Anthro Survivors (the “Furry Mod”)

Transform Your Project Zomboid Experience with Anthro Survivors

Are you ready to see Project Zomboid from a whole new perspective? The Anthro Survivors mod introduces a unique twist to the zombie apocalypse, allowing you to step into the paws, hooves, or claws of an anthropomorphic animal. This isn’t just a cosmetic change; it’s a fundamental shift in how you’ll navigate the dangers of Knox County.

Embrace Your Inner Animal

This comprehensive mod lets you choose from a diverse roster of species, each with their own distinct visual flair. Whether you prefer the stealth of a feline, the resilience of a canine, or the cunning of a vulpine, there’s a character for every playstyle. This exciting addition fully integrates with the core Project Zomboid experience, offering a fresh challenge and a novel way to survive.

Key Features to Enhance Your Survival

The Anthro Survivors mod is packed with features designed to seamlessly blend into your existing gameplay:

• Full multiplayer compatibility, ensuring your unique survivor can join friends.
• Backward compatibility with existing saves; simply select your species upon loading.
• A wide array of playable species, including various breeds of cats, dogs, foxes, wolves, and more, alongside the classic human option.
• Nearly all base game clothing items are compatible, maintaining your character’s ability to scavenge and dress for the occasion.
• Custom character creation UI for an intuitive species selection process.
• Dynamic fur appearance that realistically reflects blood and dirt, and even provides minor warmth and resistance bonuses.
• The ability to clean your character’s fur alongside their skin, adding a layer of immersive detail.

Navigating Build 42 and Beyond

The development team is actively working to ensure compatibility with the latest updates to Project Zomboid. While pre-release versions of Build 42 have seen successful integration, ongoing development for this rapidly evolving build presents unique challenges. Rest assured, efforts are underway to provide continued support as stability increases.

Known Quirks and Solutions

As with any ambitious mod, there may be minor visual glitches. Some headwear, like gas masks, might exhibit clipping with longer snouts. Fortunately, a dedicated sub-mod is available to resolve most of these cosmetic issues. Additionally, minor transparency differences have been reported on Windows versions, though workarounds are in place to minimize their impact. The mod also handles inventory interactions gracefully, ensuring your unique fur layer remains attached even when interacting with certain clothing management mods.
