.
¶ 1. Better Sorting
If you've played modded Project Zomboid, you have probably used Better Sorting before. The mod seeks out to do exactly what's in the name, make sorting your items better. Project Zomboid already has smaller inventory menus that can be difficult to view what each item is. This mod will more specifically categorize items and also contains some slight name tweaks. This doesn't take away from the vanilla experience at all, and is a simple useful tweak.
¶ 2. Has Been Read
Do you ever lose track of what literature you have and haven't read? Well this will no longer happen with this mod installed. Books that have not been read will have a “?" mark next to them, books that have been halfway read will have a “!” next to them and books that are complete will display just the original icon. Maps are also now supported, to keep track of what maps you have and have not read. This mod has a ton of customizability as well, so make sure to read the documentation on the mod.
¶ 3. Clear description for Moodles
Do you ever get a certain effect and just see something generic? This is life or death, so it's important to know what each moodle is actually doing. What this mod does is replace the generic description of different moodles with more detailed descriptions of what debuffs are actually being applied to your character. Having this mod might save your life in a huge horde.
¶ 4. Improved Hair Menu
When you're creating a character, it's nice to be able to view your hairstyle before you end up with a pink mohawk that you didn't mean to pick. With Improved Hair Menu, you'll be able to preview and select each hairstyle in a 3D preview during character creation. The mod also supports mods that add hair to the game.
¶ 5. KillCount
If you're a survivor of the apocalypse, you're going to want to keep track of how cool you are by counting your kills. This mod adds a new tab of the character window that displays the number of kills and with what weapons and methods. In Multiplayer, you'll also be able to show off your impressive kill count to other players, along with viewing the total number of kills on the server.
¶ 6. Map Legend UI
The minimap in Project Zomboid displays a rainbow of different colors for different types of buildings. But what do they all mean? With Map Legend UI, you'll be able to view and toggle a map legend that tells you what the different colors mean on the map. So next time you're exploring, you'll have a better idea of where to go to hunker down and avoid that horde.
¶ 7. Weapon Condition Indicator
This mod adds an easy to look at weapon condition indicator for all your favorite items. Now, you'll be able to view the color behind your tools and weapons to see exactly how much stamina is left on them. This is great when you're planning to take on a big horde so you'll realize beforehand that the katana you plan on using isn't about to disintegrate in your hands after one hit of a zombie.
