AECmod is a great place for people who are looking for a familiar 7 Days to Die experience, enhanced by new themes, gameplay, and strategy elements.
Showcasing some of the most powerful mods available, AECmod uses SCore and XNPCCore to present new functionality, visceral situations, and daunting challenges. Vehicle Madness mod allows players waterway travel across this massive 12k map. Players can lockpick doors, trigger dynamic music, use blocks at hub POIs to spawn NPCs, then hire those NPC to guard, patrol, or bringing more firepower to the fight. To top it all off, Wookie Nookie's TheWinchester Mod grants players many quality of life improvements and immersion options, including enhanced zombie hordes, increased backpack size, and  Although there is a dark secret and rich story hidden beneath the mountains of Warm Springs, there is wild fun in a nomadic playthrough, where players makes no allegiances, no promises, and no guarantees to anyone other than themselves. Will you be a hero? Will you be a villain? Is there even a such thing in a post-World War 3 society? 

CRITICAL UPDATES: Localization.txt file fixed, which caused dialogue and note text not to display. Music has been removed for copyright claim-free streams. Thanks for the feedback, I'm listening - the sound blocks are still in the mod, but sounds.xml has been removed, therefore the music will no longer trigger. City of Covington redesigned by hand with Compopack48.

Special thanks to Krunch for his work on the Warm Springs map, as well as Guppycur, Bdubyah, Shavick, Sphereii and Xyth, and so many others that helped me along my 7DtD modding journey, and without their work in the community this dream would not be possible. Thanks y'all! 

This mod is in it's very early stages, but it has been play-tested for countless hours on dedicated servers, Steam multiplayer, and single player (all on a potato i3 Radeon RX550 computer).
