No Rest for the Wicked
Zombies are not affected by the sun anymore...
About this Mod
"But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked" -Book of Isaiah 57:20-21
The quote doesn't have much to do with the mod, but it's where the phrase comes from. You could read into it being me, the Dev, being wicked instead of the zombies.
This is a lighter weight mod for making zombies spawn in the day at a reasonable amount, being more plug and play than In-Control if you will (In-Control is way better than this one if the configs here are insufficient for you). If you are wondering, the configs are self-explanatory and the mod should be compatible with Hordes.
The spawning works as a global system, meaning it tags day-spawned zombies anywhere, so just understand that before changing it around. But to close it off, have fun and enjoy yourself...
