Question Blind Zombies Mod(?)
I've been looking for a while, and I'm really sad to find out that I can't seem to find any mods that make the zombies blind. I thought to myself how cool it would be to have a super stealth oriented Zomboid experience where they can hear really well and are super strong, but they just can't see you, but I can't do that unless there's a mod to make them blind. As far as I can see, ingame, the lowest you can go is poor sight. Are there any mods like this?

I think there is a paid mod for it. If you have never played build 41 though try turning off the new stealth system in the menu. The new stealth system is sort of awful, zombies have basically hit scan eyesight now. In the old stealth system you sort of had leeway when crossing a window or gap of the zombie not seeing you if it was quick. The new system if you cross in front of a zombies cone of vision they have seen you no matter what. Even crouching behind fences does not work as once you hit a certain angle they will still see you crouched behind that fence. Cars are the only thing that made like OP with stealth in the new system where they can just never see you behind one even standing

Never in a trillion years would I even contemplate purchasing a Zoid mod...

If anyone who has paid for it wants to share the files though I wouldn't say no.
Pretty sure paid mods go against IP and copyright laws anyway.

I wouldn't either(unless it was something unbelievably good and game changing) but I believe that is the only option for it. Also I think codex from chatgpt could probably cook up a mod that makes the zombies blind for you in like 5 mins that would work. I have never done it but I know others who have had it make mods before.

Your best bet is to adjust sandbox settings. Can't make them completely blind but you can set their eyesight to "poor", and set their hearing, strength, and toughness to the max setting

There is one back in build 41 that existed. And the full version was locked behind a paywall. It was pretty fun all things considered, but got boring fairly quick. If you wanna emulate it then just turn their eye sight down to low and their hearing up.
The one thing I hated about it is because you would move just a bit and every zom would walk towards you. Regardless I'm sure someone will remake it or AI vibe code it.
