Tomb’s Player Body Overhaul
A complete overhaul of the Zomboid character models, designed with the goal of adding more detail but keeping the feel as "Vanilla+" as possible. Available for both B41 and B42 and fully integrated with Spongie’s Character Customisation, allowing for a wide range of customisability options. Kudos to Spongie and that mod for inspiring me to go all out with this. You can run it without Spongie’s mod, but I highly recommend using it.
The mod comes with 5 files:
The main mod containing the models. No textures are pre-packaged if you prefer to use vanilla / your own preference of texture.
3 options for textures. Select only one:
The default underwear ON texture.
Naked, doll-like textures with no details for using ingame underwear.
Includes female nipples + pubic hair for each sex but no explicit nudity.
and lastly:
Adds 5 additional alternate heads for both Male and Female to Spongie’s Character Customisation menu. Requires that mod to function.
- Ensure that all the mods are loaded after Spongie’s Customisation, including base body textures.
- The mod files must be enabled on both the main menu mods screen and also in the save file if you’re adding this to an existing save.
- Finally, RESTART Project Zomboid to complete the installation. The mod will not take effect correctly until the next time you restart the game as the meshes only load on startup.
I also highly recommend setting the max texture size in the settings to at least 512.
I took every care to eliminate errors, but please report any problems in the comments or pinned report thread. Safe to use with existing saves etc (but you should always make backups!)
—————–
There is a bug with the vanilla aiming system with shotguns specifically that makes you unable to aim below the waist of a zombie, and weirdly, enabling any body mod causes their ballistics hitbox to shrink to be below the waist. These issues compound and make it near impossible to hit a zombie with a shotgun.
For now I’d highly recommend pairing this mod with ATRO as it uses a different (much better) method of aiming that tracks the actual ballistics of the bullets and is way more reliable than the vanilla system.

Do note that there will be some minor clipping with vanilla items and modded items. A WIP compatibility patch is available at the link below where I’ll be putting out updates to address severe clipping issues, but i’ll be keeping it separate from the main mod and not listing it as a required file as it’s not strictly required:
More stuff is planned for the future, potential body shape variations etc, time permitting.

Further Notes:
I am not adding a penis/vagina. Nor am I making the boobs, butt, muscles or whatever bigger or smaller.
Do be aware that, while optimised, both bodies have more polygon density than vanilla. Due to how the game works they will also replace all zombies. The textures are also higher resolution than vanilla. All this to say, the mod may affect your performance. In my B42 testing with 1000+ zombies on screen with these bodies enabled I was getting 1 FPS less than vanilla but take that with a grain of salt.
