Should I add Obese zombies? (EDIT: DONE)
Essentially, that (The mod doesn't affect zombies, only players). this post is to know wether people would like to have all shape zombies (from emmanciated to Obese, weak to muscular).

I decided against it in the beggining, since I thought It would quite possibly ruin other mods that provide this, like authentic Z (there could be clipping errors with the models, etc).

What do you think?

If you did, they should be slower, but harder to kill. I don't know what to say about lethality. If they climb over fences or through windows, it should be the equivalent of a zombie falling over.

I support it.

I think this is a really good idea

But one more thing, make it an option with obese zombies. Some people might not want them in a playthrough but do want the dynamic body shape.

That one is an excellent Idea, and a solution to the issue I had. Thx

If possible, more obese = More health and slow

예!

Why not make it a sandbox option or side mod option. I really like the ideo of seeing more variation in zeds but do agree that it would kinda suck if it heavily clashed with other mods like AZ

Absolutely, it'd be better if it was an option.

Doesn't Authentic Z have obese zombies?

I would love to see this, it's the feature I was looking most forward to in this mod to be honest.
I think it would also be worth adding in an emaciated variant as well, which far as I can tell would be a bit easier in conception as opposed to all the work you so strenuously did for the obese zombies (editing clothes, etc).
And by all means I don't think there's a need for any athletic body builder zeds out there or other wild variants lol. But having a fat one, the normal one, and an emaciated/sort of boney one would be fantastic for visual variety, especially with something like that mod that gives zombies decayed clothing/removes items of clothing.

Of course I too enjoy the idea of having different stats for zombies in varying bodily conditions as some are suggesting but to me that seems outside the scope of this mod and would cause quite a bit of compatibility problems if not sorted from the get go, and as such it's something that could come later to avoid feature creep/too much extra work after you've already done so much.
That being said it would be great though to see some sort of spawn density options which would in turn include the option to fully disable spawns to keep compatibility with other mods (authentic z, etc)


(AUTHENTIC Z COMPATIBILITY : from my quick digging it seems as simple as editing the fat zombie clothes from spawning, as far as i can tell it's a clothing item forced upon zombies to give the illusion of them being obese, unlike this mod which changes the model entirely)
