Clean UI B42.12 Hotfix [DEPRECATED]

Project Zomboid: Clean UI B42.12 Hotfix – No Longer Required

For players of Project Zomboid who utilized the Clean UI B42.12 Hotfix mod, there’s important news regarding its functionality. This supplementary mod was developed as a temporary measure to ensure seamless compatibility with the Build 42.12 updates for the popular CleanUI mod. However, as of October 16, 2025, all the fixes and improvements previously offered by the hotfix have been officially integrated into the main CleanUI mod itself.

What This Means for Your Game

If you are running a version of CleanUI updated on or after October 16, 2025, the Clean UI B42.12 Hotfix mod is no longer necessary. It no longer provides any unique features or fixes that aren’t already present in the primary CleanUI mod. Continuing to run both simultaneously can lead to conflicts or simply redundant processing, impacting your game’s performance and stability.

Steps to Take for a Clean Installation

To ensure a smooth transition and maintain optimal game performance, it is highly recommended that you disable and then unsubscribe from the Clean UI B42.12 Hotfix mod on any existing save files. Follow these simple steps:

• Load your Project Zomboid save game.
• Navigate to the in-game mods menu.
• Locate and disable the “Clean UI B42.12 Hotfix” mod.
• Click “Apply” to confirm the changes to your save file.
• After applying the changes, exit the game and unsubscribe from “Clean UI B42.12 Hotfix” via your Steam Workshop library.
• Ensure you have the latest version of the main [B42] CleanUI V2.1 mod installed.

Historical Features of the Hotfix

While no longer needed, it’s worth noting the valuable contributions this hotfix made during the Build 42.12 transition. Previously, it addressed:

• Corrections to container capacity displays.
• Integration of the B42.12 unwanted items system.
• Enhancements to the transfer function.
• Improved compatibility with the SmarterStorage mod.
• Support for renaming vanilla containers.
• Various other patches for Build 42.12 compatibility.

We extend our gratitude to all users who employed this hotfix during the transitional period. Your engagement helped refine the Project Zomboid modding experience. The integration of these fixes into the main CleanUI mod signifies the successful completion of its temporary role.
