I have a lot of Twallan's mods, but I had zombies almost immediately after starting the new game. Maybe because I didn't run the vagrant population out of town (or whatever it says) when the new game starts?

Any mod that suppresses homeless in your town will affect zombie spawning.

[StoryProgression] (enabled by default) and [Overwatch] (disabled by default) both have options for such.

Hi, Twallan!
I kind of thought that might be it. I think I shall leave things as they are....

How to survive a zombie apocalypse?
Well that's easy. Cancel the 'zombie attack' action from your sim's queue and problem solved! seriously just keep cancelling out the action and they can't do a thing about it. Eventually they get bored and shuffle off some place else, usually complaining that they want to go to bed.
Yes, the zombies that spawn in my game are so pathetically tame it's untrue. Some of them even ring the doorbell when the door isn't locked in the first place. So polite!
After a night of groaning and shuffling along my lawn, they will then start yawning before getting in to cars in the morning. Yes, they might spawn fron the ground but for some reason they always leave in their fancy cars.

I don't even bother having my witch sim cast spells on them anymore because they never fight back and just stand there letting her do whatever she wants.
I think I'd actually like them to be a bit scarier and more flesh eating, at least they wouldn't seem so pointless then! In my experience of them so far, they are up their with imaginary friends in the ranks of the most annoying creature EA has ever produced.

Not one Zombie has entered my property.

All I did was have a wall fence around my home and Locked my gate door Locked to "Allow Me and Household only."

No mods needed. :D

They do not, at least in my game. Maybe some combination of other mods may be causing it. You may try removing all mods and waiting for full moon to see what happens.
anak ponti: thank you for the tip.

You, sir, are the ultimate troll. Brilliant

Twallan posted that Story Progression or Overwatch have the capability of stopping zombie spawn, and I have both in my game. SP was set to not allow homeless, and zombies qualify as shambling homeless.

I came up with the idea (last night) - and I'm sure somebody else has already done this - but, I planted my garden on one wall of the house, put floor tiles all around it, then built a room around it and used an arch for entry to my 'Garden Room'. The zombies will not spawn inside any homes or rooms. They get pretty frustrated trying to get the garden, though. "Do vaaaa! Miso! Ugggh!" LOL they do get annoying keep listening to them though.. O yea, almost forgot, I added a nice stereo so my Sims can JAMM whilst gardening! They love it.

Hmm. Interesting. I have a freaking zombie apocalypse in every single town. They focus on any plants growing in Central Park (SV) and MY Sim's home... and, they are there ALL THE TIME. No modds used regarding zombies.

After the zombies in my hood finish eating plants all night, most of them groan, throw up, and then go home.

I too am playing a relatively zombie free existence. I think Twallan said that allowing SP to get rid of the homeless would block zombies... so I don't. They are occuring, they just don't come near my sim.

I found one while playing in Riverdale, Constance whateverherlastname is... I spotted her from world view because she was running like the incredible hulk. When I zero'd in an moused over her, I got the "Constance is on her way home" message. I followed her, indeed, she went home. Later, I saw her maptag at someone else's house. I zero'd in intime to see her shamble to the stairs, march up them with efficient briskness, then shamble over to ring the doorbell. Neighbor wasn't home. By this time, I had teleported my witch in (aside: is part of the "moon madness" switching your sims into different clothing? Not appreciated EA).

Neighbor returned, Constance looked at her, she looked at Constance. Constance briskly came down to street level, glanced at my sim then vanished into her car and went back home. Clearly, I need to change my sims LTW, she's never going to be able to cure 10 zombies...


The only time I've run into more than one zombie was when I used Traveler to visit Twinbrook. I've been zombie-free in Moonlight Falls, Barnacle Bay, Riverview and Fortress Rock.

I wasn't trying to be a troll at all. D: I was just simply saying what I did from preventing the zombies to enter my property.Which it's true and I don't need a mod from preventing a zombie population or entering my property.

Unless you're one of the people that don't like a having a fence around your home which I totally respect. (we all have our preferences. ) Then you can download the mod if ya'll like.

Brilliant! Next house I build will have one of these!

And now with patch 1.39, we know that any saves done on a full moon have been causing continual zombie spawn. Ughhh. EA.

You can also use the mood lamp that came with Supernatural. Just set it on a table in the yard. The only downside is that it goes out after 2 sim hours and you have to relight it. Zombies are amazingly attracted to it and will go straight for it and stare at it until it goes out or the sun comes up.

Twallan (or anyone else who knows), for those of us that might be interested in seeing Zombies but have StoryProgression, how would we disable the homeless suppression? I can't seem to find anything in the SP options.

I actually kind of want to see masses of zombies in-game. It might be interesting, just for something a bit different during a full moon instead of 3-speeding through the night while everyone sleeps.

"NRaas \ Story Progression \ General Options \ Options: Households \ Manage Homeless".

I was so excited at the idea of my witch blasting a Zombie...but nope. Just disappointment. One would think that after fire blasting someone (be it sim or zombie etc) they'd RUN AWAY!) But nope. EA clearly lives in a world of sunshine and rainbows where it's no big deal to fire bomb someone. SMH

Now all that happens is zombies ANNOY me. And I hate that I can't have a rocking chair on my porch because everybody and their pet rock ques up. (paparazzi incl)
