And then, they came back for more. This mod turn GTA V world into a frozen wasteland filled with zombies. It features right now: -zombies (zoned, + or - zombies depending on the zone you are in) -inventory system -loot system -grabby hands -hunger, thirst -procedural decoration (world enhancer wip) planned features: -world enhancer: car wrecks on the road, NPCs, outposts -more items -vehicles -fivem compatibility (I need testers) The goal is to survive: You experience hunger and thirst: You must find Containers, which when opened will give you a set of items, including food (tip: the metro stations are a good place to find loot) You can then open your inventory (default key, F5, navigate with the numpad keys 2, 4, 6, 8 and select with 5), to use the items. Items include: food, ammo, and weapons. You drop all your items and weapons when you die, but you can get them back by finding the crate that is placed where you die. Zombies have a nice hearing, but a bad vision, they also are much more sensible to headshots than bodyshots. The grabby hands enable you to move crates and objects, use the X key (by default) to move an object, and grab it if it is light enough. You can lock the object you want to move by using CTRL-X. You can rotate the object using the numpad. You need a gun that can aim to use this feature (sorry, couldn't get it to work with the hands). The tab key is used to change weapons. mulZombie option in options.ini is the base multiplier for zombies, with a multiplier of 100, there will be as much as 300 zombies spawned at the same time. Installation: -Copy the .asi and .ini files into your GTA V folder -(COMPLETLY OPTIONAL, USE ONLY IF YOU PREFER MORE FALLING SNOW BUT ONE OR TWO GRAPHIC BUGS)use openIV to place the file in the update folder structure in the same position in the update/update.rpf package (in the timecycle folder). You need scripthookV to use this.

A Long Winter is a script mod for Project Zomboid that extends the game's winter season, making it longer and more challenging.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Makes winter actually feel like a threat—stockpiling food and firewood becomes a real priority.
- Huge download count (116k) and 2k endorsements show it's a trusted, well-used mod.
- Simple script mod that doesn't bloat your load order with extra assets.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015, so it may not be compatible with newer game versions.
- Only extends winter—doesn't add new mechanics or content beyond the season change.
- Could conflict with other mods that alter weather or season lengths.
This is for veteran Project Zomboid players who find the default winter too short and want a longer, harsher survival test. It's also great for roleplayers who want a more immersive, brutal winter experience. If you're new to the game, you might want to skip this until you've mastered the basics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to stockpile canned food, wood, and warm clothing before winter hits—you'll need them to survive the extended cold.
- Plan your base with a fireplace or antique oven early, as you'll be spending a lot more time indoors.
- Use the extra winter time to level up skills like foraging and fishing, since outdoor activities become riskier.
