9. Gnamod
Gnamod gameplay
Gnamod aims to create more of a challenge for the player. If you feel like you enjoyed the base game on its own, but needed something more difficult, this mod is ideal.
How the mod makes things more fun:
- The Gnamod mod is the most similar to the vanilla game, but with a few new modes to play with. Hoard mode, nomad mode, and necropolis – they add a whole new story line to the game.
- You will have to become extremely self-sufficient in order to survive Gnamod. The game is made more difficult through aspects besides making zombies stronger. This sets it apart from the other mods.

8. Fennec
Playing Fennec Mod 1.1
The Fennec mod offers a cool new system that sets it apart from the rest of the mods – specialization. Instead of a class system with levels, you specialize in the area you choose and are extremely good in your specialization.
How the mod makes things more fun:
- Specializations in many familiar class systems ranks like carpenter, crafter, builder, and many others. If you’re setting a goal to get something done, this is extremely useful.
- Quests tailored to your specialization.
- Deadlier feral and radiation zombies- zombies can see you much farther away with this mod and are much stronger than in the vanilla game.

3. Starvation
Break down and gameplay of Starvation
The starvation mod adds a much-needed challenge for players. Not only that, it provides much more realism and fun to the original game.
The mod is called “starvation” because of the food spoilage and plague aspect of it. However, the new animals, zombies, and bosses, makes it all worth it.
How the mod makes things more fun:
- You are can make your character insane. Which is a fun new twist to any boring old infection or illness.
- There are a lot more things to kill you! This mod has been said to be one of those most challenging of all the 7 Days to Die mods.

2) True Survival
True Survival mod gameplay
The true survival mod is similar to starvation in many ways, but has a few key differences. In the true survival mod, you get to choose one of many different “professions”, doctor, cop, soldier, chef, etc.
Although the two mods are similar, each have their own distinct characteristics that make them that much better.
How the mod makes things more fun:
- Stimulants. This is an interesting one- your character can get addicted and experience withdrawal from stimulants.
- In the true survival mod, you can no longer predict the zombie’s behavior. Each zombie varies. This makes things even more challenging!
- The “Dead is Dead” feature, the player loses 10 wellness each time they die, and when the wellness runs out, well dead is dead... you can’t spawn back into the game with that character.
