Realistic Disease Mod[B42.13+]
Realistic Disease Mod – More Depth, More Danger, More Immersion
This mod expands Project Zomboid with a realistic and detailed disease system.
Every illness is based on real medical causes, symptoms, and environmental factors. Diseases are no longer short‑lived; they can last for several days and arise from understandable conditions, player decisions, and environmental influences.
This mod is under active development and leaks some features
Main Features
[list]
[*] Realistic disease causes
[/list]
Colds, flu, pneumonia, gastrointestinal infections, wound infections, tetanus, rabies, plague, malaria and many other diseases arise from real risk factors such as cold, wetness, injuries, dirty hands/face, contact with corpses, insect bites (not yet available), or bites in general.
[list]
[*] Symptoms with real logic
[/list]
Each disease has its own chain of symptoms: fever, nausea, weakness, loss of appetite, hallucinations, pain, neurological issues, and more.
[list]
[*] Environment‑dependent triggers
[/list]
Temperature, humidity, wind, body wetness, hygiene, proximity to zombies, corpses, stress, nutrition, and exhaustion all influence the risk of getting sick.
[list]
[*] Dangerous complications
[/list]
An untreated cold can develop into pneumonia.
Wounds can become infected, weakening your immune system.
Bites can cause rabies or infections.
[list]
[*] New survival strategies
[/list]
[b]Pay attention to clothing, hygiene, nutrition, sleep, and your surroundings to stay healthy.[/b]
Gameplay Impact
[list]
[*] Diseases are the result of your decisions.
[*] Hygiene, weather, and injuries become more important.
[*] Medical treatment becomes more strategic.
[*] Symptoms must be observed and interpreted correctly.
[*] Each disease has its own risks, progression, and treatment options.
[/list]
Dynamic Immune System
Your character now has a real immune system that determines how susceptible they are to diseases. It reacts to what you do in the game.
[list]
[*] Nutrition plays a major role
[/list]
Regular and sufficient nutrition keeps the immune system stable.
Long periods of hunger or poor food intake weaken the body and increase the risk of getting sick. Good, regular meals help maintain a stable immune system.
[list]
[*] Injuries weaken you
[/list]
Every scratch, cut, or major injury challenges the body.
Frequent or poorly treated injuries lower immunity and make infections more likely.
[list]
[*] General condition matters
[/list]
If you are constantly overtired, dehydrated, soaked, or completely exhausted, it directly affects your defenses.
[list]
[*] Diseases influence each other
[/list]
If you are already sick, your immune system is busy and you become more vulnerable to additional problems.
A small cold can turn into something more serious if you don’t take care of yourself!
Blood Sugar System
This mod introduces a realistic blood sugar system that reacts to nutrition, activity, and diseases.
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) affect stamina, concentration, mood, and even the risk of dying.
[list]
[*] Nutrition becomes vital
[/list]
Pay attention to carbohydrates, proteins, and regular meals to keep your blood sugar stable!
Poor nutrition, fasting, or excessive sugar intake have direct effects on your health.
[list]
[*] New risks and synergies
[/list]
Diseases like diabetes make blood sugar management even more important. (Not yet available)
