This mod overhauls Feral Ghouls and turns them into slower Romero-style zombies. Includes additional features like player infection, extra zombie spawns, and the ability to replace various creatures with zombies. A configuration holotape (and MCM support) are provided to give full control over the experience.

Increased replacement check distance to get a jump on checking replacements slightly outside load area
