True Smoking [B42MP]

Immerse Yourself in the True Smoking Experience for Project Zomboid

Step into a more realistic world within Project Zomboid with the True Smoking mod. This enhancement transforms the act of smoking from a simple, instantaneous action into a dynamic and engaging mechanic that affects your character over time. Forget quick puffs; this mod introduces a nuanced approach to satisfying a nicotine craving, adding a new layer of immersion to your survival experience.

A Realistic Smoking Mechanic

The True Smoking mod overhauls how smoking works. When you light up, any restrictive headgear you’re wearing is automatically removed. A new moodlet will appear, clearly indicating the progress of your smoke. You have the freedom to manually take puffs whenever you desire, or you can opt for passive smoking, where your character will automatically take drags when idle or if the smoke is nearing its end. This thoughtful design ensures that smoking feels like a genuine, drawn-out action rather than a momentary distraction.

Dynamic Burn Rate and Customization

The duration of your smoke is no longer fixed. The burn rate dynamically adjusts based on your actions; puffing more frequently or moving around will cause the smoke to burn faster. When idle, the smoke will naturally extinguish itself over time. Should your smoke go out, you can easily relight it to continue. Furthermore, remaining smoke is preserved, with the amount left clearly displayed on the item’s tooltip. The mod also distinguishes between different types of tobacco products, with cigars and pipes offering more potency than a single cigarette, meaning you don’t have to consume the entire item for its effects.

Optional Nicotine System

For those seeking an even deeper layer of realism, the True Smoking mod offers an optional Nicotine System. This system introduces the concepts of addiction and withdrawal, dynamically affecting your character’s traits based on their smoking habits. Nicotine accumulates as you smoke, potentially leading to addiction. While Nicotine offers minor fatigue and hunger reduction, withdrawal brings about increases in boredom and unhappiness. The system is highly configurable, allowing you to tailor the nicotine metabolism rate and tolerance levels to your preference, or even disable it entirely via the sandbox options if it doesn’t suit your playstyle.
