What Is This MOD?
『GAZ Fading Zombies 3』 appears to be a MOD that adjusts the corpses of defeated zombies so they disappear after a set amount of time. In standard 7 Days to Die, corpses tend to pile up on the ground after a Blood Moon or a large horde, which not only looks messy but can also bog down performance. By making those corpses “fade” (gradually disappear), this MOD seems to aim at cleaning up both the post-combat scenery and the processing load.
The “3” at the end of the name and the version label 3.0.0 suggest this is a series that has gone through repeated updates from earlier versions. This update appears to consider and implement changes so that certain special zombies previously excluded from fading (such as rancher/chunk types and poison-spitting Spider types) are once again included in the fade processing.
Main Features
- Corpses of defeated zombies fade out over time so they don’t keep lingering on the ground.
- By reducing the mass of corpses scattered after combat, it not only cleans up the visuals but is also expected to contribute to smoother performance.
- Care has been taken to include special individuals (rancher/chunk types, poison Spitter types, etc.) as fade targets as well.
- In terms of mechanics, it appears to be a lightweight MOD that adjusts existing behavior, rather than the type that drastically remakes the game’s content.
* The exact number of seconds until fading and the scope of affected zombies may vary depending on the installed version and settings. For accurate specifications, we recommend checking the original Nexus page or the included documentation.
Installation Tips
The process should be the same as installing any typical 7 Days to Die MOD.
- Download the file from the original Nexus page.
- Place the extracted folder inside the game’s
Modsfolder. - Launch the game and confirm it is applied.
If you use it in multiplayer, it’s safest to install the same MOD on the server side as well (since corpse behavior involves server-side processing). We also recommend backing up your save data before installing. Note that supported versions can change with updates, so it’s reassuring to check that the MOD matches your environment’s game version before installing.
Who Is This For?
- Players bothered by the corpses that pile up after a Blood Moon or base defense.
- Players who want to ease, even a little, the performance drag during large hordes.
- Players who want to tidy up only the visuals and comfort without significantly changing the game balance.
It’s not a MOD that adds flashy new features, but it seems to be an unsung workhorse of a MOD—the more combat-heavy your playstyle, the more you’ll feel its effect.
Note: Because the original description was based on posts from the Nexus discussion page, the finer details of the fading behavior include some speculation. Before publishing, we recommend checking the latest information on the original page and confirming its behavior in your own environment.
