Description
This mod addresses the need for more complex and long lasting injury and addiction systems. Some complications can appear easily while others take more time, "luck" and specific circumstances. Works both in SP and MP and can be added to existing saves.





  • Hypothermia combined with the cold sickness can give you further health problems. Such as flu, frostbite, headache, aspiration and kidney problems. Very low hunger and thirst levels can give you kidney or stomach problems. Food poisoning can damage your kidneys, give you headaches or hearth problems.
  • All the long lasting health complications have random chances(Less while in 'Healing') to cause you random amount of pain in specific locations of your body. Untreated frostbites will also "crack" and cause tiny scratches that bleed. With untreated kidney injury and stomach ulcer there is a super small chance for you to get 'Prone To Illness' or 'Slow Healer' traits or to loose 'Resilient' or 'Fast Healer' traits.
  • Headaches, Aspiration and Arrhythmia only heal on their own and first two of them are gone pretty quick. Everything else needs certain medicine that will make the negative effects appear with less frequency and starts to heal the complications. There is still a small chance that the complication will loose its 'Healing' status and you need to give it another treatment.
  • There are 4 types of medicine - palsam for scars and frostbites, vitamin mix for stomach and kidneys and antibiotic water and herbal remedy that can also be applied to kidney and stomach problems but would also lower the infection caused fever or cold caused flu. I suggest using them 1/2 and 1/4 at a time to make them last longer, as every "bite" counts as one roll. You may need to use the cures many before they get your healing going - or they might work with just one use.


  • Wound infection can lead to a fever that can be lethal in certain conditions.
  • Very Underweight and Obese people are more vulnerable to this fever. Fast Healer trait in the other hand gets benefits.
  • Everyone else - if you have enough food and water then the fever goes down nice and easy. With medicine its even faster and probably pose no serious threat at all.
  • All wounds that get infected might get you scars that hurt even after the wound is healed. They heal over time and the healing can be faster with proper care.


  • Drunkness itself lasts a lot longer and raises your endurance and lowers fatigue just a bit.
  • You can get addicted from cigarettes and alcohol. Every cigarette you smoke ads to an invisible sum that constantly decreases, but if you smoke too much cigarettes and go over a certain number then you risk getting addicted. If you have been a chain smoker for a long time then you risk getting asthma. When you are drunk it ads to an invisible sum that constantly decreases, but if you drink too much and too often and go over a certain number then you risk getting addicted. If you have been a chain drinker for a long time then you risk getting kidney trouble.
  • Can also choose to quit smoking and alcohol and try to beat the addiction. To beat them you have to not smoke for a while and for alcohol you need to be sober and not drink for a while + not too depressed in both cases.
  • General effects of the Cigarette addiction is as in vanilla. Alcoholics will get random daily complications that will get them bit unhappy, stressed or even scratched. Alcoholics will start to get angry when not drunk and if it finally reaches on its max(Might take a while) there are further penalties to their hunger, thirst, fatigue and endurance. Once you drink the anger goes down. You can also keep the anger in check while being not too depressed. Cigarettes may lower the anger and fatigue as well.
  • Alcoholics have a super tiny chance to go crazy. It is a once a day 1% chance roll that can only happen while drunk.
  • Crazy people hear random voices and say random stuff. Crazy trait can disappear on its own over time.
  • While drunk, your character will hickup, say or do random stuff or even randomly scream. These actions can be heard by zombies as well and screaming and clapping can echo pretty far so be careful where you get drunk.
  • Being super drunk or super tired(Takes over a day to progress AFTER getting maximum tired moodlet) changes the screen overlay. Watch out for getting too tired for too long as it causes almost a complete blackout eventually. You can still operate yourself towards a sleeping spot but fighting in that condition is almost impossible.






I suggest using my following mods for even better experience of this one : Herbal Medicine Plus and Food Preservation Plus I also suggest not using Dynamic Traits mod if you are using mine.

PLANNED. :
Maybe more health problems? More cures for sure. Its realllllly hard to test this kind of mod so will see.

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.

Used the method in Immersive Overlays mod for my drunkenness and tired effects.

Hey Spoon,
Loving the Health+ mod, it’s been a great addition to our server.

Just wanted to flag a small MP issue: players near someone with the Crazy trait are also hearing the hallucinated voices, even if they don’t have the trait. It’s caused some confusion in our roleplay server.

Not sure if it’s fixable, but figured I’d let you know. Appreciate the work you’ve put into the mod!

SOTO? Several Oblong Tangerine Orangutans? I mean, that doesn't even seem like a thing, but then again, a zombie apocalypse isn't a real thing either.

Will it be compatible with SOTO?

Cmon man update this mod please. i absolutely loved it in B41.
yaukmd 18 Jan @ 9:20pm 
the use of ZombRand function seems to have fatal error, making the whole mod logic catastrophic.

It was last updated 13 Jun, 2023. B42 unstable released on 17 Dec, 2024.

So no, it doesn’t.
