“Fancy Zombie Variants” adds 52 new variants for the each “tier” of the vanilla zombies (standard, feral and radiated), for a total of 156 new zombie variants, to make your game more colorful and diverse, and randomizes the walking type for humanoid vanilla zombies, except for the Spider zombie and the Demolitioner, for even more fun.
This mod DOES NOT replace the vanilla zombie variants, but ADDS ON TOP OF THEM.
It is compatible with every other mod that adds new zombies or edit zombie stats and even many overhauls, as long they do not delete the vanilla zombies (for obvious reasons 😉).
This mod does not have any other requirements and can be used right away without having to download or install any other mod.
High quality textures employed, but optimized for best game performance.
The pictures only show a very few of the variants.
The zombies will naturally spawn in the world, in vanilla POIs, modded POIs, wandering hordes and even Horde Night.
If you like this idea, more will definitely be made, so let it be known in the comments! 🥰
Here you have a small video where some of the variants are animated and a version of “Thriller” is made 😄.
Say good bye to repetitive boring vanilla, say Hello to Fancy Zombie Variants! 💜
Big thanks to all the nice and awesome people in Guppy Modding Discord and specially, Mumpfy, for always being so kind and patient 💜.
Hope you enjoy the mod 💜. Let it be known too if you have suggestions or find bugs.

3– Does the mod require EAC to be turned OFF? No, this mod can be use with both EAC ON and OFF, it does not matter.

Ha! finally black zombies
awesome mod, I have downloaded a few of your mods, and I must say, keep up the amazing work!
Very nice job, These look lovely! This makes zombies even more realistic like because they have even more variety of clothing. Keep up the great work mate!
Thank you! I am happy to see that you like it 💜
i have a mod that removes radiated zombies, will adding this mod cause them to spawn again??
Hi!
No, it will not add them back.
If you open the console and look in your player log you will just see a yellow warning pointing to the fact that there are no radiated zombies in the game, so some of the edits my mod is trying to make will not apply. You can ignore it, it will not affect your game.
Have fun! 💜
Thank you – this is awesome. Applied it to a heavily modded game on day 78 (after doing a backup) and it works perfectly.
Thank you!
I hope you have fun with it 💜
Looks awesome. Will this work with Darkness Falls?
Hi, thank you! 🥰
Yes, it is compatible with Darkness Falls. Darkness Falls and Rebirth are the 2 overhauls I tested for overhaul compatibility so I know it is perfectly compatible with both.
It should be compatible with most other overhauls, as long as they do not completely delete the vanilla zombies (for obvious reasons 😄).
Have fun! 💜
tried running this – luckily had done a save game backup, it’s literally in a game breaking state at the moment. Zombies were working but it added terrain / rock walls into my base that had been dug out. Doesn’t seem compatible with existing saves. Would also get console errors that would keep repeating so fast I couldn’t close console and had to take manager to close the game 🙁
Hi!
It is literally impossible for this mod to cause that on it self, being added at the start of the game, or mid game, or when being removed mid game either 😉.
Not only does it not contain a single line of xml that could remotely cause that, but I have also test it intensively in dozens of test games without problems. It has also being tested inside FNS better 7dtd collection, including more than 200 mods, without any issue or error, and even with some overhauls, such as Rebirth, adding it quite late in game, without any issues either.
Seeing that you also have red errors in the console (again, nothing that this mod causes) the most likely explanations for your problem would be:
1- You are using my mod together with another mod that deletes one or more vanilla zombies. That, like it is clearly explained in the mod description, would most likely cause issues.
2- You are using or have added another mod together with mine, and that other mod is causing the issues.
If you provide me with a player log I can take a look and help you find the problem, if you want. You are very welcome to do that in the official forum thread for the mod, or in my discord channel (both links in the mod description) or even send me a PM in discord if you prefer that way 🥰.
