Reality Check (Removing Some Zombies & Animals)

This mod package makes the game less annoying for zombie purists by removing bears, cops, coyotes, demolitions, dogs, ferals, football players, mountain lions, screamers, snakes, spiders, vultures, wights, wolves, and even radiated animals and zombies. Giving the individual player full control to decide for themselves which of those critters they want removed from the game.

You can still manually spawn any of the other animals or zombies from the base/vanilla game using the entity spawner (F6), but this should keep them from spawning in-game otherwise.

Unless you do some of the quests which may spawn specific animals or zombies other than the substitutions this mod makes otherwise.

Compatibility

The latest versions of these modlets have been tested on the vanilla/base install of 7 Days To Die for PC/MAC, version(s): Alpha 19.6 b8 Stable

They may or may not work with earlier versions of 7DTD, may or may not work with experimental versions of 7DTD, may or may not work with other mods or modlets or customizations, and may or may not work with your particular server configuration.

Also, console players are out of luck with this one. Sorry!

Your mileage may vary. Caveat emptor.

Known Incompatibilities

1. These modlets DO NOT work properly with the (RETIRED) REV6:7-8’s CRISPY CRITTERS modlet. Again, decide which you want more, and stick to that path only.
2. These modlets DO NOT work properly with either of the (RETIRED) REV6:7-8’s THE GREY modlets. Again, decide which you want more, and stick to that path only.
3. These modlets DO NOT work properly with any other mods, modlets, or customizations that add, change, remove, or replace NPCs from the 7DTD game.

Consider yourself warned.

Changelog

The latest versions of these modlets are fully compatible with and have successfully passed testing for the latest STABLE version of 7DTD, Alpha 19.6 (b8) Stable.

Updated the extended version numbers within the modlets (which are visible in the console output as the modlets load), to help users know at a glance which version(s) they have installed.

Best Practices/Troubleshooting/Errors

1. rev678 strongly advise you to start a NEW game/save AFTER installing but BEFORE running these modlets. Failure to do so will likely result in an “Invalid Cast Exception” error. If you don’t start a NEW game/save AFTER installing but BEFORE running these modlets, and get errors, he’s going to tell you to start a NEW game/save.
2. Sometimes an “Invalid Cast Exception” error can be corrected by “cleaning” your player profile (either using the cleaning tool in the 7DTD Launcher, or change your player profile from the in-game menus). Again though, if you don’t start a NEW game/save AFTER installing but BEFORE running these modlets, and get errors, he’s going to tell you to start a NEW game/save.
3. If you DID start a NEW game/save, and still are having problems with these modlets, please try the following self-troubleshooting steps:

• Make sure 7DTD is not running.
• Move all of your existing modlet folders out of your Mods folder, say to your Desktop (TEMPORARILY).
• Restart the game, and see if you get the error you posted.
• If so, your game/save may be pooched, and you’ll want to delete it and start a new game/save. Restart the game, and see if you get the error you posted.
• If so, your copy of 7DTD may be pooched, and you’ll want to re-install. Restart the game, and see if you get the error you posted.
• If not, try ONLY moving his modlet folder(s) back into your Mods folder.
• Restart the game, and see if you get the error you posted.
• If so, THEN his modlet(s) may be causing your error. If that’s the case, please report back with more details (which modlets you have installed, what game version you’re running, PC/MAC/Linux/console, etc), and he will try to help you.
• If not, someone else’s product(s) may be causing your error, and you’ll want to pursue the issue further with them.
