Zombie Fix
You now have to go into your workshop downloads folder after subscribing, and manually move, location typically is "steamapps/workshop/contents/108600/2896255721", copy the "zombie" folder from "2898756117/mods/Zombie Fix" into the "SteamLibrarysteamappscommonProjectZomboid"
Game updates, and verify game integrity will revert this file back to default. I apologize but this is now the only way to accomplish this (out of my control) and is client sided.
Fixes most issues with zombies Disappearing. Brings Zomboid from good to great again!! (If you watch the video, skip to the last 30 seconds)

I just made a mod out of it so it’s easy for you to make PZ more immersive for you and friends.
Zombie Culling still works as intended as the screenshots show. one is with tons of zombies and the next was a little less than a 300 tiles away. (far enough for game to unload)
Extra Description for non power users: Normally PZ will keep track of zombies and eventually if it realizes they are not in a place they "should be" and with proper vision, it will prepare to remove them from the map permanently. The way it works with desync, can cause the game to lose track and remove zombies that are in range and in your vision cone. In a perfect world, they will only despawn when they are 20 units out from you and also out of vision in most cases. This removes that limitation. Zombies still are removed from map like normal when you leave the area (see screenshots of me with tons of them, and then next screenshot is me leaving the area.) They will appear like any normal PZ game when you enter the area with zombies, they are just able to gather in larger crowds. I will post a video of what the issue would look like.
This does NOT change your current settings whatsoever, just changes how the game handles zombies, and doesn’t remove them from game when they are out of vision cone. Also allows a higher number of zombies in your vicinity. (vanilla is 500, this is technically max, which almost noone will ever see.)
***If you spawn a ton of zombies or play with insanely high pop, it could cause you to lag.***
