Music for the End of the World [True Music]
Requires:
True Music
Tsar's Common Library 2.0
Note: The current version's loot spawning system is a little buggy and isn't always functional. We are currently working on a huge update, Music for the End of the World 2.0, which will hopefully fix these issues. Hang in there!
Note 2: This mod is about 4 gigabytes. If that's too much for you, consider a smaller pack. It's a lot of music files, it's going to take up space on your computer and there is no smaller I can make it. Music for the End of the World seeks to be the ultimate lore-friendly True Music pack for those who just can't get enough tunes in their Apocalypse.
This monolithic True Music mod is the result of dozens and dozens of hours of work and tons of helpful requests from the Project Zomboid community. It's based on Tsar's True Music framework, and was originally titled "Rose Music", and produced for the enjoyment of the Ravenrose RP community. However, the mod far outgrew its original scope, leading to a public release.
This True Music mod adds 1,000 tracks, listed here.
This mod's features include:
- 725 completely lore-friendly tracks from the year 1993 or before.
- 250 more tracks in the 'Extended' expansion which are mostly from between the years of 1994 and 2000, but with a few between 2001 and 2004.
- 25...? tracks in the Silent Hill expansion, which adds a collection of songs from across the series... and some extremely rare extras from another 2008 horror game that drop from zombies (though this can be toggled).
- Vinyl covers for every single track from the Main and Extended branches.
- Three different kinds of rare 'loot boxes' to find that contain either 50, 25, or 10 of their respective music item.
- A completely unique loot distribution system designed to account for the vast amount of items added by this mod.
- Total customization. You can customize:
-- Whether or not Cassettes or Vinyls spawn
-- How many, and how frequently, they spawn
-- Whether cassettes can drop from zombies, and how frequently they do
-- The weight of all cassettes, vinyls, and the Boombox
-- The rate at which Boomboxes consume batteries
-- Whether or not 'loot boxes' can spawn, how many items they give, and how often they spawn
All of the mods in this pack are optional except for Music for the End of the World: Core or MusicfortheEndOP which is required for any of the packs to function. It contains no music itself, only code handling loot distribution, sandbox settings and the 'loot boxes'.

Lea, myself, did most of the creative legwork behind the mod, as well as all of the grunt work collecting, converting, and implementing songs, writing some portions of code, and generally 'designing' the mod. If you have questions or need to get in contact about the mod, I am the one to contact.
Albion wrote a great majority of the unique code that gives MFTEOTW its many powerful features, particularly the loot distribution system and item boxes. Check out her workshop page here.
Alphadin, my friend who wrote a bunch of regex for me that made updates much less time-consuming at the scale we're working at.
Corvo, the person who got me into making this mod in the first place and who gave me a tremendous RP experience on Ravenrose RP.
Tsar himself, for making True Music so easy to use and work with.
If you enjoy this mod, consider liking and favoriting it. Thank you!
