Known bugs:
- Turn off subtitles when using this mod. I have been working on editing the subtitles but for now they show the wrong character and city names, so I suggest keeping them off.

This total conversion mod aims to already include most of the features and things you'll need to enjoy the apocalypse without adding a bunch of other mods. However if you MUST add more mods I'm strongly suggesting you only use the mods listed on this page. I cannot guarantee stability of experience if you use other mods that I do not suggest.
I personally prefer the 1.2 Horde pak version:
Massive Zombie Hoards
Athletic Deacon (Better Stamina)
Better Flashlight
Explosion Tweaks
Modern Silencer
Better Binoculars
The AMRRA Cut (Reshade)
Darker Nights (Dark Sky with Moon & Exposure at 40%)
ADDITIONAL MOD TYPES YOU SHOULD NEVER RUN WITH THIS:
-Do not run any additional character or clothing mods.
-Do not run any weapon crosshair or mods that adjust melee weapons.
-Do not run any freaker/zombie mods (except for what is listed here)
-If you run any mods that I do not list here, I cannot offer support if you experience bugs.

Why did you make this mod?
I love TWD universe and followed the comic, TV and game series ever since the beginning. I've never gotten a Walking Dead action game that I've really enjoyed, so I decided to make the experience I want through modding. This project has hundreds of hours of passion put into it, all done for free and all for the love of the Walking Dead.
Can I play as Rick Grimes or other Walking Dead characters?
This project revolves around the player playing as Daryl Dixon. It will include all the necessary clothing and appearance options that you need to play in the mod. All other Walking Dead universe characters will be side characters or villains in the game. You can play as several optional characters such as Rick,Alpha, Negan, Merle and others in the challenge modes, currently. I am considering releasing a full version of this mod with players playing as Rick but I am unsure when or if this will come out.
Can I use other character mods to play this?
I am strongly suggesting that players do not use other character mods while playing this. I am heavily editing multiple characters in game, so any changes to the files with regards to character edits could break this game. Check out the info on how-to-play for more.
Is this mod compatible with my already started game?
Technically yes, you can jump right into a game you have already played or saved but we recommend you start with a fresh new game.
Will you change this mod or character to another character or add a character I prefer?
Please do not ask me to change major elements of this project. I am okay with feedback but unlikely to make major changes to the project such as character changes/edits. Changing one character model takes a significant amount of config and blueprint work. I have thoroughly considered all aspects of this mod and it is largely what I envisioned when I began. As of now I'm fine tuning the characters I have added.
Will you offer just one aspect of this mod instead of the whole thing?
Not right now. This is intended to be a package full conversion mod. You can check out my Walking Dead zombie skins mod as optional and I offer a standard running zombies version already.
There are other options here on Nexus if you want to try and create your own experience, if this is not what you are seeking. Do NOT use the below mods WITH this conversion mod. It will cause problems. I have implemented similar systems to what is found here but they are not the same files:
Romero Swarmers
