I also realized your mod The Only Cure says its for build 42, but it doesn't show up in the mod list and the title says Build 41, just thought you should know.

I really hope he will update it to B42 soon
Pao  [author] 6 Jan @ 11:50am 
I'll try to update all my mods to B42 in due time, but no ETA since I don't have a lot of free time.

Finally had time to sit down and test. Looks like it'll need some reworking and not just a simple port over to B42. So we'll just have to be patient and wait to see if Pao returns to update.

Any chance we can get a Birthday option added? Would be great for the Roleplayers out there who'd like a reason to bake a cake! :steamthumbsup:

@FemFemScreeScree being able to earn XP faster as you grow older doesnt make sense, thats not how it works irl most of the time. I get what your saying, but maybe if you get more starting traits or something

me downloading this mod knowing I will never see it's effects in-game

at 100+ there is a chance you can die every week that passes
FenFenScreeScree 24 Mar, 2024 @ 8:16pm 
After 35 which is when age starts to set in properly, you ought to lose your fitness bonus, and your strength bonus should go to +1, however, your maturity and experience means your XP multiplier should be put at 1.1x, meaning you learn quicker than younger people.

at age 41-44, things should really start getting more difficult. Lose your strength bonus, 1.2x XP multiplier.

45-50, that's when things start going downhill. Gain a -1 fitness debuff, but a 1.35 XP multiplier.

55-60, -2 fitness, -1 strength, 1.5 XP mult.

60-65, -3 fit, -1 strength, 1.75xp

65-70, -4 fit, -2 strength, 2.0 XP

After 75? First of all, congrats for living this long. -4 fit, -3 strength, 2.5XP mult. After 85, -5 fit, -4 strength, and your XP mult drops to 1.5

After 95 (dear god) you should lose your XP mult entirely, and have -6 fit and strength.
FenFenScreeScree 24 Mar, 2024 @ 8:16pm 
What'd be crazy is if this mod had an effect on one's physical capabilities. Perhaps as you age you gradually gain a debuff to strength and fitness (moreso fitness, as one's joints tend to suffer quicker than their muscles). Perhaps if you start at, for example, 15, you gain a +1 fitness bonus but a -1 strength bonus because you haven't completed puberty and thus your muscles aren't as dense. When you get to age 18-26 you should have a +2 fitness and +2 strength bonus due to being a full-fledged, newly matured adult, but you have an XP multiplier (debuff) of 0.9, because as many people know, 18-26 year olds tend to be arrogant and think they know everything now that they're an adult, often having to learn the hard way.

At age 27 you should lose one point of your fitness bonus (so +1) while retaining strength. You're not QUITE as capable as you were in your younger days, but you're still pretty young, and you're also more intelligent as well, meaning you should lose the XP debuff.

i cant seem to change my age
espresso☕ 17 Sep, 2023 @ 1:43pm 
This mod is great, it really does provide some realism and depth to your character even being so small. The mod is small so I don't expect much, and I understand the age limit (your character cannot be younger then 18, or older then 100). I don't really think anyone would survive even a year Project Zomboid normally. I really hope this mod gets developed on in the future, or a mod like this is created where there's more stuff (you can be a kid, puberty, wrinkles, growth spurts, developing dieases as you get older, etc). If I had the skills and time, I would do so. Eitherway, would recommend! :steamhappy:

@Unknown Hybrid That seems strange. If you can post your mod logs in Bugs, please.
Unknown Hybrid 19 Aug, 2023 @ 8:50am 
This Mod seems to have made the UI on the start screen completely disappear......Just so you know. It took me 2 hours to narrow it down.
Badkarma 8 Aug, 2023 @ 1:25pm

Archadies Leafwalker 23 Jul, 2023 @ 5:29pm 
@teddbeard There is a video on youtube where a guy survived for 100 years. ButI think there was something weird about it. I can't remember right now. Anyway, have a grea rest of your day, man. :steamhappy:
teddbeard 23 Jul, 2023 @ 10:01am 
looks cool, can you also add a deteriorating trait? like when you survive 20-30 year lessens stamina and strenght, like in real life you age and so does your body but can be lessen when you exercise, depends on your others traits, but i dont think someone has survived for 30 or more years. dunno

Will player age change as you survive a year, like it used to in vanilla?
JamJayJunyah 6 Jun, 2023 @ 11:45pm

WilliamP98 4 Jun, 2023 @ 3:29pm

SolarFlare1234 4 Jun, 2023 @ 12:03pm 
balding trait that makes men at 30-40 to be locked out of hairstyles that dont have baldness
Mr. Unidentified 4 Jun, 2023 @ 11:07am 
So a game about fighting against the inevitability of one's fate in a zombie apocalypse where hardly anyone lives now has a mod where you can die of old age.

I'm sorry, I have to say that aloud because it sounds absurd.

And yet, I want it.
404_coffee.exe 4 Jun, 2023 @ 8:42am 
oh thats interesting
DETOX 4 Jun, 2023 @ 5:06am
