Random Start Enhanced

Description
Introduction:
Random Start Enhanced — pushes Project Zomboid’s chaos a step further. Built for a deeper, more immersive experience, it lets each run begin fully at random, adding real unpredictability to your journey.

Every new life becomes a unique story, with unexpected strengths and weaknesses that help you bond with your survivor. Say goodbye to predictable respawns and embrace the raw, unfiltered fight for survival.

Features:
  • Random Occupation: Randomizes your occupation.
  • Random Traits: Fills all trait points with a random mix of positives and negatives.
  • Random Character: Randomizes name, appearance, and clothing.
  • Random Spawn: Randomizes your spawn location.
  • Server-Wide Enforcement: Enforces the selected options for all players.

Four Gameplay Options:
  • Random Start Enhanced: Adds a new random occupation to the list and randomizes your character’s appearance.
  • Always Random: Forces full randomization of character creation: occupation, traits, and appearance.
  • Always Random Character Customization: Forces random occupation and traits, while you keep control of appearance.
  • Character Customization: Adds a random occupation to the list and lets you customize appearance.

Mod Compatibility:
  • Should work with most mods.

Mod recommendations:

Notes:
  • Updates for Build 41 are coming to an end. From now on, all new updates and content will be released exclusively for Build 42.
  • Controller support not tested.
  • Load this mod after other occupation-adding mods if you want “Random” to appear last.
  • Safe to add mid-save.
  • Multiplayer compatible.

@cherry-wave Hello! For now, you need to choose your spawn location from the available options. I may add more choices later on if players want an option for always-random spawns.

The four available options only affect how the random occupation is selected.

Which option should I choose if I ONLY want to edit appearance, bc I chose "Always Random Character Customization" and I still had to pick a spawn

@Catspoons Awesome! Thanks a lot for the information!

I play with Uncle Dave was a prepper and it spat me out in one of the bunkers. So it seems to work with that map mod. I don't use any others so I can't speak for them.

Choose a specific gender or roll a random one while using forced randomized character appearance.

@K.Plotnikof I haven’t personally tested this with map mods, but it should be compatible. The mod randomly picks a location from the pool and adds it back under a new name. I recommend loading it after any mods that add new map locations.

I’d really appreciate it if you could report back and let me know if it worked for you.

If i choose random spawn location, will it take into account mod maps spawns then?

New update
The random character appearance is no longer applied to all occupations. ✅

@Keinori Hello. I’m not certain I understand your question. I agree the gameplay option description is somewhat unclear. This mod allows you to randomize the spawn location, occupation + traits, and character appearance.

If you want maximum control over how things are randomized, go with the fourth option, Character Customization.

I’ve updated the description, hopefully it’s clearer now.
