Once you have decided on which mods you want to use, you can download them from various modding websites such as Steam Workshop or Nexus Mods.

Step 2: Install the Mods

Now that you have your desired mods downloaded, it’s time to install them. To install mods, follow these steps:

1. Locate the “Mods” folder in your Project Zomboid installation directory.
2. Create a new folder inside the “Mods” folder with the name of your mod.
3. Extract the mod files into the newly created folder.
4. Repeat this process for all of the mods you want to install.

Note: Make sure to only install mods that are compatible with the version of Project Zomboid you are using. Installing incompatible mods can cause problems and crashes.

Step 3: Enable the Mods on Your Hosted Server

Now that your mods are installed, you need to enable them on your hosted server. Follow these steps to enable the mods:

1. Open the “server.ini” file in your Project Zomboid installation directory.
2. Add the following lines to the bottom of the file:

[Mods]mod1=modname1mod2=modname2mod3=modname3

Make sure to replace “modname1”, “modname2”, and “modname3” with the names of the mods you installed earlier. Also, make sure to number the mods sequentially (mod1, mod2, etc.).

3. Save and close the “server.ini” file.
4. Restart your hosted server.

And that’s it! Your mods should now be enabled on your hosted server.
