Profession Framework B42 – Hephas Edition

While working on my own occupations and traits mods, I ran into errors using the existing B42 ports of the Profession Framework. Some of my users experienced the same issues, and since I couldn’t use any of the available versions reliably, I decided to put together my own fix.
This version is restructured for Build 42, with cleaned-up code, typos, errors and a focus on stability. I’ll keep maintaining it and patching any issues that come up along the way.
It was build and published with the permission of the original author Fenris_Wolf!
Thanks for stopping by!

A huge thank you to Fenris_Wolf, the original creator of the Profession Framework.
His work was not only a massive help to the PZ community – but also one of the first mods that got me into modding Project Zomboid myself.
If you’re playing on Build 41 and want to experiment with creating your own professions, I highly recommend checking out the original version of his mod:

Adds a framework to simply adding additional professions and traits to project zomboid,
and editing the default professions. As well as simplifying the modding process and letting
professions have the ‘special’ traits (brave, lucky, etc), it also simplifies the processes
of adding starting gear to various professions/traits.
Be aware this mod adds no new professions or traits itself, it is merely a framework.
For maximum compatibility, this mod should not included in your own mod, but instead listed as
a requirement.
Yes! Fenris_Wolf included a helpful example file on his GitHub. You can check it out here: Example & Explanation[github.com]
If the issue is directly related to this B42 version, feel free to let me know and I’ll take a look when I can.
However, if it’s a general modding issue or not tied to this framework version, I may not be able to assist in detail due to limited time.
That said, you can:
- Search the comment section of the original mod
- Ask in PZ modding Discord communities
- Post your question in the comments here – if it’s something quick or minor, I or others might be able to help
