Shay’s – Living Zone Complete – (an A-Life. alife mod)
Get the max out of the zone simulation by the latest features in this mod like unlocked special mutants to spawn in open world, progressive alife unlock system to see the zone change as you play more. The ability to talk and trade with patrols, new unique npc types in open world, spawn time changes , and LOTS more!
NO performance loss!!
This mod is a result of over 4 months of finetuning and receiving feedback of literal hundreds of players. the finetuning and feedback collection has been done in waves on the modular mod page of my alife mod, It is NOT a copy paste, it is completely build from the ground up with all the collected feedback and finetuning of the past months, it has been tested for dozens of hours before release on dozens of systems. Showing no negative impact on performance or other stuff. I hope you give this new COMPLETE mod a chance and if you come from Living Zone Modular, I truly hope you will notice the massive list of changes and the gameplay feel compared to my other versions until now. Good hunting Stalker!
