Project Zomboid Mod Answers & Guides

Proximity Inventory puts nearby corpses and containers into one list so you can take items without opening each inventory. It does not add carry weight or backpack slots. The separate FIXED Proximity Inventory listing tells you to use this original item instead.

Manage Containers files items into containers after you tell each container what it accepts. It does not decide your storage plan for you. The old 42.13 compatibility patch says it is no longer required.

You can keep practiced skills without keeping the character. Skill Recovery Journal records skills in a craftable journal that a new character can read. Keep Skill Level keeps the levels instead of asking you to write them down first. Neither one leaves your bag on the body.

Neat Crafting adds search and filters to the Build 42 crafting menu so you can work from an item you already have. It needs Neat UI Framework. It does not add a new set of buildable furniture.

You can pry with a crowbar without taking on every old convenience mod. ST Additions - Pry Open is the narrow item: a crowbar, a locked door. Common Sense for B42.20+ also pries, and it adds other tool actions. Do not enable an older Common Sense underneath that branch.

Project RV Interior for Build 42 adds interiors you can enter, so the vehicle can hold furniture and supplies. Project RV Interior Rebase is a rewrite aimed at multiplayer. It is not a drop-in: the author says it does not keep original saves or every addon.

Vehicle Repair Overhaul expands how you repair and take apart vehicle parts, so a bad seat or trunk is not an automatic reason to abandon the car. You still spend materials and skill. The Workshop page states B41 and B42 support, including multiplayer, and it showed an update on 29 September 2026.

You can add armor to cars the game already spawns. That takes more than one Workshop item. Standardized Vehicle Upgrades 3 - Core - B42 is the framework. The vanilla addon is the piece for vanilla cars, and its dependencies are not one list for every build. Vehicle Armor Crafting is a separate Build 42 crafting route.

Wandering Zombies moves zombies that are already in the world. The author says it supports B42 multiplayer, the timing can be configured, and it does not spawn new zombies. Turning respawn off in the sandbox is not this. Respawn creates new zombies. Migration moves existing ones.

The original Brita's Weapon Pack does not promise Build 42 fixes. Brita's Weapon Pack B42 Unofficial Port is a different Workshop item. It is not the original author continuing the pack. Read that port's page for the exact build, and do not treat a dependency name as proof that multiplayer works.
