[B41/B42.13] I Don’t Need A Lighter

Project Zomboid: Banish the Lighter Dependency with “I Don’t Need a Lighter”

Tired of that pesky lighter going missing just when you need a smoke in Project Zomboid? This mod overhauls the vanilla smoking mechanics, bringing more immersive and logical ways to light up your cigarettes, whether you’re cruising down the road or hunkered down at a safe house.

Ignite Your Cravings: New Lighting Methods

The “I Don’t Need a Lighter” mod addresses the unrealistic scenario of being able to light a cigarette out of thin air. Now, you’ll need a suitable heat source, making the act of smoking feel more grounded within the game world. Imagine the desperation, the drive, and the sheer relief of being able to spark up thanks to the very environment around you.

Key Features for the Savvy Survivor

This mod introduces several new, interactive methods for lighting your cigarettes:

• Car Lighters: Every vehicle is now equipped with a functional car lighter. Simply have the key in the ignition or hotwire the vehicle, ensure the battery has power, and you can light up on the go.
• Heat Sources: Utilize any active heat source to light your smoke. This includes kitchen stoves, barbecues, and other similar flame-based appliances. Microwaves, however, remain non-functional for this purpose, adding a touch of realism.
• Shared Flames: Need a light in a hurry? If you’re near a fellow survivor who’s already smoking, you can “bump a light” directly from their cigarette.
• Save Game Compatibility: Worried about your existing playthroughs? This mod seamlessly integrates with your current saves, so you can implement it without losing progress.

Known Issues and Compatibility

While the mod offers a wealth of new functionality, players using gamepads may encounter a minor issue when attempting to use stoves. The mod has been developed with compatibility in mind and works well with popular mods like “Smoker,” “Green Fire,” and “More Smokes,” further enhancing your Project Zomboid experience.
