Description
Project Zomboid Enhancing Mods Recommendations for New Players

List is unsorted, and every mod needs to be checked if it is still functional.

They were functional at the date of this collection (04.08.2024).

Unlike my "アンジェル's Summer 2024 Recommendations"-collection, this extended version includes additional mods I am enjoying which can change the gameplay heavily. Also, the more mods you use, the more maintenance your game might need. Keep that in mind whenever using mods.

Two Very Important Game Options Tips for New Players:
Game Options -> Display -> Cursor -> Aim Outline -> Any Weapon
Game Options -> Accessibility -> Leave key in ignition

Sandbox Settings Tips for New Players:
- Start in Rosewood
- XP Multiplier 2 + affects passives
- Starter Kit enabled
- Weapon Multihit
- Zombie strength: weak

If you use Skill Recovery Journal, make sure to adjust the recovery percentage.
To make things easier, instead of tweaking more world settings, try instead additional free trait points.
