Description
This mod addresses the need for vanilla friendly entertainment options. It makes some items playable and gives you a small boredom reduce bonus. Works both in SP and MP.





  • Dice can be played visually as it rolls real numbers via actual item and also the character says out loud the number that is being rolled. Needs dice and a paper cup(mugs can be used too) to be played - both can easily be crafted.

  • Playable Flute and Banjo with proper animations, craft system, learning system and real audio songs. You get to know more new songs with practice. There are 4 unique more advanced songs that only someone with 'musical hearing' trait can learn. Audio is from public domain copyright free samples.

  • Cards, Yoyo, Cube and Checkers can be played via crafting menu and they all take different times to complete and give different mood boosts(Each session is further randomized). Yoyo and Cube can be played while walking. Checkers board along with its pieces can be crafted. They make you slightly tired so you wont spam them too much.

  • Crossword and Wordsearch magazines have been converted into famous 90's magazines and give much more boredome/unhapiness reduction + they wont disappear after reading them but rather convert into ordinary magazines that after reading will turn into old magazines.

  • Old Magazines and Newspapers can be studied over and over and over again to gain extra XP - but it drains your fatigue and gives anxiety with every session so the recipe can't be abused. You can gain one type of skill per turn but all the main crafting skills are on the pool so there is a chance to gain any of them. Chances are : 25% to get 25 XP, 25% to get 5 XP and 50% to loose extra happiness on top of the fixed one. Using my Essential Crafting mod you can turn those old magazines into toilet paper or sheets of paper that can be used as fuel and start fires.

  • Your character will say random famous quotes after a study.

  • Find The Holy Bible and start yelling out verses from it. 75 different quotes from the bible will be randomly said out loud and other people see that too. Only works in multiplayer. Bible can be studies as well - giving you 30-30-30 chances or either just getting tired and stressed or just more happiness.

  • Non-Skill Book can be re-read but by-default lowers moddlets a lot less.

  • Hard alcohol can be poured into cups to get more unhappiness reduction from it(1 bottles=4 cups roughly). It is a workaround to disinfecting system that uses happiness points and I cant raise that too high on the bottles(would be cheaty). Drinking from a cup gives you more unhapiness reduction but hunger and calories are divided correctly(Even gives you bit less for balance reasons)

  • Frogs, Small Animals and Zombie corpses can be dissected to gain medical XP. Following amount of XP is given : Frog-20(5 after reaching level 2), SmallAnimal-40(10 after reaching level 3), Zombies-60(15 after reaching level 4). Drains your fatigue and gives anxiety with every session. There is also a small chance you can injure your hands.

  • Cut your own hands or even stab yourself... because... why not?

  • Russian Roulette - 1/6 chance of actually killing yourself - if not then you gain Aiming and Loading XP and wont loose the ammo.

It is suggested to use general XP gain modifiers on your sandbox/server options and/or my following mods Slower Actions and Slower Reading along with this one.










PLANNED. :
Playable Drums and Harmonica with proper animations, craft system, learning system and real audio songs.


This is part of... :
Project Realistic Overhaul - Set of mods I've created that will overhaul the vanilla game experience to be more hardcore and true to life, but on the other hand leaves you the option to make it through and survive. It makes items and actions have more value and makes the world more alive.

Haven't played PZ for a while but I have no objections for my mods to be taken over by somebody else and updated/used any way they like!

Iirc Spoon stopped modding, people, so anything y'all say or want, it ain't gonna happen unless someone makes a "Continued" version of this mod
