《I Am Legend》

pretty cool mod i can remake i am legand in project zomboid im happy you made this mod

For those experiencing oddities, turning off Definitive Zombies and similar zombie behavior mods helped to make this more consistent for me. If you're looking for Night Sprinters without the Night Sprinters mod, just turn on Day/Night Active under Zombie Lore and set their base speed to Spinters.

Real shame this makes zombies practically harmless during day, wanted to setup a "I am Legend" style game with buffed sprinting zombies at night but zombies stay asleep even if you rampage in their hideouts at day.

This seems to work for the most part, is there a setting somewhere in Sandbox where you can tick it so all zombies run inside? Its working 90% of the time where zombies will seek a building to hide in, but sometimes a few just ignore it and chase me outside or just dont go inside at all.

This works for Build 41.78, even in MP. Great for an "I am Legend" playthrough.

Unfortunately zombies broke my door trying to get in and away from the sun and i had to fix it later.

if this doesnt work for you, errors are probably coming from other mods that change zombie behavior. this is a must have mod for me

volatiles hate this mod

i love this better you make zombie burn in broad daylight like in movie ''im a legend'' srsly

what that guy says below me :) I do read all of your comments but reports are so varied of it working or not that I won't touch til B42.
If anyone is brave, this has been open source with GPL since last summer on https://github.com/crispiboi/FearTheSun

FOR ANYONE ELSE HAVING ISSUES, READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST:

The mod likely does not work anymore, and based on his comments below, the author has no intentions of updating this anytime soon, at the very least until Build 42 is out. It would be pointless for him to fix the mod, only for B42 to come out not long after and just break it again.

The mod isn't working. It will likely not be fixed until AFTER Build 42 is out.

Mod doesnt seem to work, i even got rid of the Random night zombies mod and it still doesnt seem to work. 7am hits and the zombies still roam around outside. tried uninstalling and reinstalling already. any help?

@Jemo: I don't think he plans on updating it anytime soon, or at least until after Build 42 releases.

Hey pillow! The mod doesn't really seem to work properly on the current version. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Could you fix it? This is my favorite mod and the game doesn't feel the same. Thank you for your work.

The mod works after disabling it and uninstalling it on both new and old saves.

Doesn't work
No matter what setting. zombies run to beginn in the Buildings (On the way fight with me) but come back to outside on day. the video shows me something different

Is there a way to have all zombies across the map spawn in buildings from the start, possibly via debug mode?

I'm going to see how badly the next build breaks this, but yah when I get obsessed with programming again this mod, and true random spawns will get more love.

Will you be updating the mod in the future and would you consider adding a setting to make more sensitive while inside? Seems like most comments want them to be more like thez hide in the building, instead of just sleeping. Thanks for all the work up until now!

I have it running with Random Zombies Day/Night and it seems to work well.

The only issue I have is during the day when all zombies should be inside a building, when travel to a new area, zombies respawn outside. They do make their way to building almost immediately, but it would be nice if when they do spawn in a new area they immediate spawned inside a building to not break the immersion the mod is trying to achieve.
But I think this is a PZ settings issue (which I can’t resolve) and not a mod issue.

does it work with any of those and Definitive Zombies lol?

hey does this mod work with night sprinters or random zombies day/night or wandering zombies?

So basically - new server zombies fear the sun, adding to existing server they do not care about the sun.
This mod could be resetting sprinters to shamblers when it wakes them back up.

It's working with Multiplayer now. It seems you have to add it when making a new server, Zombie behavior is unaffected otherwise. Also have found a bug where Zombie setting resets from sprinters to fast shamblers. Don't know weather that is game related or mod.

Are you running any other mods that affect zombie behavior? They will likely overwrite this mod's functions. Mod options is not required for it

Sandbox option, Zombie activity day or night? Idk if it will cause any errors.

seems like a good mod!

This mod is pretty epic for a totally different playstyle. Would love if you could turn the hostility on during the day. Little immsersion breaking that i can jog around inside a house full of zeds as long as i dont bump any lol. Superb work though, and great idea.

Is there a way to make zombies go inside but remain hostile instead of going dormant?

can i enable this mid playthrough?

Are you running any other mods Benji? Anything that affects zombie behavior might over write this one

not working for me. zombies are still just acting regularly. any suggestions?

Is there any way to make zombies more sensitive indoors?

Do they attack if you go inside a house during the day or are they still "sleeping"? Are the sleeping tied to clock or the amount of light?

@Vilian44 Nope; it's intended behavior. The Zombies "sleep" during the day hours. You'll wanna check out the Darkseekers mod if you want them to hide during the day but still be awake. It's a modified version of this mod

i found out that you can basically do whatever you want around zombies during the day, like you really have to go out of your way to wake them up. am i doing something wrong?

during night u should make it so they wonder

is there a way to make zombies proc while they're indoors?

what if its day, and you leave your base, but you comeback to a destroyed base, since they fear the sun?

can you make zombies die if they stay in the sun for too long?

I apreciate the mod, I can play "I am legend" scenario with that.

Is it possible to do the opposite of this? That zombies are powered by sunlight and stop moving at night or in the dark?

is it possible to make it so zombies get damage by the sun like in the movie I Am Legend

@TurgidJuiceTree I think a good fix for this would be if zombies were also okay hanging out in the shade underneath trees if there were no buildings in decently close proximity. It would also make driving on long country roads spooky because if it reaches nighttime zeds might start spilling out onto the roads and into your way

This mod can be particularly dangerous when you have just spawned since any zombies nearby will begin breaking windows and doors to enter your residence.

That being said I run this with hive mind with 25 hive mind sight range. So zombies know what other zombies know within that distance.

To survive I run this with Climbing which allows me to jump onto flat roofs of buildings.

After the initial attack phase the zombies really do stay inside and if you travel some distance where zombies have not spawned. There you will find empty buildings which can make for a better base.

unlike other mods you may need to be proactive about keeping zombies away from your base since they will be moving at night, the next day might bring another attack.

Great Mod! just throwing some ideas out there!

Does this work co-op? im not able to have it work at all they wont sprint even at night for me maybe bc im hosting a co-op?

will zombies attack you while inside? i want to know if it is still safe to go INside during the day.

For some reason, the mod is not appearing in the sandbox setting, nor working. Could someone help me?

One big issue I'm having. I'm in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, and on the 4th day I suddenly get swarmed by hundreds of zombies through the treeline. I'm guessing that they all chose MY interior cabin over the closest nearby town, which is crazy. Do you think that they could differentiate rural from urban better? Or anything that could fix this?

Wouldn't it be possible to make zombies die if they were exposed to the sun?

make me lag lol
