Ain't That A Kick In The Head? (Start With A Headshot Wound)
Functional on Both 42 and 41.
Inspired by Fallout New Vegas's Courier 6 opening and also More Traits "burn ward patient" Trait.
This mod adds 2 Negative traits that should shake up your opening and make things a little bit more tense as you scavenge about looking for medical supplies to carefully remove that lump of lead sitting rent free in your head and stitch closed the wound,
all while ensuring recovery time isn't slowed by infection.
as long as it sits in your head you are looking at greatly reduced max health and a constant wave of Agony to remind you its still there.
when you first spawn your health WILL tickle down to your new max. which will reduce your combat effectiveness and ability to aim.
try not to sustain too many other injuries or you'll find out quickly enough you aren't as tough as you thought you were, even if the extra wounds are bandaged.
Traits -Headshot Survivor. +8 Points.
you spawn with a bullet stuck in your head, plus a deep wound, but it is bandaged and you have a spare bandage. that should help keep it stabilized.
-A Real Kick In The Head. +10 Points.
You spawn with a Bullet stuck in your head, plus a deep wound, the kicker? you've no bandages and its bleeding.
better get something to stop the flow of blood and quick.
Why did I make this mod? I wanted a mod where the player will spawn with a critical wound that can make gameplay risky and require the player to search for specific items to heal from it. a wound like this greatlyreduces your max health, with the pain and injury level making combat more challenging, even sleeping can be a challenge.
one thing i know about most project zomboid Fans, They love a good challenge, I believe the term is "I like the way this sucks!"
Plus. I also like the idea of how it can explain how the player poof's into existance.
they didn't. they just caught a very nasty head wound and can't remember anything after regaining consciousness.

edit :
to answer "The" question that'll get asked a bit.
the boots come from "Boots Expanded 11 for B41 and B42"
The Pose? unsure. it came from one of these.
Fuu's Roleplay Poses, Silly's Roleplay Actions, TTRP Poses
i also highly recommend these clothes mods, the 1st one adds average but uniquely dressed zeds to find.
Authentic Z
ahz clothing
The Unlimited
ClothesBox Redux
Yaki's Makeshift Clothing
Strange Wardrobe
and these last two.
-Survivor Radio V3.6.1
because i love hearing tv's or radio stations that got left on adding some ambiance to an area or as a warning there is a sound creating device that might attract the zeds.
-[B41/B42] Mini Health Panel
a handy way to realize you got a bleeding neck wound.
i don't recommend anything involve that anime blue archive given most of them are underaged school girls.
why anyone would go and play as a 16 year old girl in a game like this is beyond me. probably some fetish.
closing thought I really really wish I had a copy of TerrorZeds by planetalgol. it was my favourite mod. id=2192907953
I searched high and low all sorts of websites, even waybackmachine.
I don't wanna go bugging a guy like that because he probably gets it alot.
and if theres one thing i know about veteran long term modders, they are often very tired of people bugging them.
I liked how you'd hear a bit of Radio static and thats the signal there is a special around somewhere.
will they be a common sprinter or something much worse like the bride zombie or necromancer. that was fun to find out.
